Nightrider ◊ 2011-11-02 19:23	Soviet leader.
DynaMike ◊ 2011-11-02 19:25	Also the German Eagle on the left flag, and (I think) Helmuth Schmidt just left of that flag.

No, neither Schmidt or any German chancellor, not even the government itself ever had owned a 600. Those, which were used for trolleying foreign guests (as in 1965 the 600 Landaulet for Lizzie: http://www.meinklassiker.com/image.php?type=paragraph_top&id=1573 ), were always owned by the Daimler Benz AG and loaned for that purpose. -- Last edit: 2011-11-02 22:34:21
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-02 22:34	A propos Brezhnev: the 450 SLC, totaled by himself, is well known and exists today -unrepaired- in an auto-museum (in Rigo, or?). But AFAIK it's not the 450 SLC, which he had smashed at his visit in Western Germany. This Benz hasn't survived not even half an our in Leonids totally drunken hands, until it was killed at a wall of dressed stones nearby his guesthouse.

Ingo ◊ 2011-11-02 23:09	Ah, o.k. But a 450 SLC he had crashed definetely with a besotted head (@chicomarx: just one grasp in the box. There shall be over 2000 terms in English for "being drunk", as I've read sometimes ) at a visit in Western Germany. Maybe Google knows, if in 1973 or in 1978. Wiki says 1973 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersberg_%28Siebengebirge%29 -- Last edit: 2011-11-02 23:15:11

Our actual political personnel is such a useless trash, that the people would prefer a nearly 93-year-old elder statesman than anything else, which creeps around.
