It belongs to Sheikh Hamad (One of the big big Sheikhs here) and just when I thought I'd seen everything, I certainly hadn't

The most unreal car collection you're ever likely to see anywhere - including the worlds biggest pickup (It also moves).

The most depressing thing about this place is, these cars are all absolutely fantastic, every single different model of mini, NY cabs, NY police car, but next to no-one knows about this place. It is basically a 30 minute drive from any civilization at all, and is surrounded by desert, desert and erm, desert.



More coming as I upload them...

Looks insane, some mad stuff there!

What was the rainbow stuff all about, was the owner a raging homo, or is it just something he got into?

He's known as the Rainbow Sheikh - Why exactly I don't know, and couldn't possibly comment(!), but he also has a merc of every colour of the rainbow (Which will be coming up, if they're not already in amongst them above!)

Aye, it has something inside like that. The door was locked so we couldn't get in, but one of my other mates wants to go down there on Monday to have a look at the place and the guy said theres some maintenance work going on to it on Monday, so if I go I'll be able to have a look in. Camera will be at the ready

IIRC, the globe is a trailer that the huge pickup tows around. Story goes that he loved the little pickup so much he made a massive version

Inside the Globe is all gold too, basically a big crazy caravan.

He is one of the royal family who rule Abu Dhabi, the Al Nahyans. Abu Dhabi has 98 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

They're not going to be short of cash at the end of each month.

Ah, I remember this fella now. He's called the rainbow sheikh.

Hence Mercedes Benz commissioning a complete set of S Classes in every shade of the rainbow as a present for him to celebrate his birthday or wedding or similar a few years ago.

They did so because he was such a good customer and had always bought Mercs in silly quantities like a nutter.
