Shock videos show airport parking ‘cowboys’ racing cars at 80mph after driver revealed his BMW was left with huge bill
SHOCKING videos have shown airport parking “cowboys” racing cars at speeds of up to 80mph an hour.
The clips, posted to TikTok, see the yobs hurtling through narrow paths between rows of parked vehicles as they seek cheap thrills.
It is believed that the drivers were staff of airport parking firms joyriding customers’ cars while they enjoyed a trip away, according to Bristol Live.
In one clip, the men can be heard discussing one of the cars, with one telling the other to “make the most of it” while it’s owner was away.
A second video shows a BMW being driven at high speed, while others show several cars being revved hard before streaking off.
In all of the footage, the culprits drive in the gaps between rows of cars in the parking area, just a few feet away from disaster on either side.
Commenters on social media were left outraged by the revelations.
One wrote: “That’s why you never hand over your keys at airport parking.“
Another added: “Never take a nice car to a drop and go in any airport.”
Others slammed the drivers as “cowboys” and “tramps”.
This is not the first time Bristol Airport has seen controversy of this kind, with one man telling The Sun that his BMW had been raced around the very same car park at 55mph.
Rob Butler was left facing a whopping £300 bill to have the ceramic paint on the £50,000 car redone after it was left covered in dust.
It comes after one woman revealed that her car had been taken on a 200-mile joyride while it was supposed to be sitting safely in an airport car park as holidayed in northern Africa.
However, one savvy saver did have a positive holiday experience as she saved £600 on a more reliable parking service thanks to a Martin Lewis tip.
Bristol Airport has been contacted for comment.
