it's all right, you are up to date to of next it's a rev asking why i'll dania has more mercedes benz is per capita than anywhere else in the world. that's after a short break section for that. for me, the team here, thanks for watching the dream of revolution. it dictates as the most uh was supposed to have that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world. tens of thousands of left us from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other and so many things were suddenly imaginable. but there are the most efficient and make it

a dream of revolution. thoughts july 20th dw, the 434445 time is up. now there's one under stream or serious just at this instant section here, i traveled to alabama and looked high and low for answers as to why it has more me see defense as per capita than anywhere else. the legend has it that's on the whole thing has proclivity form a seat is began in the ninety's often to come in. this blog crumbled as i discovered that was only half the story. some secrets have just been very well kept

or restaurants for clues that might explain albania is mislead, his obsession. the, what's the place to start? then the capital, to run it home to around $500000.00 people. the and boasting and this, tory is mercy, does clubs, season or day. i'm madly in love with the w $124.00 produce between the mid eighties and the end of the ninety's and eventually marketed as the eclipse. the slick old machines that look brand new tricks out in every respect and with more than a few special features. the

how does it work if you, if you do the traffic moves? no, no, no. and is it possible a good there are 3 such clubs and no dania with well over a 100 members who travel to meet from all over the country the why this model because it looks cool with yeah, it looks cool then uh its uh more usable here in the bank of that it's made just for for fun. elton tells me these carts are usually and garages but went off. they shined right. classical thing. i got these. yeah. so they're covered and vaseline to make sure the tires don't look, use almost classical car. so the thing is to live with the club members on the streets. it's really hard to guess how many bends this the on to run up? so i decided to check for myself,

found making 10 minute street township starting now. okay. one hour on lucky. 2345. uh, there's 3 in a row here. lasers driving parts one year old. there's a mile red. 4040. what is the 42 guns? 43444546. that's the one from 48. the number of flights of time is up now is 103 minutes. it's just that this is a section here. yeah, we're actually trying to figure out exactly how many must see this car's really ply the streets of all day. so i visit the vehicle registration department in to run up . they definitely know the numbers. i'm often they are approximately 740000 registered vehicles in albany of which 212000 are benches in terms of

percentage that's approximately 29 to 30 percent, which is the share of that mercedes benz has in the albany and car market around every 3rd car on albanian streets is in mesquite as low as the 2nd pound folded in 10 years. but our been says this large market share has been in part because to come to the air pollution. albania has been the import of cars that are older than 10 years, and don't meet your 4 standards. but with so many mercy, this is daunting old daniel streets. i also myself with all began let's deep dive into albanian history to a time when dictator and the whole general of the country and the best place to explore a communist history in toronto is the central block. but it's not home to entertainment, tourism, of course, night left was backed on the premises of and the gang would only vary 2

people knew it is actually that his favorite goes to the car was the german class. the albanians were banned from using private cars. and the hubs, i wanted to be seen as a man of the people, which we now know was an elaborate mess. great. is the luxury german saloon which no longer runs is now park and an old garage in toronto . i'm meeting with me that pony today, which is over one of the dictators, best kept secrets the this is original like this mercy, the 600 or w 100 type. pullman was manufactured in 1966 and was custom made and personalized for hutcher. the price spec done is equivalent to around $200000.00. your us today was the 2. it's important and it would be great if there was

a museum for such vehicles for vehicles that belong to the personalities of the past. it would also be beneficial in terms of maintaining the machines because without proper cars storage, the condition of such cars simply deteriorates from their hodge. only covered about 7000 kilometers in the car in 17 years, mostly on trips out of town, until this occasion spots. after all this mercy, this was a state secret for doors. in fact, he didn't use the car very much because he was smart. i knew that it was too stark a contrast to the lives of the people who were at the time, extremely poor. they would notice that's why he always walked from his villa to his office. and this car was hardly ever seen by the common people at the time to call to get a full picture,

