A man arrives at the airport, suddenly run to him:

Superproof Europe: Saakashvili promised to raise Ukraine from his knees for 5 years. Included can turn into a leading European policy player. The European Union will not survive without Ukraine, and, in fact, Europe in debt to Ukrainians. Kiev can dictate its conditions.

At the beginning of the war, the Mercedes car came in the hands of the Austrian commander of General Nethek. Not a single battle led by the cavalry did not win, and his car used as a staff car, constantly brought bad news from the front. After the defeat of the array of general, at Valowo, Patevk was forced to resign. He retired to his estate, where he soon went crazy and died suddenly. At this time, one captain put on a luxurious limousine, which in 1915 she crashed into a military truck. When accidenting, the driver died, the captain himself and his two orders.
After the end of the war, the ill-fated car goes into the hands of the Military Commandant of Yugoslavia. In 1919, the car, turning over once again, kills the driver, and the commandant lost his right hand. On this military service The fatal car ended, and in 1923 it was sold to auction to one successful doctor.
However, two years did not pass, as the machine falls into another accident - on perfectly roven road She suddenly turned over, and the doctor died. At the same time, two peasants walking on the side of the sidelines were bitten.
Bloody trace behind the damned car stretches further. After the tragic death of the Eskulap, he changed four more owners, three of which also found their death in the accident, and the fourth committed suicide. In the future, under the wheels of this car, pedestrians, as well as one car mechanic, taking it after another repair. Her last owner, Tibor Hirschfield, returning from the wedding together with the bride and four of his friends, on full move Faced with a bus. All died.
The total number of victims of the car killer was just awful - 22 people! Now this car, after the reconstruction, is located in the museum of the city of Vienna. And these are some non-coordinate fell. Do not want to pay for the work done - and that's it. Trumps with your coolness, involvement in one "socio-political union". In general, radishes are natural ...
I just thought to dismiss, move to the capital. And here is the chef, when I came to him for the calculation, right and said:
- Your client? Is yours. Should they do we? One hundred pounds. So drive and knock the debt as you want. You will bring loot - I will pay how much it should be, but no - sorry.
I looked at myself in the mirror ... Sleeping Chang-Botan. The costume is cheap, with a tie of the film to the then fashion. Well, who is not what it is frightened - and will you seriously take? But there is nothing to do ... I sat down in my barn penny, yes she rolled his debtors to the office. And they quartered on the outskirts, near the factories. I arrived, I go to the reception room to the main thing that was interested in the subject of its presence. No, they say. Well, I answer it, I'll wait on the street, in the car.
I go out - and we think that I don't even know how he looks like. Only the name-patronymic and gave me. But come back, ask - insideous somehow. Walked to her kopeyushka. Sat down, waiting. Hour, two, three. So as not to be bored - the book grabbed, I read, yes on the bookmark periodically looking at the photo - the photo of my beautiful-worm-haired.
I put the car opposite the entrance to the building. My calculation is how it will go to what limousine is cool - so I am right to him and approach. No one, apart from the director of them in such a transport, cannot move.
Until the evening, it was worthwhile - no limousines arrived. In general, somehow empty in the parking lot, and no one comes from the building or goes out. Only the curtain at the windows of the receptionist sometimes kils.
The clock in 8 it became very dark - I think there is no point in waiting. District again is not the most calm - there is nothing to do here at night. He left home unsolon bumping.
The next day - exactly the same. I came - asked - I was sent - I went to the car - I sat until the evening. And again - silence, only birds tweet.
And on the third day, in the morning, our chef caught me. Wound to the office. Hands the envelope chubby. I recalculated - there is over what I was supposed to be, a large amount. I raise my eyes with a dumb question.
- paid, says. Today the money fell on the bill.
"And also, he said, called me on the pipe early in the morning their main:" You did not understand us, we do not want war. And we do not need to send the roller. "
The mael is a killer, if anyone did not know.
"I immediately sketched him: Drish in glasses, mowing a statement. The car is clearly stupid, sits, pretends that the book reads - and the entrance itself is the entrance, but with a photo he is checked. Nerves, of course, has ropes: It is bangible, does not hide, it is not afraid that it will be removed very much. Mother of the beast, in short. " Kank, hung: -ded !!! You got me!!! This press !!! Did you understand? !! Vladimir Vladimirovich comes to
boss and shouts:
Tywood! Hi, how are you? Where to

