No, it isn't the full list. Otherwise you would be reading for a couple of hours.

I read here somewhere that the cars are stored in an airconditioned space. Don't think however that the cars are well taken care of. Most of the cars have never had any maintenance. The whole family uses cars from the collection, but don't bother to get the oil checked etc. When they run out of petrol they just take another car in a different colour. Cars with flat tyres are just parked and never looked at again. Some of the world's most exclusive and sometimes unique cars are sitting in the garage gathering dust. No one cares to clean them after they've been used as well. It's pretty sad.

I was thinking the same thing, but after looking at Johns post 'frankfurt 2003 pics' it seems as if there is one now!

Prince Jeffri had a record of spending over US 400,000 dollars a day for a record of 8 years. I'm not surprised if he has over 8,000 cars. He has got tons of one off bentleys, ferraris, porsches, mercedes....the list goes on and on....damn he's got more cars than Gran Turismo. Kazunori Yamauchi should test the cars at his palace, then we'll have ALL the coolest cars to drive in GT5!

Those are some impressive lists if not totally complete. I know Jay Leno has a ton of cars. I'm sure it's not near 5000, but it's well over 100 for sure. Nicholas Cage has a number of cars not mentioned as well. I know he has a Hennessey Viper as well as one of the actual Shelby Mustangs (Eleanor) from "Gone in 60 Seconds". The Sultan of Brunei has more cars than the rest of the world probably knows about. Over the years, they've collected many, many cars. Some have already been mentioned, but I recall reading that he's had multiple Ferraris and other cars ordered identical except for the colors so that he could drive a different color whenever he wanted to. It's true that he also own many one-off cocept vehicles as well as some cars built specifically for him such as a Ferrari 456 wagon and some others I can't think of right now. Must be nice to have all that money. It's also true about Brunei itself. It wouldn't be a bad place to live. I believe they even have an amusement park built for the people which is completely free in addition to all the other stuff. It's nice to see a ruler spread the wealth which oil can give rather than hoarding it all for himself and repressing the people.

Cool! I'v never seen this one before. I guess not a lot of people know of this car, cause to my knowledge the prototype name for the Enzo was the FX. That guy in Brunei sure knows how to spend his money.
