Title: Sultan of Brunei

Just a select few from his incredible collection... http://jalopnik.com/379855/a-garage-fit-for-a-king-the-best-of-the-sultan-of-bruneis-amazing-car-collection   (http://jalopnik.com/379855/a-garage-fit-for-a-king-the-best-of-the-sultan-of-bruneis-amazing-car-collection).  Gee I could go a 456 wagon as a towcar.

A few years ago I was living in the same building as a guy who used to be one (of three!) of the Sultan's car buyers.  Yep, he employs three guys just to buy cars for him.  One night, over a few cones, I was trying to guess any supercars which the Sultan had never owned, don't think I managed it from (very bad) memory.  I was sure I had him stumped when I remembered the Dauer 962, but he just replied, "he had 3 of those when I was there".  This same bloke had an engine from a Mclaren F1 (yes, a BMW engine) which he'd acquired somehow through his contacts, stored overseas somewhere and which he planned installing in an 850CSi.