Tolya answers him:

Well, they agreed, Putin sat in

Well, in short, they agreed. New

He comes to the homeless and asks:
How do you know such people you
same homeless
I don't know there!
And you know Pope?
Well, I know.
The new Russian thought and says:
Come on this: I pay us a trip

Sits the homeless near the station begins. There is a new Russian, he sees this picture, well, he has fun in his heart, he approaches the homeless, throws him 100 bucks and goes into the car. He did not have time to sit down how the limousine approaches and Putin comes from there. Vladimir Vladimirovich comes to the homeless and shouts: Toyan! Hi, how are you? Where did you disappear to? Let's dine today! Tolya answers him: not Volodya, I can not. I work, come on the evening. Well, they agreed, Putin sat in the car and left. New Russian just shocked! Suddenly the second limousine drives up, Lukashenko comes out of it and shouts homeless: Tolya, hello! How are you? Where did you disappear to? Let's dine today! ? Tolya says: today I can not, I agreed with Putin, let's go tomorrow? Well, in short, they agreed. New Russian in the meantime fell to zero. He comes to the homeless and asks: How do you know such people, are you homeless? I don't know there! And you know Pope? Well, I know. The new Russian thought and says: Come on: I pay us a trip to Rome if I see that you stand on the balcony with Pope Roman, then I will give you so much money that you will have enough your grandchildren in the 13th generation. The homeless agreed. The next day, they arrived in Rome, on the square near the Vatican Millions of people, they went to the first rows, the new Russian remained, and the roofy went. He passed all the protection, he was welcomed. The new Russian looks at the balcony and sees that Tolya sits at the table to Pope Roman and eats with him. Then they got up and began to wave to the people who came to the square. Suddenly, he sees that the new Russian fainted. The next day they met, and toly asks: Why did you lose consciousness? Well, I can understand Putin, I can understand Lukashenko, but when the Chinese delegation arrived and asked the guide: "Who is this in white next to the tolik?"

As a rule, ordinary people personally concern the topic of limousines only when they decide which car to rent for a wedding corteage (in the extreme case, for a date with a girlfriend). Naturally, I want the marriage to remember for a lifetime, so the cars are chosen the most. And what could be better than a luxury limousine for the bride and groom? Perhaps nothing. However, there is one important legal problem, and if it is not solved, then in a few years it is almost impossible to order a limousine in our country ..

For a start, find out who makes limousines
It turns out that they are in principle not manufactured on automotive plants! Their all over the world make exclusively small companies: they buy a car - "donor", cut it in half,

Made "insert" with a length of 1.5 - 6 meters, weld all this, reinforce, extend cardan Val., wiring, make interior elements, paint, collect ...

and get this charm.

Until recently, there were 2 ways to update the Limousine Park - the Venus ready because of the border (usually from the USA) and the manufacturer (stretch) in Russia.

The first way - imports - closed at the end of 2008. To bring the limousine to Russia, of course, it is possible, but the TCP to get - no longer. The reason is that before the TCP issued customs on the fact of importation, and now it is required for this. from the manufacturer.

And in the US, such a document did not see if they did not see such a document. There are the best quality controllers - not supervisory authorities, but a consumer and judicial system: if, God forbid, something happens to the passengers of limousine because of the technical malfunction, the manufacturer will instantly go out. Therefore, manufacturers without any leather officials are climbing, so that with their limousines everything is in order. But in Russia without a papers ( approval of type vehicle ) You do not need anyone, therefore, even if you have imported limousine, then put it on accounting, and it means that it will not be operated.

Importing limousines very soon came up. But misfortunes did not happen - appeared domestic manufacturers. Moreover, according to the quality of "Russian" limousines, no difference from imported. After making, collected cars We passed the tests in us (Central Research Automotive Automobile and Avtomotone Institute), acquired the necessary paper and received on this basis new category D, as well as a new mass and capacity.

Everyone was happy until the state "made a horse's move": introduced a ban on the change in the TCP of the manufactured limousines. Now change categories and mass can not be made to documents, even having vehicle type approval from us. Those there is a limousine can, but to register or remove it no longer succeed. So were "killed" several domestic producers.

