uday's porsches smoked!
Headlines - from www.pistonheads.com June 6,2003
UP IN SMOKE Friday 6th June One of Uday Hussein's garages went up in smoke - but what about the other 1250 cars?! Saddam Hussein's son Uday was well known for his passion for cars. Before he and his father were forced to flee Iraq it's reported that Uday torched his car collection rather than let anyone else lay their hands on it. A hanger of containing over fifty cars was found during the invasion of Iraq. All had been burnt out including half a dozen 911s. That wasn't the whole story though. Some reports last year suggested he had a fleet of 1300 vehicles, including Rolls Royces, Ferraris. 160 of these were believed to have been taken from Kuwait when Iraq invaded. Included in the remains was the red 911 Cabrio that Uday had been travelling in when there was an assassination attempt in 1996. It was this attack that left him walking with a stick. Burnt out cars weren't a novelty to Uday though. His father once had Uday's garage of just 34 cars burnt out to punish him. |

It's hard to even imagine what life was like over there for the last 40(?) years, Uday was a completely psychopathic criminal in a country that his father owned. If he saw something that he liked, be it a car, house or a woman, he simply took it. If anyone made a peep, he could shoot them on the spot or beat them to death with a club, depending on his mood. Oh yeah, and they were multi-billionaires.
Kind of makes the car story 'ho-hum', but still a waste of good sports cars.

They should bury Uday in a Yugo.
