Report: Ultra-Rich Man Flies Lamborghini to U.K. From Qatar for Service
Thursday, July 31, 2008

A rich Arab has caused uproar after reportedly putting his Lamborghini on a 6,500-mile round trip to Britain — for an oil change.

The $376,000 supercar was put on a flight from Qatar to Heathrow Friday before being flown back after the service, the U.K.'s Sun newspaper reported Thursday.

The transport of the Murciélago LP640 – driven by Batman in "The Dark Knight" — would have cost the owner — believed to be a Sheikh — about $40,000, the paper reported.

The move sparked fury from employees at Heathrow.

“This car doesn’t have a carbon footprint — more of a crater,” one airport worker told the paper.

The overall cost of sending the black-and-gold supercar to London for the oil change would have cost more than $45,000, The Sun reported.

On Monday, the vehicle was flown back to Qatar.

Ah yes, where he then every so humbly drove it around the country full of impoverished workers and people struggling just to feed their family.

it is his business but in Islam we are not suppose to be excessive and show our wealth like this way. it is not about if we are jealos of it. our Prophet Mohammad peace be on him told us many stories of the rich muslim who were very humble and a caliph who walked while his servant rode the camel and when they entereed a town the people were surprise to see his humble to his servant. this is a big show off and there are to many poor ones in our country.

I wonder... if he needed a tire change, would he ship the tires over, send the car to the UK to have British engineers change the tires, or just buy a brand new Lambo.
