Tirana, Albania Most W124s per Capita!!!!!

I just traveled to Tirana for 3 weeks, and I think it has the most w124 diesels per capita in the entire world. I swear it was 9 w124 to 1 other manufacturer. This soldier had a diesel sportline which I didn't even know existed, plus majority of all the w124s were stick. I bet you could find any parts for any w124 there. Let me know what you guys think.

I didn't get any pictures because I was stuck on top of the mountain Dajti Park for 3 weeks. Even the driving schools drove w124s. I couldn't find to many AMGs but I bet they were out there. One thing that caught my eye was that I saw a BMW 740D - normaly I see 740IL but this one was a diesel blew my mind.
