They regularly fly their cars around with them when they travel.

"It's estimated that the cost of this exercise would have been in the region of £25,000, including £20,000 for the flight alone."

If the above statement is true, what's more astonishing is that the greedy dealer must have charged £5000 for a simple oil change and a short return low-loader Heathrow/London trip!!!!

I'd have done it for half that!

Unsurprisingly, there has been outrage from environmentalists at the utter waste and extravagance displayed by the Lamborghini's owner,
If someone knows who these enviromentalists are, give them a slap on my behalf.

An airport worker said: “This car doesn’t have a carbon footprint – more of a crater.”
I hope the greenies spat out their lentils when they read about that one
