Re: [MBZ] Looks like a beaver!

2005-08-02 Thread Rich Thomas 
The head dude of the United Arab Emirates, died last November, had 18 
Maybachs in his fleet.  He liked cars.  Used to go blasting around the 
desert in one of those Lamborghini 4x4s (LM400?) and it would drive his 
people crazy as they could not keep up in whatever they were driving.  
His personal aircraft was a 747, had a 777 and a 757 (I think) for the 
staff to follow in when he travelled. 


Fuel economy was not an issue for him.

That is sort of a non sequitur, but interesting facts.

Looks like one of those mega-uglee Lexus convertibles, after one too many
facelifts. 

Sort of Joan Rivers in black from 30 feet.
