Another vehicle with a wrap . . . .
f you walk around the posh parts of London, you're likely to see a load wannabe celebrities from Made in Chelsea, tourists, and cars that are much more expensive than yours.
Rupert Richmond-Dodd, who drives a Ford Ka, was in the unfortunate situation of having to park next to a fleet of gold supercars on Wednesday in Knightsbridge. His modest vehicle was situated next to a Mercedes G 63, which costs around £370,000, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, at £313,000, and a Lamborghini Aventador, which will set you back around £260,000. And yes, all of the cars were a very subtle shiny gold. So what did Rupert do? How did he enact his pizz-takery on the surrounding whips? Well, he did what he could to make his Ka fit in with the Knightsbridge scene. The results were outstanding.. . . .

Love it
That's such a British response to an ostentatious display of wealth.
I doff my cap to you, Rupert.

The gold cars are picking up parking tickets daily. The nearby NCP is £50 for 24 hours, however the parking fine is £40 per day (if paid early) so maybe the Saudi owner is being smart and saving a tenner per car per day to park
