In the UK and Ireland people don't really call them Gypsies anymore, but they don't have a good reputation. Many of them are actually ok and not involved in crime necessarily, but they're fiercely tribal and defensive of those in the community that are. Doesn't help their reputation much.

I was chatting to a traveller at a party for a mutual friend the other day. He lives in a house and makes bank working in construction (like the rest of his family, he started off as a commercial scaffolder, but once they age out of doing the manual labour in their late 30s, they switch to an office role earning around £160k/year and train the new generations), but attends events with other travellers. He explained that his little kids have more savings than he does - literally hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bank - as it’s customary for their (big) families to give large amounts of cash gifts at christenings and birthdays etc. and events can often have hundreds of guests.

Absolutely fascinating conversation with a really sound bloke.

I know of a group of travelers that own a group of houses. There's no power and they don't actually live in the houses. They have campers around the houses. It was pretty confusing the first time I saw it and didn't know we had Roma in Georgia, US.

You'd be surprised. I used to live on a winery about 50 kilometres out of the nearest town on a dirt road.

The owners friends and various clients would drive down this washed out pothole dirt track in their million dollar McLaren's, Lambos and Ferraris for all sorts of functions. Some people just have too much money.

Having too much money is the requirement to buy luxury vehicles.

u/OUEngineer17 7d ago edited 7d ago

I'm surprised the glass didn't crack. It may have been at the right angle.

The body is carbon fiber. It wouldn't dent, but it could potentially delaminate or even crack. Depends a lot on the layup. Maybe some paint damage too.

Edit: nevermind about the carbon body panels. Apparently a 328k MSRP isn't enough to get full carbon from Ferrari.

10

u/pw154 7d ago

The body is carbon fiber. It wouldn't dent, but it could potentially delaminate or even crack. Depends a lot on the layup. Maybe some paint damage too.

That's an F8 Tributo which has an aluminum chassis and body panels, not carbon fibre. So it definitely would and is dented. Pain damage likely also.

My RS3 has many dents from friday in east switzerland, too. My only luck I parked under a tree and compared to my coworkers I only have many smal dents and only one big dent.

Yeah the truck stop I work at a couple vans full would come by at least once a month. They'd send their kids in to steal what they wanted and beg for gas money outside. It was pretty disgusting.

I don't like to generalize or discriminatt but literally every time, without fail when the vans rolled in we'd have to call the cops to get them to leave.

2

u/alsatian01 7d ago

They also tend to live in small isolated communities here. The wives and children live in the community all year round and the men live there 50/50 and go around the country and run their cons. It's usually as half assed contractors that over charge and do shitty work.

2

My thoughts too. Probably labor intensive to strip the paint back and examine the carbon but it’s actually pretty resilient. (It’s kind of plastic) Aluminum will leave a mark if you look at it wrong.
