Our friend Roy Spencer over at Our SL discovered a few unique, partially finished Mercedes ready for shipment overseas. He recognized them as the "Argento" Mercedes, which you may have seen advertised in Hemmings earlier this year.

The Hemmings listing featured an artist's rendering of the nose of the car with very little information. Here's an excerpt of Roy's find:

Inspecting the script on the carbon fiber upper engine covers of each car revealed they were commissioned by the Royal Family of Brunei or more specifically, His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah (profile), and for some reason both projects had been abandoned. Perhaps the Sultan forgot he commissioned the cars! You see, he already owned over 4,000 other cars at the  time! He is likely THE most prolific collector of exotic automobiles in the world, with a penchant for commissioning the construction of whatever suits his whimsy. Researching the car buying habits of the Sultan reveals an astounding collection of cars numbering between 4,000 and 5,000! More including photos here at Our SL.

“I found the overcrowded trains in summer irksome, and felt tied down by having to follow the direction of tracks. This led me to conceive the idea of arranging my own transport….”

- Gottlieb Daimler, diary entry while traveling in Russia, 1881

Well Gottlieb, here's a path that doesn't follow the tracks!

Forbes frequently publishes lists, on about anything it seems, but their list of the "Sexiest Luxury Cars" by Dan Lienert is entertaining. You can find the story here on Forbes.com.
