I just spent 3.5 months in Qatar...almost every time I went out in Doha, I'd see at LEAST one exotic car. I would expect that there's a Lamborghini dealership somewhere in the country...and if not, than at least nearby in U.A.E.

yep, there it is...dealer right there in Doha. So, absurd though it may be, flying Lambo techs to his city makes no sense. Apparently he just wanted the oil change done at the place in London.

I have a picture of him on my phone at a stop light in his Hamann Lambo in London... I was there that summer! Then when the summer was over I saw the oil change story on the net.
BTW, there are a few videos on youtube made by pedestrians of him driving up and down the same posh street in London just to show off. Search using terms like arab, london, supercar, lambo, etc.
Dude was wearing a sun cap and shades, looked around 25. Passenger also looked around 25.

I would have spent that money on hookers and just let the car fall apart. 8/9/2010 8:25:52 PM |

Man, talk about the double whammy. Not only did those cars get boots put on them, but vandals painted them that horrific shade of blue and then put all that stupid looking graffiti on the side.
Sucks to be that guy. 9/18/2010 2:23:47 AM |

I can't remember who he is, but every supercar in that dude's collection is baby blue.
And another dude in the Daily Mail link has every supercar in orange + matte black, even a Maybach. 9/18/2010 2:24:20 PM |