The most ridiculous that there are no solutions that wins from this decision, because it is impossible to import limousines. And lost everything: and manufacturers, and rental companies, consumers. The park already standing in the traffic police of limousines older. Money for their content and repair must be investing more and more, and therefore rental prices will grow, but reliability will decrease. And then the "Russian" limousines will completely disappear.

It is necessary to introduce clear and reasonable rules of the game, in which cars or can be taken out from abroad, or to refine in Russia with registration on legal grounds. Otherwise, after a while, all the limousines in our country will be with "Latvian numbers" with all the ensuing consequences ...

Length - more than ten meters! Passengerism - sixteen people! But this is not a bus, as I immediately want to think, but an SUV.

Although no, even the SUV is not at all, but limousine. Or, as they say to the Western manner, Stretch - "stretched". Yes, yes, they are stretched, and preferably: in two more times. Empathy? Even more! Not every turn does such a thing overcome in one reception.

So, you probably have already accumulated questions. Then we have answers. What does the passenger of the limousine feel? What does the driver of a taxi-like car feel? What do the owners of such cars feel? We just found out about it. And they could not hide it from you.

Bucket black caviar, golden toilet, suitcase dollars. The dimensionless limousines "on the grown" in this associative row will look at rare harmoniously. "Dear, I will send a limousine for you" - well, isn't the super supest? The "expensive" metaphor in this context acquires true meaning.

However, only very few can boast their own limousine. The point is not even in the cost of a similar machine, but in the expediency of possessing it. Yes, and in general - Limousine Limousine Maine. Here we have already come close to classification.

Classification

What will not be called a limousine! An extended Sedan of Executive Class - Limousine. A car With a partition between the driver and passengers - again limousine. Even a regular six-foam sedan - no, no, no yes and will be prescribed to limousines! In fact, according to the generally accepted classification, under the limousine it is necessary to understand the three-volume passenger body with four or six doors, having a partition for the front side of the seats. What, it turns out, Cadillac Escalade, which is depicted in our photos in different poses, is not limousine? Formally - no: the body is here two-volume! Nevertheless, any passerby, noticing this elephant on the street, will not slow down to comment - oh, "limousine"!

Then the game comes into play - the aforementioned foreign word "Stretch". Make any car "Stretch" - and you will receive a folk "limousine". Wrong, of course. But - publicly available and without any questions. I don't really want to be clever. Limousine means limousine.

The most expensive limousines are usually made from European top-class cars by the manufacturers themselves. A typical example is Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman. Such machines do not affect the imagination external speciesBut it is quite capable of stunning the price tag. And in the armored version, the price is simply killed to death: half a million dollars - not the limit at all. By the way, the chapters of many states - our, for example go to such cars.

Other limousines are often used as a taxi or in corporate purposes; are built on the basis of not the most expensive cars And they can have up to six doors. Having met such a car on the street, I want to wipe my eyes - it is painfully strange, even unnaturally looks such a "extension"! In St. Petersburg there is a similar plan, cars sometimes meet: it may be the Volvo 900th series, and Mercedes-Benz in the W124 body, and the views of Opel Omega.

Well, then ... Stretchi, super sturgeon, ultratetchi, hyperstretches, ultra-meterstretchers - the fantasy of the creators of such cars inexhaustible. Sometimes it seems that the limousine is built not to perform any task, but exclusively as a means of self-expression. 10 seats, 20 seats, 30 seats, TVs, DVD players, bar, restaurant, pool, helipad, golf course, aquarium with acting model The aircraft carrier is in full size ... Even if you did not come up with something else to wish, - in the limousine it will be. Of course, a five-way stretch with a swimming pool instead of a trunk is quite exotic, a demonstration of the firm's capabilities, a kind of Limo-concept. But the all-wheel drive jeep long for ten meters, capable of accommodating a football team, together with a bench of spare players, is, as you can see, reality. Before it can be touched by hand! And if there is a desire or necessity, then for quite human money you can become a caliph for an hour - from $ 200. And even cheaper.

