http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/s...egaso-edition/



and with regard to the thing about license plates...having a lower number does not necessarily make you "closer to sheikh mohammed" it's a bit more complicated than that. you can buy 2 digit plates...but not single digit plates. those all belong to sheikhs. the owner of this veyron, however, is an exception...he apparently offered 55 million dirhams for the plates C 1 - 12 to all the emirates, and the only emirate which accepted the offer was fujairah. hence the plate fujairah, C 1. and he is not a sheikh...he is a wealthy russian man who lives in burj al arab (the 7 star hotel) and has - in my opinion - the best car collection on earth...
55,000,000.00 AED = 14,977,805.62 USD

Almost $15 million for a license plate is absolutely

I plan to have the money when they come out with the Bugatti 24.6 (LOL) special designer edition. If I keep increasing money at this rate I will... but to be honest there was alot of luck and I don't think I will keep up this rapid incline.

All the arab guy has probably done is be part of a family who owns some oils fields... Gee well done! But at least he knows a great deal when he sees one ...

Clearly the rusky has no concept of the value of money ... and has not had to work one moment for that $15Mio what-so-ever... poor mother russia she has really been taken to the cleaners by these bums.

I say kudos to the guy who sold the plate ...... he must still be laughing his ar$e off about that deal.

The most disturbing thing about this rusky over bidding is its happening everywhere. I have heard first hand of this in London where a rusky aproached a colleague of mine and bid him 2x what his house was worth just so he could live next to his buddy... funny thing is had he bid 1.25 x he would have got it but he bid 2x ...

EXACTLY- In the middle east region, Having a lower digit plate is a sign of prestige. Its only obtained by either a high ranking politician or one filthy rich S.O.B. Therefore it resembles superiority in a way.
