W212 estate Spotted in Vladimir, Russia!

[bpsorrel]

Spotted a Germen registered W212 Estate today in Vladimir! A black one, debadged, but not an AMG or anything like that. Looked VERY nice! Maybe it's being tested for durability on Russian roads! LOL!!

In a couple of years I can see one of these appearing in my drive...

This is my last couple of days in Russia now, so normal attention will be applied from the 8th!

From a car oint of view, it's been great seeing so many models not available in the UK, many I've photographed and when I get a spare moment at home, I'll sort through and download a few.

For W124 lovers, THIS is the place! I've never seen so many and in such nice condition. Must be the fact that despite the very cold and snowy winters, the atmosphere here is not damp and corrosive.

Boss, come here for your next 140! Plenty, mostly S600s and in good condition, although almost all have blacked out glass, of course!

OK, time to go, see you all on my UK ip in a few days!!

ps- Decided on 18" Mandrus Milleniums for my S211 - hope they look as good as my shoddy, quick photoshop effort makes them look! LOL!! Check out the before and after here....

RUSSIA JOKES
Risk

American style of risk:
Racing in cars. One out of ten cars has a bad engine.
Risk - a la France:
Unprotected sex with a group of women. One out of ten women in the group has AIDS.
Russian style:
Telling political joke to a group of 10 people, one of whom is an informer.
Mercedes 600SEL

A New Russian comes into a car dealership and asks for a silver Mercedes 600SEL. The confused seller asks him:
- Excuse me, sir, but didn't you buy exactly same car three days ago?
- I sure did, - reports the New Russian, - But in that one the ashtray is filled up already!!!
The lady is alive

A drunk Russian tries to throw a lady from the window. She opposed.
The crowd shouts, - Stop it, man! The lady is alive.
- This is not a lady, this is my mother-in-law, replies the guy.
The crowd shouts, - Wow!!! Look... she even resists!?
Horizon

- The communist ideal is already on the horizon.
- Horizon!? What IS a horizon?
- It's an imaginary line where the sky comes together with the earth; it moves off when you try to get closer.
Get lost

A New Russian's son approaches a gorgeous lady in a lobby of five-star Metropol hotel.
- Mind a stroll? - he volunteers.
- Well, I bet your car ain't a Volvo, - she replies.
- Nope, it is not, - he confides.
- And you do not own even an average size bank, - she continues.
- Nope, - he admits again.
- And you don't have a three-storey house in Old Arbat, - she concludes. He agrees again.
- Then get lost, miser! The lady leaves, and the chap stands in distressed puzzlement.
- I can trade my Saab 900 for a Volvo, - he muses to himself, - and I can split my financial trust into a chain of average-size banks, but I obviously can't talk my father into demolishing the top three floors of our Old Arbat residence...
"Rabinowich," a friend asked, "do you read communist newspapers?"
"Sure I do!" he responded. "How else could I learn what a happy life I lead?"
A 15 minutes speech

Brezhnev rebukes his speech-writer: "Hey!? I asked you for a 15 minutes speech, but you made it one hour."
"No, sir, it was written exactly for 15 min - you just read all four copies."
Life sux

An New Russian meets an old Russian. The old Russian asks:
- How are you these days, Vasya?
- Well, life sux, - the NR replies, - I'm so tired of the Bahamas, and of those French restaurants, and those thousand-dollar-a-night whores... Really wears me up... Wha'bout you, old buddy?
- Imagine, I haven't been eating anything for three days already, - the old Russian says in a weak voice.
- Well, man, - says the New Russian, - I've had this sort of problem. You have to force yourself!
A chairman asked Rabinowich why he skipped the last Party meeting.
- "I didn't know that meeting supposed to be the last one," he answered with a grin of surprise.
Is it true that under communism people could order food by phone?
- Yes, but the delivery was by TV.
In tax police:

- Where did you get money to buy MERCEDES?
- I sold my FORD, added little bit money and bought it.
- Where did you get money to buy FORD?
- I sold my LADA, added little bit money and bought it.
- Where did you get money to buy LADA?
- I already have been in prison for that.
In the Russian army:

Rule 1. The officer is always right.
Rule 2. If the officer is not right, see Rule 1.
English

A New Russian in a duty free shop: "Do you speak English?"
Seller answers: "Yes, I do!"
New Russian: Marlboro!
