Do something you like and you'll never have to work a day in your life - thousands of kids around Europe took that to heart, and some of them use to make good money filming supercars around London, Monaco or Paris.
But we've noticed these videos have become less and less interesting in the past two years. This clip by AdamC3056 perfectly explains how and why the London supercar scene has died down.

First, let's explain how things used to be. Every summer, the richest men in the Middle East shipped their supercars to the UK capital. This usually included Lamborghini Aventadors with double the power, glossy G63s, wild-looking SLS coupes and lots of Ferraris. The good thing was that most tuning projects made their live debut in London over the summer.

Fast forward to 2016 and chrome wraps just aren't that cool, since you can see crocodile leather on a taxi. The YouTuber correctly assesses the situation and explains how bad things are.

More and more youngsters descend onto London to film fewer and fewer cool cars. It's gotten so bad that the spotters outnumber the millionaires. It doesn't require a lot of hard work to shoot everything either, as Instagram and Twitter can tell you instantly the "who, what and where" of this unique internet business.

Adam takes us to his favorite spotting location near Dorchester Hotel and shows us why things aren't that good anymore. Instead of expensive exotics, you just see a bunch of black taxis and silver estates.

We took screenshots of all the "amazing" cars Adam was able to film that day. From gold Ferraris to blue smurf Aventadors, we've pretty much seen it all already. The only one we would have bothered to check out was that old Aston Martin. How about your guys?

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
