Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of UAE is a bit of a Jeep guy (podcast interview?).. Here are some of his Jeeps.

He is a general automotive enthusiast and has a massive collection from antique to new, rare, and custom. You can check out some of them at www.enam.ae though they have removed a lot of images from their site, I guess they wanted to leave something to see while touring the museum. More pictures can be found by Googling UAE Car Museum.

I have seen a few of these rigs in person... I have to say must be nice to have the money to be able to build whatever is in your mind or dreams to build... Granted, I know he had them built, over putting in the work to build them himself... but still would be nice to have the money to be able to build your rig as you want

I think vehicles of this size or intricacy it would take quite some time to build one. And if you've got the money why spend 10 years doing it yourself. [emoji14] I'd say if I was rich I'd probably have some things built and build that super special rig myself over time. You know between jet rides and super model parties. Cause that's just how it works!

Yeah I guess that is true too... I think I'd still try to work on/build my own stuff as often/much as I could... but can't say I wouldn't spend a bit of change to have at least my dream care built for me...
