    Badge said 5000S. Does that make it LP500S? 1982 I believe.

    Hello folks, new here - thought id post my recent superleggera spotting from Gosford, north of Sydney, heck i even made a video and upped it onto the tubes as i believe the probability of me seeing this beauty in my town was that or a needle in a haystack.
    [yeah i made a post at aussieexotics too under my usual "mowaza" nick"]


    Enjoy! link to the video: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=T2l57QRxfwM

    Sigh.........wouldn't it be good to have some serious money. :D:D

    A RICH Arab sent his Lamborghini on a 6,500-mile round trip to Britain for a service.
    The £190,000 supercar was put on a scheduled flight from Qatar to Heathrow – then flown BACK after the oil check.

    Money was no object as the flight would have cost the owner – thought to be a Sheikh – around £20,000.

    The move sparked fury from green campaigners.

    An airport worker said: “This car doesn’t have a carbon footprint – more of a crater.”

    The overall cost of sending the Lamborghini to London for the oil change would have cost more than £23,000.

    His black-and-gold supercar costs £3,552 to service at an approved dealer – on top of the £20,000 to freight from Qatar to Britain.

    The Murciélago LP640 – driven by Batman in movie The Dark Knight – arrived from the Middle Eastern country on Friday.

    It cleared customs and was trucked to specialist mechanics in London for the service.

    On Monday it was flown back 3,250 miles to the oil-rich state where it was collected by the owner.

    A cargo handler at Heathrow blasted the car’s environmental damage.

    He said: “It would have been far more efficient to fly mechanics out there.”

    Horrifies
    And Jenny Evans, of pressure group Plane Stupid, said: “This horrifies me. It is another example of how rich people exploit and pollute the planet because of their money.”

    She said the role of the super-wealthy in climate change was not properly recognised – while poor people were rapped for going on holiday.

    Friends of the Earth’s transport campaigner Richard Dyer said: “Flying a car thousands of miles for a service is ludicrous when planes are one of the most polluting ways to transport goods. We urge the individual to get their car serviced closer to home.”


    But David Price, of Lamborghini Club UK, said: “If an owner wants to service his car in that way, it is his choice.

    “I’m not surprised. Thankfully the age of excess in some areas continues.”

    Lamborghini UK spokeswoman Juliet Jarvis said there could be “kudos” for a Middle Eastern owner in servicing a car in London.

    She said the exclusive Italian brand had a network of authorised dealers around the world – and most cars were looked after in the country where they were bought.

    But she added: “This sort of thing is not unheard of.”

    Qatar Airways confirmed it carried the Lamborghini.

    The cars are popular with celebs including Rod Stewart and David Beckham

    Yeh I'm working in the Gulf at the moment, It nucking futs the amount of money some people have around here, just as equal to the amount of people who struggle day to day. Lots of exotics floating around, one off designs are big also.

    Probably, so that's why I usually ask first if the owners are around. Usually they oblige once I explain its just a hobby (and I'm not from the ATO!), and some even want the pics sent to them.

    Thanks, I do my best!

    PS. Haven't seen a Lambo for over a week :(

    That Hamann LP640 has been tearing up London all summer long (Northern hemisphere summer) so I don't know why they would send it back to their local and then ship it back to the UK?? Have any of you seen pics from London over the last month or two? Well if didn't know, all the Arabian guys ship their cars over to London and just cruise around!!! Why? Because it's too hot in their local countries lol

    Btw if you type into Youtube "LP640 Hamann downshift" You'll be able to see it tearing up London, with on of the loudest down shifts i've EVER heard!! My mate Zach in London, made the vids :) Check them out, it's too good to be missed!

    Oh and turn your speakers up as far as they can go =D
