    This was on the Sun news paper today. Click here

    It would have been cheaper if the mechanics came instead of sending the car.

    The SUN is full of BS. It's Moh'd iirc. He just came like all the other guys with its own car to London.
    Moreover, this summer, Qatar airways was offering free car transfer by plane to London for Qataris flying executive. ****ing BS

    And umm... can anybody confirm... i remember when we has the SLR shipped by air it had to be emptied of fluids. It was a cargo plane tho, do the same measures apply when shipping your car in a passenger plane?

    Sorry thats total BS

    100s of cars from Dubai Qatar and saudi are shipped by air to London every year just for fun!

    click this and go to the later pages and you will see that its pretty much a normal thing! with the wildest cars in the world all crusing around central London...

    This is quite common. A lot of rich middle eastern guys ship their cars to London for the summer. Not to mention that Sir Paul McCartney had his Hybrid Lexus shipped from Japan via cargo plane. Bunch of hypicrytical idiots. Who cares anyway. Let him do what he wants.

    ok this should prove somthing ....

    here is that same lambo owner trying to get a jump start.

    you would think that a guy who shipped his car to london to get an oil change, wouldnt be cought dead doing somthing like that.

    the whole article was a crap to begin with.

    If the guy has the money and wants to spend it that way, more power to him... To all those tree huggers who aren't smart enough or don't work hard enough to have enough money to spend it that way, sucks to be you and quit trying to ruin life for the rest just because you can't get what you want. Hell Al Gore, the king of the green communists here in the United States, tells all of the liberals to eat pine needles and live off the land all the while chugging is lear jet around the world for a bucket of ice cream. I guess that proves that he knows that the greenies are just idiots leaving the resources for him to consume at his will.

    Totally crap, the car has been seen in London for the first time around june 30th and I've seen it almost every day for the past two weeks. The guy drives around Harrods twice a day then shuttles between the major hotels in London. It's parked at the Grosvenor House parking. No way he's here for an oil change.

    Btw, there is another LP640 Hamann in London in another color....

    This story is absolute trash, the Sun released the story, a tabloid that prints crap, written by idiots.

    The likelyhood is that the owner flew the car over to the UK, as many people do from the Middle East to use over the summer in the UK. Incidently he booked it in for a service while it was in the UK.

    I know many Arab guys who fly their cars over.

    P.s. the accents are gold.

    Noone seems to have mentioned the greatest irony - airport workers who denounce this car owner for environmental apathy. That's like a tobacco factory worker getting all self-righteous about environmental carcinogens. :rolleyes:

    Playing on "Popular Belief" is so easy in countries intoxicated with junk press and junk tv, and more inhabitants it has bigger the lies are. That's where some urban legends and hoaxes come from. For most of the common people what's going on is completely not understable and the Sun is using/abusing this. Bigger the scam is, bigger the W-O-M is, i can easily imagine some workers in Manchester talking about this story during their lunchbreak or something...
