Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Statistically correct.

As of 2022 there were over 15K supercars / hypercars registered on the UK roads, and the most prevalent brand at the very top of the list is Ferrari.

McLaren is 2nd, but it's not actually close.

10K Ferraris compared to only 2K McLarens, and 2K Lamborghinis... everything else making up the last 1K or so.

There were 184 supercars in the London Borough of Wandsworth alone... Wandsworth... and based on the above distributed you can expect to find 122 Ferraris just in Wandsworth.

For a ridiculous car, it is by far the most common.

Also whilst we're here, may as well have 2020 data showing ownership by gender, because the DVLA has this, but only specific named brands were in the dataset I found:

Many aren't supercars per se, they're the supercar branded SUVs that people in places like Wandsworth aspire to. Things like the Ferrari Purosangue or Lamborgini Urus.

They're just one-upmanship on cars like the Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Discovery, BMW X5, Audi Q8, Merc GLE, Volvo XC90, etc.

Is that not because there’s an enormous super car dealers in Wandsworth so they’ll all be in trade?

Rhyming slang: Joe Macari = Dodgy Ferrari

The closest I’ve been to bothering them is getting a new key done for my combo van in the locksmith just down from them :)

Good locksmith for chipped car keys though.

I used to live above the old shop.

It was Ferrari owners club at Goodwood this gone weekend when I cycled past. Lots of Ferraris going in and out, as well as other posh cars.

They're very noisy.

I picked an unsexy borough down the list, the top of the list is obviously Westminster and also Kensington, but Camden is comparable to Wandsworth in terms of silly car ownership.

Now which borough tops the list on silly bike ownership? What do you mean there's no data?

Probably Richmond.

All of the data is right here

Wandsworth is unsexy? It's been tory forever, i'd expect to see a skew in the data for cunty car ownership. You'll obvs see pockets of registration which align with the areas of deep poverty.

Anyone who’s genuinely interested in cars - rather than insecure about their social status - would have a 240z over a Macan/Cayenne. As you say, they’re just rebadged Tiguans.

I'm bald

Shirley hair plugs are more golf club? Unless we’re talking nutsack obvs.

Turkish hair plugs?
