Gareth Bale clearly made the most of his time back in the UK ahead of the new season, with the Real Madrid star living life in the fast lane as he was pictured next to a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
Bale was granted access to the Mercedes, which retails from £148,000 and goes from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, from car company Auto Vivendi - who he has a membership with.
The 25-year-old can therefore enjoy using their vast collection of cars at any time whilst on his trips back to the UK.

Bale will be hoping to rediscover the form he showed during his first year at the club, where he won the Champions League, Copa del Rey, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Despite scoring 17 times and chipping in with 12 assists last season, the world's most expensive player drew criticism from supporters as the club finished second to arch-rivals Barcelona in Lia Liga, while also getting knocking out by Juventus in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
