Man ships his Lamborghini for service from Qatar to London

Saudis = the epitome of human decadence

I would imagine they'd be still living in caves if it weren't for the oil.

Qatar is on the same peninsula...I don't mind people have exorbant wealth, but I think if you are given a lot, a lot is expected of you and I don't know if this sort of spending is healthy or good. Not spoken as a person upset with high gas prices, but as a human being who sees millions of people dying for food in this world of ours.

Wouldn't it have just been easier (and cheaper) to just fly in the mechanic, parts and equipment?

Excessive spending! I guess you haven't read about the sheik who bought an Airbus A380 and converted part of the lower deck as stables for his race horses to travel in when they would go around the world to race horses.

I do not know why people on this site try to act so pious all the time. You all make money and buy new luxury vehicles, which are justified because of your income...well most of the time. If someone on this site can make 100k per year and drive a 5 series worth 50k, why can't someone who has hundreds of millions of dollars, growing daily, not ship his car out to get it serviced the way it was supposed to be serviced? If the guy wants his Lambo serviced by a Lambo mechanic, is it his fault there are no Lambo mechanics in Qatar? Would he have shipped it to London if the same service and quality was available in his home country? You guys jump to conclusions without looking at the facts. And please stop hating on Middle Eastern people cause they have money. We should all try to increase our own income to achieve our dreams, without dogging on others for having what we don't have. If I had 100 million dollars and drove a Lambo and lived in Qatar for whatever reason, you bet I would send it to London to get it serviced the proper way. The Middle East is alot more than oil now. Dubai is the port of the world, they make money on tourism. Look at Dubai's GDP and only 4% of it comes from oil. People need to start looking at the changing world, and drop the assumptions.

Last time I checked America was the number one market for almost every exotic car in the world. We are the fattest country in the world, and we have more SUV's than anyone in the world. If we can live like kings, I think other people should be able to also. So many Americans have 2-3 vacation homes all over the world, that they use maybe 2 weeks out of the whole year. Is that not too much? I don't think it is. I say awesome. I wish I could have 2-3 vacation homes all over the world. I don't hate on people who do.

Finally a good argument, I can appreciate that question. But who knows maybe the dealership he got it from was in London.

Cant really blame you guys, being under a media siege.
It's really sad to see a true example or ignorance to read that someone in the 21th century thinks that Arabs are still living in caves. use your brain cells man
