Would have been cheaper to fly the mechanic over there surely.

What a jackass :rant: I mean really, just fly some bloody mechanics out there FFS :rant: :(

That article is such a load of b****cks! But then I wouldn't expect anything less from that red-top rag. At least they got the model name right this time ... :rolleyes:

 

If you go down to London, Paris and even Marbella during the summer months you'll find loads of Middle Eastern plated exotic cars driving around. These people ship their cars over for an extended holiday to escape the excruciating heat in their own countries. For example, my parents live in Dubai where it is currently between 45~50C every day with relative humidity levels approaching 90%. It really is unbearable and they, along with about 75% of all the expats that make up the population of Dubai, are currently on holiday here in Europe to escape the worst of the heat.

 

If you read a similar article as reported on the BBC website and also the Telegraph you'll see that the reporters allegedly went as far as phoning up the Lamborghinit press office. They clearly stated that this particular car has not been serviced at any of the official Lambo service centres in this country. Surely if it was here for a service the car would have been in and out in a matter of days, not seen driving around the Knightsbridge area for the past two weeks.

 

The owners are just here on holiday. End of story.

 

PS - it is not that uncommon for supercar owners to ship their cars out of the country for services. When I lived in Marbella and owned a F355 I had it shipped back to Verdi in the UK for it's major service. Transporting it on the back of an enclosed flatbed, having it serviced and then transported back again was still cheaper (not to mention more reliable) than having it serviced at C. de Salamanca's in Marbella or Madrid.
