this price is probably mere pocket change to a man like that. Mind you I don't get what that environmentalist was bleating on about regarding the sheikhs carbon footprint. The plane was going to fly to the UK anyway whether a car was on board or not so how can this be any worse for the planet?

I've always thought that "Saving the Planet" is a misnomer for the drive to reduce carbon emissions. The planet will be fine in the long run, it's saving mankind as a species which is the worry.

In fact, the planet will be better off without us in the long run so if anyone wants to save it, then they should be quite happy that man continues his headlong plunge into self-induced extinction. It's more likely that the planet will be blown into tiny fragments whilst we're tearing around it waving nuclear weapons at each other.

Rolls Royce / Bentley (before BMW / VW nabbed em) used to have a service team in the far east and people used to have to take their turn out there. It made sense to provide this service out there as so many cars were owned by the rich. Some had many Rollers or Bentleys each.

So I would have thought Lamborghini would do something similar. There must be the demand.

I watched a BBC1 documentary with a young scientist who toured the world showing us the amazing things on our planet. Rather refreshingly, he ended the series by saying he wasn't too worried about the planet, because Earth would eventually heal itself of any man made ills. It was humans that would die out, and as we're only a tiny part of this planet, he wasn't too bothered if it happened.

I reckon it'll be the ants that make up the next dominant species. Wonder what sort of cars they will drive (motoring link...)
