    I wonder if the toilets use water like mine do. I find the thought of flushing with 10W30 too repulsive...

    If I recall, that hotel had previously single handedly bought nearly a years supply of Silver Sereph's from RR. Their one purchase did much to help RR sell, well, any cars at all. I guess they realized E65s were cheaper.

    Sort of. As much the 750iL is the same car as the Silver Sereph. Drivetrain and electronics use a similar design and layout.

    that place somehow seems to make the burj al arab seem small, at least the picture of this hotel at night all lighted up

    I actually like burj al arab. Expect for the over-excess of gold, I find the Arab style cool.
