It’s Dhoni’s birthday. He’s 44 now. Retired from cricket, still occasionally haunting IPL dressing rooms like a well-conditioned ghost, and spending his free time exactly how any ex-captain with god-tier self-control and post-retirement boredom would: amassing a fleet of extremely loud, wildly impractical, gloriously excessive machines.
His collection isn’t subtle. It’s not tasteful. It’s a full-throttle mix of military surplus, Italian thoroughbreds, vintage Americana, electric guilt complexes, and bikes that sound like the end of days. You don’t collect this kind of stuff unless you’ve made peace with the fact that no human experience will ever match winning the World Cup at home in 2011. So you chase speed. You chase torque. You chase noise.
Let’s walk through every outrageous piece of metal parked in the temple of horsepower he calls a garage.
Ferrari 599 GTO
