oh this is in Singapore.
And we have the most expensive cars in the world.
So having these cars mean he is DAMN RICH!!!
let me calculate:

Ferrari 360 Modena - S$700,000
Pagani Zonda C12 S - S$1,980,000
Lamborghini Murcielago - S$1,300,000
Ferrari F50 (at least S$1,500,000 to import this rare car)
Ferrari F512 M - S$1,000,000
Porsche Boxster - S$300,000
Porsche 911 Turbo - S$700,000
Mercedes SL 55 AMG - S$580,000
Mercedes S500 - S$413,000
Lexus LS430 - S$281,000
Audi A4 Cabriolet - S$205,000
Some Harley Davidson bike. S$30,000

Total: S$8,989,000

and there's a underground garage, who knows what he has inside?
Almost S$10 million worth of cars... I can live my whole live comfortably!!!

Sad thing is that I bet they're rarely driven. Just owned by some rich dude who wants to show off his wealth.

Bloody hell. I've never seen a garage like that. Allthough I was in a garage in Michigan, USA, with 25 cars worth way over 100million USD, but they were all classics, like old Bugattis and stuff. images/smilies/smile.gif

He some guy who's into electronics years back. Listed company and he sold it to a US company called Flextronics for something in the region like 200 million.
and he have been living a relaxing life ever since. Heard he's into investments now.

to get the F50 is damn cool...
and he didn't get to keep his car for years as its not road legal and have to be kept in the Ferrari dealer's warehouse.

but he paid some taxes to get his car back.

he placed in his living room before shifting it out.
most expensive garage I ever seen... drool....

he got a pure bronze eagle sitting in his garden. Heard its 1.3 million...
his servants even got uniform
and he got a guy specially to clean and wax his cars...

can't imagine the amount of road tax he paid a year.

Check out this link:

http://www.gulfautomart.com/carcollection.html

This is Mohammed Bin Sulayem's garage. He is a 14 time Middle East FIA Rally Champion. His cars include:
Ferrari Enzo, F50, F40
Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport (one of a kind modified by AMG with a 7.3L engine with 100hp more than the original)
Jaguar XJ 220
Porsche 959, 911 GT1
An 800 hp Toyota Landcruiser! images/smilies/eek.gif


If you guys have seen "Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld" they had an episode on Dubai and he was interviewed in it. I grew up in Dubai and was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of his CLK GTR on the streets when it was still unmodified.

Seinfeld has a 959 too doesn't he? I remember reading about how he was bummed that he doesn't get to drive it because it's not road-legal..

No idea, all i know is he's a huge porche fan, and has a couple of speedsters and a 550 spider.

But if he can afford a 550, a 959 shouldn't be out of his reach.

ya i took the pic. It in a expensive housing area. He even decorated his address like some hotel sign board.

there are currently about 4 F50 here, but they are all not legal to drive because its left-hand drive.

Murcielago should be around 20+ over, but don't see them much.
F512M is rare here. This is the only one i saw before.
360 is rather common, but a damn expensive car here.
only 5 Zonda here, and a Zonda Roadster. I haven't seem them on road yet.

Singapore is very small country and only right-hand drive cars allowed.
Still there are rich people here who brought cars like the Porsche GT1 and Carrera GT. But they are registered in other countries.

Saw a Enzo at the only Ferrari dealer here.
Its kept in their warehouse and I sneak inside during their preview of the 612.

but i was chase out, damn... only manage to take 1 very dark picture of the super car...

Considered lucky to see that car so closely, alot of people saw it before at a car show. but it was damn far away...

Yep, Seinfeld has an 959. So does Bill Gates images/smilies/smile.gif
BTW, I've seen an article by Seinfled where he reviewed Carrera GT about a year ago. It was quite funny. I'll try to find it if anyone is interested.
