CELEBRITY RIDES
What would you buy if you had all the money in the world? A fancy car? Yeah. That's what we figured. Celebrities worldwide always buy themselves a fancy set of wheels the minute they 'arrive' in hi-society. Cars, bikes, boats and even airplanes… the hotshots have them all. You already envy them for their looks and their lavish lifestyles; now drool over their mean machines.

Bikes have fascinated John Abraham since the age of 10. His first bike was the legendary RD 350. He has owned a Suzuki Hayabusa, the fastest and many say the best road bike in the world. He has also owned the "Black Lady", the Kawasaki Ninja ZXR. He is currently ripping around on the Yamaha super bike, the R1, 1000 cc. His bikes are certainly as hot as his bod.

Which is better, six sixes in a row or a Porsche 911. It's hard to say isn't it? Yuvraj Singh has both to his name. He was awarded the car for his batting feat of six sixes in the Twenty20 match against England. The 911 is considered the fifth greatest car of all time, and it is the crowning glory of the Porsche Company. Its price ranges from 60 lakh to 1 crore and it rips to speeds of about 270 Kmph. And like its tagline… Porsche 911, Respect required.

He plays macho man on screen, and apparently believes in keeping that image real life too. A Hummer, some say is the best example of 'rugged' in cars, and actor Suniel Shetty has one of them. The monster is huge, standing 70 inches off the ground and weighing a massive 3000 kilos.

David Beckham. The footballer with a car collection beyond par. If the car looks like a million bucks, he's gotta buy it after all that's just a month's salary. Big deal. The list begins with the Porsche 911 (993) Turbo. Legend has it, this is where Posh and Becks first hit it off. Then comes the Hummer H2. Next up is the Ferrari 550 Maranello. It has everything you want, a large bonnet and a 5.5-litre V12 engine. The Bentley Continental GT also rests majestically in this garage. The Aston Martin DB7 stands out in his collection because of 'David Beckham, number 7'. There wasn't a more fitting car for the English midfielder in his Manchester days. It also helped that it looked a million dollars and with the 6.0-litre V12 engine, sounded awesome.These are but a few of the cars he owns and 
Finally, here is something to deny you sleep tonight, the most hated and loved judge on the American Idol Show, Simon Cowell recently gifted himself a Bugatti Veyron. This baby is the fastest car in the world, looks like a dream come true and costs a cool one million dollars.

Sachin Tendulkar has many cars. There's even a Fiat Palio in his garage, and it keeps company with the Mercedes Benz C36 and the awesome Mercedes Benz 600 SL, a car that has a V12 engine and goes from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds. The Mumbai-Pune express highway is where the master blaster drives his babies, especially his hot Ferrari. Since he is a huge Formula 1 fan, the race cars are what he dreams of driving.

Amitabh Bachchan has luxury cars in spades. He has a Rolls Royce, two BMWs, a Lexus and three Mercedes-Benz. But what's really worth mentioning is his 45 lakh refitted Ashok Leyland medium range bus. This beauty, which looks nothing like a bus has all the plush interiors of a private jet, a home theatre system, a music system, laptops, even a toilet. The bus is for the actor to relax between shots. Custom designed by DC designs, the bus impressed him so much he has ordered a second one for his son Abhishek.

What does Sanjay Dutt do that is not larger than life? So it is with his cars. He owns the Lexus LX 470, a super luxury SUV. It has a V8 engine and is very smooth, very beautiful. He has also owned the Mercedes-Benz 3 series, which he wrecked, and a Toyota Land Cruiser, with its 5-litre engine by the way. He also owns the Mercedes S 350, and a Porsche. The bad boy fulfilled a dream by recently purchasing a Ferrari 360, at a whopping 1 crore, including custom duties of 50 lakh. He even has a 1600 cc Harley Davidson tucked away somewhere. But they say dreams are insatiable and so the latest buzz is that he is now dreaming about purchasing a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest road car in the world.

The first on the list has to be legendary designer Ralph Lauren. He owns so many mind blowing cars that museums borrow them from him for car shows.
Some of his cars are:- 1929 Blower Bentley: the model chosen by writer Ian Fleming for James Bond in his early novels. 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe: one of only three built. 1950 Jaguar XK120 Alloy Roadster: popular with Hollywood stars such as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder.
- 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO: one of the rarest Ferraris ever made.
Memories must be sweet for the world's best F1 driver, Michael Schumacher. It is rumoured that he still has his old Fiat 500, tucked away somewhere. But when he is not feeling too nostalgic, he can always drive his Ferrari Enzo, a rare beauty. It is the most direct crossover from track to road and only 300 of the divas exist. He used to own the Bugatti EB110SS, a super car that could go up 350 Kmph, that used a chassis made by an aircraft company and that has a see-through plastic bonnet so you could see the V12 engine perform. The Ford Escort Cosworth also figures on this boy's list, an odd choice actually.

Arguably the most respected and powerful man in the Rap music world, Snoop Dogg oddly does not collect big showroom pieces or trophy cars. All the cars he owns are for the road, and meant to be driven. Snoop's vehicles vary in style, size, pump and dump, and are all reflections of his personal style. From the '69 Buick Riviera to his green '74 Cadillac. But if he had to pick one car as his favourite, it would have to be his '67 Pontiac Parisienne convertible, which sports a gold and purple L.A. Lakers paint job and the hood is signed by various team members including the "Big Diesel" himself, Shaquille O'Neal.
He is one of America's funniest men, but there is nothing funny about his cars. Jay Leno is a serious car enthusiast with over 50 cars in his three garages. His collection is as breathless as it gets. Here are a few that deserve special mention. He owns a bright yellow 1913 Mercer Raceabout, complete with monocle windshield, there's a Turbo R Bentley and a pair of mildly modified Dodge Vipers, plus a stealth car; a souped-up Renault LeCar with a Ford SHO motor and nitrous setup. The real kick is the 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II with its 1,000 HP Merlin V-12. However, he seems to like them all, old, new and everything in between. He is capable of starting and running even ancient machinery, like his two Stanley Steamers, which require a delicate combination of priming, heating and lighting, like starting up an old-fashioned furnace. Nevertheless, he gets it done.Finally, here is something to deny you sleep tonight, the most hated and loved judge on the American Idol Show, Simon Cowell recently gifted himself a Bugatti Veyron. This baby is the fastest car in the world, looks like a dream come true and costs a cool one million dollars.
