Default Dyson's new car

I was returning from London yesterday and during the pre-flight walkaround I saw a race car being loaded on my plane. I checked it out and saw that it was a Lola and the destination was Dyson racing in NY

Awesome! They didn't allow you a discretionary test drive on the tarmac, Captain?

Lots of very interesting stuff makes it into the cargo hold. Although that car is pretty well tied down I would have thought that it came in its own little box. What is the declared value on one of those puppies?

Nice to know what's in your 777's cargo hold.