Classic, the most limousity limousine is usually built on the basis of Lincoln Town Car. The principal moment here is the presence of a frame: to create a stretch of the car with a bearing body - the task is much more troublesome and expensive. And then everything is simple: the body of the serial car is cut exactly in the middle, and between the front and rear doors A box with windows is booming - the so-called insert. The length of the insertion and determines the class of limousine: all these "superstretches" and "ultrastretch" in theory indicate the length of the car. Town-kara, as a rule, is lengthened by 60-120 inches (1524-3048 mm), and SUVs can grow with 200 inches, and sometimes - and is stronger. It turns out more than five meters! Our "Caddy" - just such. Escalade and by itself - the car is not small, it is also elongated by 100%. We consider: 5,050 mm of own length plus 5,080 mm more acquired - Total more than ten meters of luxury! But this is not the limit. In St. Petersburg, the largest limousine in Russia on the basis of Ford Excursion lives - so even longer!

What happens to the frame? Alas, her take into account sadness: Hello, duck. A new power structure is cooked under the new body - the increasing frame will not be able to provide the necessary rigidity of the machine.

For the production of limousines only in the United States, almost fifty firms are puzzled. Of those for hearing - Tiffany Coachworks, Dream Coachworks, Krystal Enterprises and others. All together they are creating amazing things. Say, B. model row Dream has a six-axle Lincoln Navigator, and Krystal can portray such an amazing creature as Hummer H2 with eight doors!

In principle, the standard filling that American cars have, it turns out to be quite enough for Stretch: the engine and transmission remain intact. But the suspension and brake system can be strengthened - after all full mass Machines are becoming a little more. Again, it is necessary to refine the exhaust system, leading it in accordance with the new body length, as well as install a new drive shaft with several intermediate supports. Limousine is considered completed when performing some more procedures. Have you guessed? That's right: an additional generator and battery appears in the list of electrical equipment, and the heating and air conditioning system is produced more productive - as a huge passenger interior requires.

Internal space and decoration - that's the sake of which limousines are built. All - for the good of man! And not one - and for the whole company! The Salon of White Escalade is designed for 14 persons, which is fully disposed of a mirror bar with illumination. The bar is crystal decrees with fears and buckets for champagne. Immediately - Aquariums with playful plastic grains: water bubbles and changes colors, livestock - sports and pleases the eye. There is not enough pineapple and rippers.

On the mirror ceiling flickering stars - then multicolored LEDs romantically depict the sky. In partitions located in the ends of the cabin, the LCD televisions are mounted, and two more monitors sheltered on side racks. The signal on them goes either from the DVD player, or from a VCR - these devices are located at the floor level under the seats. Above the most VIP-sites is the remote control to everyone, and next to the remote control is the Hi-Fi-audio system with two 12-inch subwoofers: it can crawl so that any passersby man crosses! You can arrange a disco, illuminating an intimate twilight with flashes of stroboscopes and filling the cabin space with artificial smoke and laser beams. And you can turn off all of the above or as soon as you ask for the driver - there is a similar console in the cabin.

In the same cabin, however, there is something else. For example, a radiation for communication with the dispatcher. Here are the other bindings that are vital to the driver.

Driver

Is it hard to manage a limousine? According to Sergey, the driver of Escalade, you can get used to everything. Of course, for a long-base car there are a lot of restrictions. So, let's say, it is necessary to put the route in advance: ultrasoperstretch does not go from the first time. Although in the whole city, it is possible to drive everywhere, in some places it is not necessary without any problems. Surprisingly, the degree of rotation is not at all the most significant characteristics of the street. Much more important than the width of the roadway! However, for professional, there are practically no problems with maneuvering. Have you ever seen how masterfully pass the trials on hefty wagons - in the mirrors? In this sense, riding on the limousine is even easier: do not seek with all the desire.

Are the drivers of Limousines traffic rules violate? Only when it is caused by an extreme production necessity. The most common violation is a turn with the departure of the oncoming movement or turn in the wrong place. DPS inspectors, being fascinated by the magnitude of Stretch himself and the highest professionalism of its driver, belong to some of the limits condescending. And in general - the limousine respect everything. In an attempt to turn into cramped road conditions (and for a car long for ten meters almost any turn in the city is fraught with famous complications) Stretch can overcoat the street and collect impressive sizes The crowd of machines, but few drivers will begin to convulsely to hurry the clucks to be ridiculous. What if inside - wedding sings and dances? Why do people spoil the festive mood? But speed mode It is always complied with everywhere. Even with a margin - the company itself prohibits the driver to develop speed more than 40 km / h. Although everyone is clear that a multi-volume machine is capable of much more.

