Line of Ferrari cars in front of my hotel in London. I have not seen a Porsche here all day. Nothing but Ferrari and Lamborghini.

I think this hotel is the (Radisson Collection Hotel) in Straton Street just around the corner from the Porsche showroom in Piccadilly
I guess it is just proof that 911 and 718 owners prefer to drive their cars than showcase them around London to advertise their wealth !

many from the Middle East bring their toys to London for the summer. Amazing how “affordable” these super cars are but garages are like unicorns in London.

You should've seen the line-up outside the Hotel Hermitage in Monaco for the Grand Prix.

Yes, it is the Mayfair Hotel. Full of Arabs this time of year with all of their super cars. They drive around the area revving those engines in 2 MPH traffic, lol. I stopped by the Porsche dealer, I guess the actual dealership is somewhere in burbs and these places are just for show? I though maybe they would have some merchandise to buy that we cannot get in the US, but they just have two cars on display.

Week 1 of ownership of this new to me GTS 3 tanks of gas down - Took Friday off to get it inspected and took it for a 200 mile drive around the Catskill region of NYS, Saturday headed to the Berkshires for some baked goods and made it home before the rain. Sunday was beautiful and we again took it out to head back over into the Catskills -

Breakfast stop

Grabbed some for home

Heading up into The Berkshires for baked goods
