Sultan of Brunei McLarensThorst13 05-20-2004, 09:25 AM I'm getting quite angry thinking about all those McLarens and wonderful Ferraris that's only left to rotten in his/his brothers car collection! :angryfire He is just filthy rich that man! Hopeless :screwy: :nono: :2cents: andybee 05-20-2004, 01:32 PM believe me they get used quite a bit ///M-power 05-20-2004, 03:58 PM Prove It Please! andybee 05-20-2004, 05:24 PM prove what? that they get used. Bit hard as I'm not in Brunei (one visit). For a while most of the mechanics, technicians were sent home after Jeffri was sent packing. However recentley things appear to have reverted back to the old Brunei way, maybe not to the same extent mercy_oz 05-20-2004, 09:47 PM What McLaren cars does he actually own, how many? is it four? Peloton25 05-20-2004, 10:18 PM Definitely more than four. The ones that are confirmed as belonging to the Brunei Royal Family are LMs 1 & 4, the pair of black ones. Then they also have either LM2 or LM5 as they also have one of the traditional orange LMs. They also own GTR #09R which was finished to appear exactly like the LeMans winning GTR #01R. Additionally, they own 54F1GT, the black F1 GT. On top of that, I believe they have a small number of standard F1s, but at least one of the ones that they did own #014 was sold from the collection in the past two years. mini magic may know more about the road cars they have as he's a big Sultan freak. >8^) ER mercy_oz 05-20-2004, 10:33 PM Is there anyway to see his collection? he is one lucky lucky dude. mini magic 05-21-2004, 09:56 AM its basically impossible to visit the collection. I know of only 1 person who has. The warehouses are surrounded by walls with glass shards on top. You have to leave your passport at the entrance and be escorted around by an elite soldier guy (ex-seal/SAS type). I've probably said to much already. I believe most of Jeffri's road cars are out, thats only a hunch. Hopefully i will know more soon. He does not own 54GT, if you don't believe me, whatever, maybe someone else may say something about it. Thorst13 05-21-2004, 11:51 AM There is no way anyone can make me belive he actually uses all of those McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc. :grinno: It's almost sickening thinking all of those mean machines only standing there most of the time! After all that was not why they were build in the first place! :nono: Peloton25 05-21-2004, 01:01 PM He does not own 54GT, if you don't believe me, whatever, maybe someone else may say something about it. Are you saying they never owned the Black GT long tail, or just that they are no longer in possession of it?? :confused: Also, who does own it if its not he BRF? >8^) ER jkbon 05-21-2004, 02:45 PM I've probably said to much already. My name is Bond, James "mini" Bond :rofl: Peloton25 05-21-2004, 03:01 PM James Bond? :confused: :grinno: Are you kidding me? :eek7: More like Inspector Gadget: http://www.timelesstrinkets.com/Other/Images/InspectorGadget3MagGlass.jpg This message will self destruct in 5 seconds... http://kids.singnet.com.sg/episode/media/timing.gif :lol2: >8^) ER Thorst13 05-21-2004, 03:10 PM [QUOTE=mini magic]You have to leave your passport at the entrance and be escorted around by an elite soldier guy (ex-seal/SAS type). Well, maybe since I'm a ex-Marinejeger (Norwegian "Navy seals") I can apply for a job there!?!? I promise not to tell any one about the black LM's :jump3: FireBball972 05-21-2004, 07:51 PM thats freakin sweet, what a lucky guy :grinno: McLaren Mike 05-21-2004, 10:41 PM Yeah he is pretty lucky, greedy and powerful. Peloton, you're sort of confirming that he owns 54F1GT, on what basis is this? Is it just an educated guess? -Mike:aus: mini magic 05-22-2004, 03:30 PM search ferrarichat, you may find something mentioned by another member here talking about the location of 54GT ;) Peloton25 05-22-2004, 05:45 PM Peloton, you're sort of confirming that he owns 54F1GT, on what basis is this? Is it just an educated guess? If I post an educated guess, or an assumption, then I will label it as such. In this case, I'm simply relaying info I received from a knowledgable source. I have another person in mind who might be able to confirm it as well, but to date I've never specifically asked them. >8^) ER Newton22 05-23-2004, 04:46 PM Definitely more than four.

XP1 LM is in the hands of McLaren Cars. Selldorff owns LM3 correct? Where's the other LM? jcsaleen 05-23-2004, 05:25 PM So let me get this straight, Brunei owns 3 LMs? XP1 LM is in the hands of McLaren Cars. Selldorff owns LM3 correct? Where's the other LM? The other lm is supposedly in Japan.. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