By the way, the full mass and passenger capacity of the long-lying limousine impose special requirements for drivers, the main thing from which is the availability of an open bus category "D". However, random people in limousines do not go: in most cases it is superprofessional. As Sergey - he has all the categories. Exceptions are rare. Here is a couple of examples from the lives of the framework of the world of limousines. The first frame is Afrorreysia, who, however, did not fit on the company: failed to know the city's unimportant knowledge. Second frame (or "Frame"?) - This is a woman driver. However, she also had to leave. Only now there is no male chauvinism here! The girl was controlled with limousine very successfully. As long as family circumstances were forced to change the work on a calmer. What? History is silent.

I almost forgot to tell about the rings. They are not so much. The most interesting thing is toggle, awakening piercing fanfare solemn sound. Sergey includes them when driving reverse. In the mirror, it can be seen definitely, much, but not all. In addition, it is important that not only you have seen, but also you saw - also. Attract attention - the best way Avoid problems.

Problems

Actually, there are no special problems with the functioning of the limousine in the city. But there are interesting features. Take, for example, maintenance and repair. The "Limousine Peace" has a specially trained person for the technical condition. He also produces some repairs. However, he, of course, is not impressed: after all modern car Requires branded service. Do you imagine a limousine on the lift? Not. Because there are no such lifts to which all the ten meters of the jeep could be picked up. But Stretch can call on pit, which is usually happening. In general, there is a problem, but you can solve it. Only cutter is needed.

Do you know that Limousine is the bus actually? At least, the customs documents are evidenced by: these cars come to the country exactly under the guise of capacitor buses. So here.

The most popular limousines become rich in celebrations days. In St. Petersburg, this is usually a white night season - gentlemen, book cars in advance! The second splash of the activity of customers falls on the regional year. By the way, 80% of clients of limousines are the newlyweds of various ages and destinies. The remaining interest falls to the issues of graduates and anniversaries of the anniversaries, as well as all those cases that fall under the definition of "other": all sorts of excursions, moving expensive guests and just fulfillment of someone's secret dream - ride a luxurious car.

We thank the company "World of Limousins" for help in the preparation of material

And even a little drove on it. I liked the car as a whole, but it is impossible to talk about full testing, because the car is not ready yet. This, specifying the information of journalists and officials, told the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Sadkov, "Interfax" reports.

"This information (about testing -" World 24 ") is slightly exaggerated. The fact is that the car is not yet ready. Indeed, there are some sketches, let's say, the prototype president saw, he liked, "he explained.

Earlier, the Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said that Putin swept on the "Prototype A", which will reach the Federal Security Service to the end. "Prototype b" showed him did not have time.

"The first understanding - really looks interesting. He did not go to the prototype - he tried on it and a little bit really drove. But I did not go, because it's still a prototype. It is still impossible to ride the president on it, "the sands corrected him.

The project "The Court" was launched in 2012. Within the framework of the program, representatives of a representative class - Limousine, Sedan, SUV and Minivan are created. They should move the highest officials of the state. Later cars will go on sale and for ordinary, albeit wealthy citizens. It is assumed that at the site of the Central Research Automobile and Automotive Institute "We" will be produced to 300 cars per year.

In countries with a developed automotive industry, the first persons are usually moved on the products of the domestic auto industry. So it was in the USSR - with the exception of Vladimir Lenin, all the leaders of the state went to the limousines of production ZIL (previously ZIS). Such a car also used the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin, while in 1997 moved to Mercedes.

In the US, Donald Trump moves on the Armored Limousine Cadillac One by nicknamed The Beast ("Beast"). It is believed that this is the most secure car in the world. It is built on a tank frame, weighs up to 9 tons and can, for example, spray tear gas. Currently, General Motors tests the updated version of the presidential limousine. It was assumed that it would be shown on the inauguration on January 20, 2017, but the premiere was delayed. Note that the head of the White House was not always used Cadillac, but it was its products that the last four presidents preferred. But George Bush-senior moved to Lincoln Town Car.

The Chairman of the PRC SI JINPIN uses the Faw Hong Qi HQE limousine ("Red Banner"). The length of the car is 6.4 meters, it is stylized under the first Hong Qi of the 1950s. The model and other Chinese officials are popular.