we need to look at the history. i'll solve danielle after world war 2 and the hotel ruled socialist albania, for 40 years, leading his people with an iron fist and isolating the country from his allies. he broke with his comrades and moscow and done with communist china after the death of chapman months. later, the increasing the paranoid dictator covered albania, with hundreds of thousands of bunkers. many people ended up in labor camps, and del banyon suffered extreme poverty and hunger under his leadership. the, there's a lot of history in the car to say the least. how does it for us as i've been, is back. it's an unusual feeling some endorsed you when you know that you're sitting exactly where a former head of state, a dictator sat. that's a bit strange. of course. it will dismiss this, luxury car was not the only one. use biologist,

party and albania. they bought 7 receipt has been so set the time, all 280 s seals plot. so i'll just 600. sit down. i wonder if this car could be the very 1st proceed as an all day. now a let me take you. i think this car is the 1st point of reference for albanians and the mercedes benz brand, from the looks to the idea that it was used by the farmers dictator and was considered the most important and safest and most valuable car. if the time of course it was an absolutely secret car until the ninety's. so if you look for the beginnings of mercedes in albany and i think the origins are right here. now that i tracked down a small but important piece of the puzzle i carried on my quest to find out exactly why the treat pointed star roots all day in, in streets in order to leave to run

out, i need to get myself a car which is how i came into contact with almost the mainly run so it can be seen as cars and says the brand to sell populate here. because the roads where demanding and used to be particularly bad. mercedes fits perfectly without being in roads. it's suitable for both off road and asked by mercedes a suitable for all road surface sense and albania. we for him, german cars, a good business, the car, we run cost 80 years a day, but already has over 200000 kilometers on the clock. so it's long since paid for it, so no wonder how much relies on receipt as but where does it get them from? from dusseldorf. s a cologne often is very good. i. this is

a good and you drove yourself? yeah. well, yeah. so 2200 kilometers, those adults, albania, again, last year you know, the roads between germany and albania, better than here, between toronto and surround to our next stop is near the seaside resort of doors with its picturesque beaches and albanians main port. i'm . i mean, the 22 year old who loves vintage cars and is a mechanic and a place that some old damian's call them or see to city ship together, which is far the hot sun. he runs of worship. only 4 cars with a star. from what's here is the car. 19. 87. well, 19. 87. the motor looks good. they're 2.5 years. yeah. uh huh. and the

spare parts waiting to be put to use in the next class. the car restoration and right next door is the workshop where they run the family business business. the good place here. so all the tool assembly here, you have all the like this. that's like a treasure here for me as soon as possible, and it's almost 40 years of experience as a mechanic. and he let his son follow in his footsteps. and at an early age, he's convinced that it's the quality of german cars, which made the brand. so popular in albania. if you look at that symbol, the messages i can drive around the world 3 times and i'm still a bins. otherwise there's no such thing as you drive around the world 3 times and everything is still there. and if the cars break down of them says it's always cheap to repair, to, to can help any more cheaper than other cars that have been

fine. yeah. but you know, plus dollar categories easy to maintain and robust, especially on demanding roads. these were ones to main arguments for buying mosquitoes enough in yet, but that's also changing in the country, so we drive to lake, well, which one of your oldest and deepest lakes, and live with people survive on tourism and fishing. it's now almost a luxury to drive such big cars because they can't afford the less unless they tell the the progress cool. some of the goals where there was no money or close to what they do more. thank you for watching the those that you got bored is

what who is moving to to do is discuss it. scores made is the most while they say it to me it sooner but as long as the wheels of their benches still turn, they say they'll stick with them. the german brand still makes them proud and happy . anteriano for w $124.00 a fence. it's not so much about the money as it is about the details. dash, as he calls himself, listen to you. okay. but brings his car back to his native albania, to have it restored. because here they still take care of all costs like use they know these cars that they pay attention to detail when they deal with these cars every day in the u. k. they don't want to see these cars anymore. lines and old codger, scrap it to find somebody that still got the enthusiasm that's impossible over there. now all you get these people to do the job for

a living and these just what and my impression of to this trip. certainly there are still many and all day and yet we're crazy about the german cars. but more and more people are turning away from them and looking for alternatives and cheapest solutions. and so the image on albanian rhodes that has been shaped by mosquitoes until now is likely to change to the, to the points strong opinions, clear positions. international perspective. germany is leaving industry looks to be losing speed as it's formerly venerable carmakers are overtaken by electric vehicles made in china or terrace. the answer find to hum to the point to the point.
