When it comes to one of the most feared fast bowlers of all time, the name of Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar cannot be missed. He was known for scaring even the best of the batsmen. Now, we all know about his passion for cricket. However, recently the super-fast bowler was seen talking about his love for luxury cars, especially his Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. Akhtar, in a new video, has explained why he truly loves the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 and what other cars he has in his garage in Pakistan.
The video in which Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar shares his passion for the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 has been shared on YouTube by Wise Wheels on their channel. It starts off with the host mentioning that he has come to Rawalpindi, Pakistan, to meet the legendary bowler Shoaib Akhtar and check out his garage. Following this, the host enters Akhtar's home and meets him.
Following the introduction, the host immediately asks the bowler about the cars he keeps in Rawalpindi. To this, he mentions that he owns a Mercedes-Benz S450 Long Wheelbase and a Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. The host then asks him about the model year of the LC300, to which he mentions that it's either 2022 or 2023.
Moving on, the host asks him to give him a ride and interview in one of his cars. So the bowler decides to take out the Land Cruiser LC300. The host states that the LC300 suits Shoaib Akhtar's personality and that, too, finished in black, it looks even more fitting.
They then take their seats in the LC300 and go for a long drive around Rawalpindi. During the ride, Akhtar mentions that he does not like sports cars a lot. Rather, he loves luxury cars, and the LC300 is one of his all-time favorite SUVs. He states that despite the LC300 being a massive car, he still loves driving it due to the independent suspension and powerful engine.
Akhtar highlights that the cabin of this SUV is extremely luxurious and he keeps it well-maintained, as he loves sitting in a clean and luxurious car after hardcore training sessions. During the drive, he started talking about his stories of how he once gave a sugarcane juice vendor a ride in his Mercedes back in 1999.
He mentions that when he was coming up, he did not have money to eat after training. So he promised a sugarcane juice vendor in Rawalpindi to give him juice, and after he became famous, he would buy him a machine. Following this, he did manage to become very famous and earn a lot of money and eventually kept his word and gave the vendor a ride in a Mercedes-Benz and also gave him a machine.
In the video, Shoaib Akhtar mentions that before owning the Land Cruiser LC300, he used to own a Lexus SUV. The exact model has not been mentioned; however, he adds that the new LC300 is much better. Also, when asked about his favourite luxury car, Akhtar replied that Rolls-Royce is his favourite luxury automaker and he used to own a Phantom Drophead Coupe as well.
