Gas guzzler: A motorist from the Middle East has reportedly spent the guts of €30,000 shipping his "Batman" Lamborghini over 3,000 miles by plane from Qatar to London for an oil change.

The €250,000 car was transported on a scheduled flight and then flown back to the Middle East. The service cost €5,000 with the rest going on freight charges. The mysterious owner might as well have gone to the Arctic and strangled a few polar bears in person.
