If I were a billionaire ...
 
I think I would still enjoy the RX-8.
But I'd hire an STi as an escort car and refer all revving ricers over to it.

RX Renesis 03-02-2005 07:03 PM

i'd get M5, RX8, STi, import an EVO from jap... thats about it... oh modd the hell outta all the cars expect for the M5... which i will keep stock as it's special enough...

mikeb 03-02-2005 07:54 PM

Ike 03-02-2005 08:03 PM

I might still enjoy my WRX or an RX-8 if I were a billionaire, but I sure as hell could find about 50 cars I'd enjoy a whole hell of a lot more :D

velociti 03-02-2005 08:30 PM

McLaren F1 or F1-LM, E36 M3, E46 M3, New M5, FD, 98 Supra TT, Elise...and of course the obligatory '8. Screw the enzo...no stick shift.

I would take two of everything in the Dupont Registry.

Ike 03-02-2005 09:06 PM

Ford GT, SL 65 AMG, Fully prepped Prodrive WRC Impreza, Bentley Continental GT, F50 Ferrari, Aston martin DB4 GT Zagato, Ferrari 250 GTO 64 spec, Porsche 959, and a Range Rover I think I'd be rather content. Blueeyes is so greedy! :p

That's what the prince of Dubai does, he just calls up Ferrari and tells them to make him a totally custom car, and while you're at it send me 3 of them :p His car collection makes everyone elses in the world look like a set of silly little toys. The man reportedly ordered 25 Ferrari F1 cars after building himself (and F1) an F1 track.

Is he the guy who had Ferrari build a F430 stationg wagon or something like that? Maybe it wasn't an F430 but I read something about this recently.

Thats the Sultan of Brunei, actually his son, Prince Jeffrey.
I wouldnt call him a car lover or collector, more like a spoilt brat with infinite amount of money.

His "garage" is almost the same size as Toyotas warehouse in Japan. 2 hectares, 5 floors up.

Among his collection;
4 McLarens, he wanted more, McLaren said no, they only build 99 and the max they could give him was 4...
3 456GT estates, 1 was sold at an auction recently, photos below.
2 Custom Ferraris, pics below also, custom wheels, emblazoned with the state logo. No model number for that, you gotta ask Ferrari, they wont tell you either.
If you thought that was bad, you should see how he ordered his favourite car.
Theres SL500s in every possible exterior interior combination, 50+ at least.
Multiple, Diablos, XJ220s.
10 F50s, one of them with only 10km on the odometer and mold growing on the steering wheel.... makes you wanna cry when you see.

There was a scandal in the Royal Family where he bankrupted 2 of the state's companies, then they sold off some of his collection, including that estate.
But now that the scandal has died down, he seemed to be back on his spending sprees, reportedly 3 enzos is coming his way, red, black, yellow, again, all colors.

Youd be hard pressed to find anyone as ridiculous as him in this universe.

Anyway my brother is coming back from Brunei in a week... Ill tell him to bring the photos he took of the warehouse and show you guys ;)

himitsu 03-03-2005 04:30 AM

Ahh I remembered, that custom Ferrari name is the Mythos, or Ferrari FX, it was only a concept, which the prince liked so much he get Pininfarina and Ferrari to actually build a working car for him... they built 2 for their best customer.

The total value of his garage is estimated at 34 billion dollars.

Among his other collections, hundreds of Rolls Royces and Bentleys, most cutom made, with his wine cooler, fridge, all gold plated interiors, his favourite engines and modifications all done in the original factory, coz he ordered like 50 of these per year!

Recently he donated 31 rolls to the Dubai Shopping Spree campaign.

You know theres 20 CLK GTRs in the world... but all left hand drive, so he called up Benz and get one made specially for him, right hand drive, the only 1 in the world.

He also have a museum of all the winning F1 cars since like the 80s, he had the teams send it to him after the season, no kidding.

The auctioned 456GT estate ended up here http://www.dkeng.com/frames.php you can see it in their stock list if you wanna buy ;)
Light Green / Purple interior... really.

Check those links for a magazine article on his garage...

His garage is truely the holy grail of the automotive world.
But I think Im getting off topic here, coz even if you are a billionare, you cant get a car collection like that. :p
