Supercar-driving travellers from Norway have arrived in the UK with their caravans for their summer holidays
The group have got an array of luxury cars towing about 14 caravans as they travel around the country
A GROUP of European travellers pulling their caravans around the UK using supercars have switched cities as they look for women on their summer holiday.
The travellers from France, Norway and Spain first arrived in Derby two weeks ago and stunned residents with their flash cars.
High end cars such as a Porsche, a Bentley and several Mercedes and BMW's pulled 14 caravans onto Markeaton Recreation Ground where the group pitched up.
Now the 100-strong group are in Nottingham, with one aim - "the girls".
Carlo Vivardo, a Norwegian resident from the group, said: "We came here for the girls.
"The girls in Nottingham are great. When I drove my Porsche through the city centre, they loved it.
"This is a holiday. We work hard but we are not here to work. We also watched the Euro 2016 football game [between Portugal and France] here."
Another member of the travellers, Leonardo Kalarsco, who is from Sweden, added: "There are good gypsies and bad gypsies. We are good.
"We are not here to fight anybody, we are on holiday."
Local residents near where the gypsies have set up camp in Nottingham gave a mixed reaction to the group yesterday.
Louise Young said people were "shocked" when the travellers arrived at the recently refurbished cricket pitch and pavilion on Sunday afternoon.
She added: "If you're on holiday you can go anywhere in England and find a registered
campsite.
"It's nice round here but it's not somewhere you can camp.
"Surely with those cars they can afford to pay for somewhere to stay.
"It cost a lot of money to do it up and usually there's loads of kids playing there.
"Let's wait and how much mess they leave."
Dog walker Giuseppe Castagna added: "They have done nothing to hurt me but it's not a camping area.
"They should go somewhere else."
Nottingham City Council served a notice on the group on Monday morning (11/7), meaning that they have 24 hours to leave or else the council will start legal action.
But Mr Kalarsco and Mr Vivardo both said they intend to stay for a week and expect legal proceedings could take that long.
Last week the travellers told how they were enjoying their summer holiday in Britain so much that they planned to return in 2017.
Nina Boae, 63, who came from Norway, said: "I love it here. The scenery is really nice and it's very pleasant.
"I really like it here because there is a lot of open space and we can relax.
"We will be staying for a week. We will definitely come back when we are on our travels and we're looking forward to it."
