And Jenny Evans, of pressure group Plane Stupid, said: “This horrifies me."

What a twit.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

His black-and-gold supercar costs £3,552 to service at an approved dealer...

$7,000 for an oil change?

” Jenny Evans, of pressure group Plane Stupid, said: “This horrifies me.””

Well then I guess there ought to be a law. Where should we put that on the list? Before stop stoning women and stop honor killings, or after.

[Yo-Yo]

I guess the Greenies would rather that the Sheikh send his car back to the factory and Italian mechanics, instead of providing work for UK mechanics?

[Cvengr]

If it had been a rick sheik, he would have sent it First Class.

LMAO!!

"A cargo handler at Heathrow blasted the car’s environmental damage.
He said: “It would have been far more efficient to fly mechanics out there.”
Horrifies It is another example of how rich people exploit and pollute the planet because of their money.”

IMO a soon to ve on the dole 'cargo handler.' It is none of his business and part of his job to do the work.

$7,000 for an oil change?

Geeze...I would have done it for $3000.Plus airfare to/from Qatar...a 5 star hotel while there....a couple of brown eyed 20 year olds....

$7,000 for an oil change?

Yeah, but they vacuum under the driver's seat and top off the wiper fluid. And they don't mess with the stereo. More than worth it. I'd fly my Corolla over there, but it takes four days and I need it to get to work.

In the words of another, slightly more famous Brit, “Envy is the green eyed monster, sire, and doth mock the meat it feeds upon.”

Our gas money at work. Thanks to our enviro-nazis and their lapdog Democrats in Congress, who keep the 97% of the land in the USA off-limits to drilling so we keep Arab sheikhs rolling in oil revenue.

[stevio]

All those people who work at the airport and blast this guy’s “environmental damage” should be removed from their jobs or quit. Hypocrites.

[tiredoflaundry]

$7,000 for an oil change?

I betcha he forgot his $ 2.50 off coupon at home also!

[driftdiver]

$7000 in oil money to change the oil

[palomonte]

How large do you suppose the British Royal Family’s carbon footprint to be?

Multiple huge estates
Private 300 foot yacht
Multiple private aircraft
Who knows what else

[gridlock]

He should adopt the Arianna Huffington defense and just say that air frieght flight was going to London anyway!

Of course, it helps if he can say it like Zsa Zsa Gabor...

[Hatteras]

Sweet....

[gridlock]

An airport worker said: “This car doesn’t have a carbon footprint – more of a crater.”

How dare this rich Sheikh spend his money to put bread on my table!

Of course, since this is a British airport, the guy would probably have his featherbedded job whether or not there was any frieght to unload.

It just shocks me that this rich Sheikh did not poll the airport workers in London to determine whether or not he should send his car there for service...

[gridlock]

Love the car. Hate the LEDs.
