The more i learn about this crazy car collection the more im glad they spent lavish money on cars and not say modern art! I believe several unique car manufacturers who faced hard times like Rolls Royce and Porsche needed the Sultan to stay in business as independents.For that alone we should all be eternally grateful!
As to my car it had 3k miles on it and was well cared for, when it came to this
country about 4 years ago.Now has 13k miles and is cared for even more!

Where the hell would you drive in Brunei? Matter of fact, where would he drive? He might as well just have the pictures of the cars.
The Porsche experience is back roads, motels and road food or else track days with your friends. The Sultan can't do either.

Yeah, I think the Sultan would be better off with a collection of UniMogs and MB G500s. I did see the Whatever of Dubai personally driving a G500 on television recently.
