Car Spotters Become Spottees in This Weird Role-Reversing Video

As the name would have you believe, they're the ones who loiter in key points of key cities (London, Monaco), cameras ready, looking out for exotic wheels or loud conversions. Why do they do that? It probably started out as a form of manifesting their passion for fast cars, but it has since been a little tainted. Now, it's all part of a sick mutual-dependant relationship between them and the guys showing off their rides. One cannot live without the other.

As for those in front of the cameras' lenses, it's easy to see why they're doing it. It's their moment of fame. They enjoy being hunted as if they were Hollywood stars or something. Their egos are tickled by these people chasing them around, even though it's actually their cars they're after - they couldn't care less who's driving them. They've made the money, but they failed to become famous, and so they use their glitzy vehicles to achieve that.

It would appear that one such car spotter took a step back and realized it was all becoming "one massive circus," so he decided to focus on what his fellow carparazzi were doing, instead of the actual cars. The result is pretty scary, showing mobs of fast-moving zombies running from one part of the street to another to get the perfect shot of a Ferrari or Bugatti.

In the absence of any hypercars, the mob is in the mood to have some fun, so somebody shouts "give me some revs" toward a bus driver. "I'm not allowed," the man entrusted with the safe transportation of tens of people replies. Another voice from behind the camera then tells him what he should think of the rules and those who apply them. But it's not very nice, so we won't reproduce it, nor say whether we think he's right about it.
