    London car park

    I had to park in London the other day ... driving round and round, everywhere was permit holders only
    After almost an hour I saw the P of an NCP ..... praise the Lord.
    I had stumbled upon the mother of all NCP car parks .... an underground metal porn shop.
    I lost track of how many Rolls, Bentleys, Ferrari's, Cars under covers and whatever else was down there. There were several cars (Bentley's and the like) covered in dust like they hadn't been driven in months.
    As I walked back I tried to grab some phone pics - phone held at waist and snapped as I scanned past - these pics are only a small show of what was down there.

    The first thing you see when you drive down, get your ticket and go past the barrier are 2 (BIG) Rolls, under covers in special reserved parking with plaques on the wall - it's an NCP ffs.

    Can anybody identify the black Ferrari lurking in the dark ? ... sorry for the black picture of the black Ferrari .... it looked like the devil, hiding ... it had kind of mesh (?) running up the wings from the lights ? .... it was very rude to stare so I couldn't linger.

    btw - parking was £11 per hour ... I was there for 3 hours ... it was odd though, it wasn't so much a car park for "outsiders" as it was an underground garage for local residents.

              London, it's a different world.

              So that's a 458? I am sure there is one of those that uses the road past my house as a test track., and it sounds nuts, even though I am not really into Ferraris.
              I did wonder about having a go against it, but the guy gives it some serious ****! It makes a change from the usual Discoverys.

              I wonder if anyone else took spy shots of your RS2 while it was parked there.

                    The weird thing about the Cadogan car park was that no cars seemed to move or you had the sense that they were sleeping - odd .... and nobody around.

                          Thanks Carl, I did wonder where I had left my Ferrari
                          For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

                            It must be a special car park the spaces are massive! No way you could get any of those cars in a space in a normal carpark let alone open the doors..

                            Really?

                            I think I'd take the most expensive one, sell it buy an RS2, do a total bare metal resoration, then with the change buy an S2 coupe and and avant and do the same to them, buy an RS4 (why not?) and still have change left over to build a massive garage to keep them all in

                              Very true - didn't notice at the time .... I still did the usual drive around to find somewhere that wouldn't get a door opened on my car.

                              Yep ... 70% of the cars down there would have a buyer bite your hand off if you were selling one for a £100,000
