I love this, a lot. The car is from Kuwait and I’m guessing its probably the same group of guys who do the yearly Jahra to Europe trip. If anyone knows them please put me in touch. I’d love to join them on their next trip and document the whole experience. I’ve got my Datsun, just need to plaster some cheesy stickers on it and it will be ready. [YouTube]

This person will be apprehended shortly for misrepresenting Kuwait by MOI abroad and will loose his passport, Joining him is not advisable.
say what?
He speaks the truth. They have in the past confiscated (for 5 years) the passports of Kuwaitis who appear on videos doing things like that in Europe.
Burnouts? Really? You want to be part of this? Grow up. Do burnouts on a proper track and not on a public street whilst endangering others. When people see this first hand in their streets, they are not impressed. They are annoyed and think the people doing this are lame attention seekers.
Exactly. At least teenagers have an excuse for acting stupid. Do it on a track or hand in or “grown man” card.
i’m fascinated by the mixing of the two cultures not by the actual fucking burnout.
If that’s what your’re interested in, then there are plenty of other opportunities where you can experience “the mixing of cultures” that aren’t so juvenile such as this.
Which part of its not about the burnout did you not get?
Didn’t say you were interested in the burnout. I said if you were just fascinated by the mixing of cultures, then there are a lot more ways to experience that than associating with these people.
Maybe for you, but I’m actually interested in these guys and have been for a couple of years. You just don’t see what I see here but that’s fine.
You’re right I don’t. But I’m sure I’m not missing much.
Please, do tell how burnouts are endangering others? Especially from an underpowered car. Also, I can promise you about 80% of people who seen this in public thought it was awesome. When you live in a boring, dirty city like Paris, a little excitement goes a long way.
you’re a bit of a twat Eric S. Most people just want to get on with their lives without twats around them.
Ummmm? Not a good place to try daft antics like that these days.

This is why people have a negative view on Arabs abroad.

I go to London often and I see these antics during the summer time. Sadly, some of the attention grabbing is a bit too much (folks poking outside the sunroof and yelling as they drive in congested streets, as if we won World football tournament causing for celebrations :-), people walking by just roll their eyes and try to ignore the scene.
I admit some of the noises is just too much for my liking, I’d like it if they were more subtle about it.
How lovely let’s just burn out Infront of a nation’s reknown and beloved landmarks while endangering the lives of others. Are these people the same ones who murdered a duck in a public park? Absolute animals, they really do deserve to have their passports taken off them and never get it back. London’s police really should reduce their cars into small metal cubes. The nerve of them to fucking wake people up at 6am in a foreign city cause they want to fuck around.
The guys that killed the swan had their passports confiscated already. That’s another group of lovely gentlemen.
This guy here got his passport confiscated recently:

“plaster some cheesy stickers” hahahaah
Looool
I wonder how u will fit in with these guys :)))
Absolute disgrace..
These guys are incredibly stupid. Are they even aware this shot will cost them their passports, the lot of them. All their details are with the MOI and they will be apprehended the minute they cross the Kuwaiti border. Their details may also be forwarded to the relevant embassies in Kuwait to be blacklisted forever. Enjoy being in Kuwait for many summers to come fools. Driving across Europe is cool. Breaking European laws while you’re at it is stupid.
How does kuwait law apply overseas? Not a sarcastic question, I’m just curious. This is can be only described as stunting in countries such as Canada, United States. Not too sure about Britain but surely even if he does get a traffic violation by London police, do they report him to embassy of Kuwait or just report internally?
Chill out people!!
OK so it’s reckless and silly but if nobody got hurt, what’s the big deal?! Also if you know anything about London you’ll know that the area around Big Ben is not residential
So typical to want the government/nanny state to punish everyone and everything you don’t agree with. Leave it to London police to deal with the matter; the most they’ll get is a fine. The Kuwaiti embassy should only get involved if it’s a real crime (murder, robbery)
yeah but they’re still asses. I think it’s stupid that the govt gets involved but this assholery (for want of a better word) is a cultural problem. Kuwaitis need to stop behaving like the whole world belongs to them and just leave that entitled shit for back home. I mean it would be great if they stopped being so entitled at home too but that’s never going to happen.
These journeys are called “Ishtirakyat Al-Awazim”. It started in the 1980s.
To join them you must be:
1- Azmi
2-age 18-24
3- own and drive: NissanGT, Ford Mustang, Or Nissan Z.
God, this shit gets on my nerves. It’s bad enough you’re doing this garbage on our streets here in Kuwait, but to go abroad just so the world can see how fucking retarded you are? “Oh, look, the car is making loud noises, vroom vroom” Call me a sociopath, but whenever I see one of these fucktards revving up their cars and drifting on public streets I have the biggest urge to run them through with my car. I hope their passports are taken and they never embarass our country again.
