last year I was thinking of joining a project in USA to connect these kinds of radio to the internet, people there tried to convince me to do so by telling me that it was a hoppy of king hussain and that they know people from America and all over the world who had chatted with king hussain and how much were happy that , and when I couldn't work with them they again sent me a letter, with a note at the bottom : king hussain used to like this...:p

Interesting. I wonder how much they expect to raise from proceeds........is it a perpetual exhibit? Maybe they should do a Princess Diana and auction some off for charitable causes....


Was the "love bug"--the Volkswagen KH/QN drove around Minnesota while he was at Mayo on display....he insisted it be shipped home....wonder where it is now.

I was in Jordan recently and I went to a public exhibit of King Hussein's car collection. It was shocking and baffling, the hundreds of rare and priceless cars and motorcylces. Millions and Millions of dollars worth of vehicles were in there. I recall a couple of Lambourghini's, dozens of cars from all eras, all models, colours, some had very interesting past owners, too. Some signs stated that in the case of some they were gifts, mostly from Princes of Gulf States. Plus there were the cars used on state occasions (like Hamzah's wedding) in addition to private vehicles and also little toy cars used by the Princes when they were little. I was actually quite shocked that they were put on display, because it shows just how much money was spent on frivilous things, like all those cars. It made me outraged, and I can just imagine what the average Jordanian might feel about it. I don't see how any royal family could justify the waste of money that was evident in that exhibit. And just to think that was only a fraction of the overall collection.

In terms of who owns them, I remember seeing signs posted saying something to the extent of "Prince Hamzah has graciously loaned this motorcylce for the exhibit", but that was only on a few of the items. I think it is all owned by King Abdullah. What his point was to have such an exhibit, I don't know.... was it to initimidate people by a show of his wealth and power? Does he actually believe that it is some sort of display of Jordan's History? Or was it just a pointless move that will later back-fire on him? Who knows.... but in terms of me, I was impressed by the beauty of the cars, but not by the people who bought them.... made me think a bit less of the royal family. I just cannot justify that spending.

Gee,what a pitty,missed it.Didn't know KH liked Sabah,I know he loved Fairouz,gave her awards.At his wedding to QD,he brought Farid Al Atrash,I have a rare cassett of the wedding where Farid sang to them and then said "Long live KH,long live QD,long live QZ!" His taste in music is amazing,wonder if he likes Um Kulthoum,she's my fave.

He was so open to so many things--including music. While introducing Noor to his favorites, she introduced him to American rock and roll and country music. Apparently, she used it to pump her energy levels up before engagements.
