Default Ukraine- Champion In Maybach Sales

Makes you think ey? Champion in Maybach sales. It costs over 4.5million hryven in Ukraine. Exchange rate being 1$US=5.3hrv




Here is an altavista translation:

Sensational information sounded at the recent conference of the producers of the machines of upper class in Stuttgart in the discharge of auto- #1 in the world Maybach. By the champion of peace of a quantity of purchases from 24 October, 2003, through 12 April, 2004, proved to be the Ukraine, which purchased within the period indicated 12 automobiles o Let us note that in our country its cost composes order 4,5 mln. grn. the second place occupied Italy, far behind proved to be such countries as Germany, France. In this case representatives BMW stated that they will urgently reexamine strategy of sale of automobiles into the Ukraine. The representative of our country, who was located in THE USA, all approached with the positive emotions. Thus, to joke with respect to the Ukraine no one was taken, they joked only to the calculation of Italy. When the discussion turned to Ukraine - began heavy silence, and people moved aside. This again proved that the Ukraine is the sufficiently original country of the European continent.

Err... I have no clue what that translation was trying to tellme. But Judging from the title of this topic I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that they sold 12 Maybachs?

And that they were all probably bought with dirty mafia money.

It seems rather odd that one of the struggling countries in eastern europe has the most Maybach sales.

I guess that's capitalism at work - you would think Mercedes would be more selective as to which criminals bought their cars... hehe

In Massachussetts we have a whole lot of Enzo's, with 15, and we also have 3 Mclaren F1's and one of only five Mclaren F1 LM! I have spotted 3 maybachs so far, all with connecticut plates. 2 where identical 57's in silver and grey, (both of flat-bed trucks), and the other was a 57 silver and maroon one. Kool car. Good job to Ukraine for officially being the tackiest country in the world
