You thought Stephen Irelands Range Rover was bad?

Just found pics of this whilst posting other pics from google:


This Ladies & Gentleman is El Hadj Dioufs Cadillac Escalade, & it sits "proudly" along side his mirrored chrome SLR.

Words cannot describe what I thought when I seen this, firstly how on earth can it be road worthy with those lights? And then Why? I mean really why? Hes a wealthy/famous young man does he really need this Chav wagon to draw any more attention to him self, in these economic times this must really get up the nose of them less fortunate who happen to be in his vicinity...

Having a nice or even flash car is fine, but draping a car in gold is the ultimate OTT way of trying to express "extraordinary wealth", a little bit sick when you consider he earns more in a week than the majority of the fans (the people who pay his wages) do in a year ...

For those less knowledgeable about Football, this is the shy retiring footballer him self:

Is it 2008 all over again? That's been round for yonks.

El Hadj is a well known twonk, tours round Bolton with his entourage in a pair of DB9s, more money than sense, which in his case would be about £1.50.
Collects parking tickets for fun in Manchester city centre, generally a complete a.......

Oh, and a throughly nasty individual on the field to boot.

What a tit, proving once again that money wont but you class.

Would hate to follow that thing at night!

Sorry, Conjured up from Google images, I am pretty clued up with Footballers cars but I must have missed this first time round. Its by far the worst I have seen though so I had to give it a mention.

And hey its nearly 2011, im doing this for the new Pistonheads amongst us who may not have seen this bit of automotive art

A) Why on earth would you be clued up on footballers cars?
B) Why do you want to be clued up on what footballers drive?
C) Why do you think the general population on ph needs to know?

A) I am a football fan

B) I take an interest in what alot of public figures drive as I find it says alot about thier personality.

C) Stephen Irelands Range Rover sport gets mentioned everytime Pistonheads' mention bad taste/chavved up cars so I thought I would share this with those who hadnt seen?

That Escalade is truly awful!

And in five years time when his career is over and his £100,000 grand a week wage stops, and his management along with the taxman come knocking you will see these cars going for a song!!! Footballers and their money easily parted.

Feck sake DJC. The guy was only showing a picture of a horrid car. If he likes to follow footballers cars etc then it has nothing to do with you or i.

Ph's on here are becoming increasing annoying these days. Bang goes the simple web forums where we have a laugh and everyone has something constructive to say rather than constantly picking or looking for arguments.

Agreed. Not interested in a thread? Move on.

If that was a Range Rover I'd be wishing stabbings upon him.

Thankfully it's an Escalade, which as much as I like them, lend themselves far too well to this kind of abuse.
