    How many Ferraris with Sabahan plate numbers are there? (Part 2)

    February 6th, 2008

    UPDATE 19th February 2008:

    As requested by the apparent owner of the car, I have removed all references to the plate number.

    Update on my sighting of a Ferrari F430 with Sabahan number plate on 25th January.

    I saw it again in Lido on the morning of 2nd February. Driver looks to be thirtysomething, average-looking Chinese male with glasses.

    A little bird informed that:

    The Ferrari above belongs to the son of one Datuk Pang of Sandakan. Datuk Pang was the owner of Terus Hidup Plantation, a palm oil plantation in Kinabatangan, which he has sold for between RM80 and RM100 million.

    But a mere Ferrari pales in comparison with a private jet costing RM18-20 million, belonging to Datuk Andrew Lim (Sandakan too). Of course, he too owns at least one supercar (either a Lamborghini or a Ferrari).

    There’s a timber boss in Tawau who owns a Lamborghini

    There are at least 3 Lamborghinis and 5 Ferraris in Sabah, with Sabahan number plates. The owners include Datuk Andrew Lim, his brother Datuk Peter Lim and their business associate Michael Chia. All are from Sandakan and involved in the timber business.

    Hmm… with even its steering rack costing a fortune, I doubt whether it will ever be practical getting a Ferrari for oneself.

    Yupp, but as I said before, I think having a Ferrari is more than anything a trophy to be paraded around.

    I think in this day and age, not only timber and palm oil tycoons can buy supercars, even bloggers can do so ;-)

    I am not really into gambling, last year I didn’t buy any number at all. This year I bought one, and kena already ;-)

    Regarding the stone, I passed by that stone a few yrs ago on a trip to Sipitang, but cannot stop by the roadside to see it. You know why? Because with us in the car were two Franciscan nuns, aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Hmmmmmmm. Vrrrrrooooooom-vrrrrooooooooooom. Sounds like fun, trading a patch of virgin forest for a red Ferrari. Who handled the AP, do you know? One of Kak Pidah’s cronies?
