2MB Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Some cool vehicles, especially the rainbow striped ones. I wonder if anyone has explained the gay pride connotations to the sheikh? Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Quality stuff there - I remember the giant Dodge and possibly the monster Merc from Clarkson's Motorworld... overrun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Indeed. Incredible that the super-size Dodge actually drives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I can remember reading about his collection in a mid 90's issue of Top Gear magazine, the room full of rainbow coloured Mercedes sticks in my mind as well as that massive Dodge although I'm sure that was in the desert at the time.

Lord Sterling Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Man, these Arabs, where the bloody 'ell did it go wrong for me then? Mind you, I guess I can claim the title of "The Autoshite Sheikh"? Purveyor of some miserable Rover 800s and a rusty Merc? I remember some of his collections, I saw them on some 90s Clarkson fronted programme. Junkman, Sigmund Fraud and fred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Trig, I was just thinking about that article. The story of the rainbow Mercs I can't recall properly but it was good/mental. What's the car with the "PAL" badge...?? I thought they only existed in the pages of Jalopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The huge Dodge thing is powered by a few V8 engines bolted together, so it drive aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Quite mad but I'm so glad people like this exist! At least he hasn't gold-plated everything in sight which is what often happens in that bit of the world. Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardMoss Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 With the way the oil price has gone of late, they'll have less cash to spend. There are already signs here that the effects are being felt. That museum is just up the road a bit (well, 100 miles) on the other side of Abu Dhabi. They have a giant S3 Landrover outside the front gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I hope the Shieks don't start collecting shite or we'll all be up the creek.Well he's got two Indian built Fiats, an ARO Portaro and a Suzuki Jynmy golf buggy, he's made a start! Plus if Abu Dhabi ever hosts a Gay Pride event and petrol is still available in 2170 or whenever, they will have the perfect fleet of parade vehicles. I'm glad someone has saved a gullwing SEC, what was the name of the Swiss nutters who made them - Koenig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
