Sultan of Brunei McLarens

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!

He is just filthy rich that man!

Hopeless

Re: Sultan of Brunei McLarens

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

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.

Re: Sultan of Brunei McLarens

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.

There is no way anyone can make me belive he actually uses all of those McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc.

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!

Are you saying they never owned the Black GT long tail, or just that they are no longer in possession of it??

Also, who does own it if its not he BRF?

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

Re: Sultan of Brunei McLarens

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?
