. . . The move sparked fury from employees at Heathrow.
This car doesnt have a carbon footprint more of a crater, one airport worker told the paper.
Well, they found
one airport worker to quote, so perhaps it " . . . sparked fury from
an employee at Heathrow."
Aren't Lamborghinis made in Italy?
Wouldn't it have made more sense (if that's the word) to send it back to the
factory if you were flying it out for an oil change?
Or have the factory send out a tech to do the oil change on-site?
. . . $40K might be a typical evening of dinner for some friends. Money is an endless flow, a meaningless number.
A number of people there are VERY rich.
And they have been for a long time.
My Dad worked for an engineering consulting firm back in the late '50s and early '60s, and had a colleague who spent a couple of months working in the Middle East for Aramco or something. When he left, one of the sheikhs he worked for gave him a parting gift as he was getting on the airplane - he thanked him, and didn't think anything of it. When he got home, he found it was a fancy pocket watch.
Just for the heck of it, he took it to a jeweler to have it appraised.
It WAS gold, and the gems it was decorated with were REAL . . . appraised price was $17,000, which was enough to buy a house back then.
Dad observed that if he told anyone else and the word got out, he'd be dinged for taxes and import duties, and maybe a penalty for failing to declare it.
