More money than sense, obviously...

 Mostly Holland. Sometimes UK.
Usually, taxtherich videos are quite entertaining. But this time I have to question the dudes sanity.
Getting a 3 tonne behemoth like the Wraith sideways and at that speed is playing with fire.
The bit where he drifts it underneath his drone while spectacular footage-wise has got to be oneof his most dangerous manouvres if he didnt absolutely know that that part of the field didnt contain any bumps or undulations which could have easily have flipped him!
I think a low centre of gravity and sheer weight helped but there's an inertia/speed/stability delta at play here.
See what you think...

Would love to have seen him flip it on a rut what a tit as you say more money than sense probably not bothered if he had suppose small change oh well maybe next time he does one less idiot on the road :thumbsup:
 
It's the sort of thing they used to do on Top Gear and it's probably his land, so I bet he knows how level the fields are. Hope there no green eyed envy creeping in here Chris :poke:
How many people look at us in our z4's and think Tosser's, we have all been there, where drivers won't let you pull out, drive right up your chuff and others park very close to you.
I see a guy enjoying his car. :wink:

No envy Fred. However, I can think of classier cars to buy if I had his millions....
I'd start with one of these...

That video looks like so much fun... I hope someday I could have "more money than sense" too :D

What car is that Chris? I thought it might be a Detomaso Pantera for a second but it isn't.

Very close - It is a De Tomaso Mangusta.

Back to the Tax The Rich video - you want to see his XJ220 and Ferrari 288GTO ones! It is rumoured, though never confirmed, that the films are made by one of the offsprings from the Foxton's estate agency dynasty.

Correctomundo!
10 points. A Mangusta it is.
Not the fastest or most glamorous GT out there and suffers from a soft, wallowy chassis apparently but it's the shape and presence that does it for me, ever since me ol fella gave me a poster of one to hang on the wall of my bedroom as a nipper. It replaced a poster of Paddington bear and was subsequently replaced itself by a poster of Marilyn Monroe :lol:
 
Wow, I never knew Detomaso made another car, I thought they were a bit of a one hit wonder :P

I love a sports car that drives like a sports car should.... But there's a LOT to be said for looks, character and just "FUN" :) or the "fizz" basically as James May would put it :D
 
Not approved Rolls Royce manoeuvres I suspect, but for a behemoth like that it went well!

I reckon given the chance not one of us would turn down a chance to do that!