The Queen of UK Elizabeth II moves to Bentley State Limousine, formally part of the German concern Volkswagen. Group, or on one of the Rolls-Royce options - for example, existing in a single instance of Phantom VI with a folding roof. But the British Prime Ministers by traditions use Jaguar cars. So, Teresa Mei prefers Jaguar XJ. Her predecessor David Cameron used Jaxuar XJ Sentinel.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel chose Audi A8 L Security W12 in a special Kanzler version with numerous additional options. However, there is in her garage and Mercedes-Benz S600L class Sonderklasse.

In France, there is no tradition of using executive cars for the head of state, but the car must be French. The current President Emmanuel Macron chose the flagship model of the premium French brand - the DS 7 Crossback crossover, and his predecessor Francois Hollande appeared in public on the mid-sized, almost serial hatchback DS 5.

In Japan, the imperial family and the prime minister have been using Toyota Century sedans for many years, which are collected for them manually. Wherein sedan Toyota. Century Royal for akihito looks impressive than the Sindzo Abe car. It is worth noting that the Premiere version also prefer some of the highest officials and even the richest members of the Japanese Mafia Yakuza.

Independently provides cars of the first persons of the state and South Korea. The main car for the President of the country is Hyundai Equus VL500, significantly exceeding the size of the main auto-producer fleet.

In Italy, the highest officials choose the Lancia car (the current president Sergio Mattarella - Lancia Flaminia 335), in the Czech Republic - Skoda. But in Sweden, King Karl XVI Gustav for official ceremonies does not use local Volvo, but a rare Daimler DS420 sample of 1968, which has preferred many monarchs of Europe. However, in ordinary trips, he leaves all the same on the Volvo S80.

In general, world leaders most often use the products of the German and British auto industry of special series or made by special price.

The most original, perhaps the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte is coming. His choice is a personal bike. And he rides on it not only to work, but also by other cities when comes there on an official visit.

Russian automakers have released Luxury Limousine under the new brand "Aurus". Western experts immediately spoke about its shortcomings.

Secrets of Superlimsin Putin "Court"

As Die Welt writes, there are no such cars in Russia three dozen years. The newest "Aurus" is designed to compete with Western brands. The publication reminds that at the end of August, the Aurus Senate model was presented at the Moscow Motor Show.

According to journalists, the newspaper, so Russia intends to enter the elite-class circle of premium class and make competition to the Rolls-Royce British brands and Bentley (Bentley), as well as the German "Maybach-Daimler" Daimler).

It is noted that German engineers worked on the brand, and he was created for the money of Arab oil sheikhs. In addition, the image of Putin's president, who personally uses this car, for example, he came to his inauguration on it.

At one time, in the USSR, the armored version of ZIL-41052 was in the go, which was taken by the first and last president. Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. In turn, Boris Yeltsin went to the "Mercedes from 500" by the President of Russia. Later, Vladimir Putin used Mercedes-Benz limousines model "With 600 Gard Pullman" (S 600 Guard Pullman), but noted the need to return to the products of the Russian car industry.

In this regard, a special program called "Torque" was created to develop a representative limousine, an SUV and a minibus. She was developing a consortium from the Central Research Automobile and Avtomotor Institute and the Sollers private enterprise, which previously collaborated with Fiat (Fiat), Ford (Ford) and Mazda (Mazda) in the manufacture of cars.

The publication emphasizes that 12.4 billion rubles (164 million euros) were invested in the draft representative limousines. Relatively modest amount for such an ambitious project. As a result, the model of the brand "Aurus" began to call the Kremlin towers. The limousine was called "Senate", the SUV - "KOMENDANT", Minibus - Arsenal. Also expected the appearance of the version "Aurus Senate Cabriolet".

For these cars, a completely competitive price will be established, the Russian Minister of Industry Denis Manturov said. According to him, the limousine will cost several more expensive car "Mercedes" C-class, but by 20% cheaper than Rolls-Royce.

By the way, to the limousine and SUVs "tuple", according to the media, "people close to the so-called" looking across Russia "were raised.

"It is said that it was denied with a lighter boys. Right. Nefig Warr to ride the" presidential "limousine with bulls to the" Kremlin "jeeps," they write in RuNet.

Experts of the German press with skepticism reacted to information that the parts of the car are mainly manufactured in domestic factories: wheels - in Krasnoyarsk, shock absorbers - in Bashkiria, leather seat upholstery - in Ryazan, gas tanks - in Nizhny Novgorod.
