So basically it is cheaper to bulletproof a car that was made for the government in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is always a debate on German TV about what car any new head of state is driving. It is eather VW, BMW, Audi or Mercedes, depending on the news from those manufacturers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-77370198926542048192008-09-26T08:34:00.000-07:002008-09-26T08:34:00.000-07:00Karl,Thanks.

Took 'Caddys' for the vans that Volkswagen sells in Europe, not Cadillacs. Pathetic, I know. Sorry, should've read the whole story before performing as the good Will Hunting.<BR/>You did amazing job, mate! Really blew my head off.<BR/><BR/>Cheers from Bulgaria<BR/><BR/>P.S. Thought you might find this interesting. Few pics from an auction here last month - http://zar.bg/view_photo_topic.php?photo_topic_id=41&photo_id=&. Over 20 state limousines from the Soviet era were sold for 250 000 euro or something, although the secret services chose to keep the real gem, former bulgarian dictator Todor Zhivkov's Mercedes-Benz 600 Pulmann Landaulet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-3717809913389802582008-08-05T07:54:00.000-07:002008-08-05T07:54:00.000-07:00Sorry, mate, I think you and I both did the math w...Sorry, mate, I think you and I both did the math wrong.
