We know who is in the 212 and the 113 who was in the G-wagen?

Hello,

This add is available on www.mercedes-benz.tv and has been chosen as one of the most popular MB-fims of 2010.
I still wonder who drives the G-class, it doesn’t seem to be a senior citizen.

Greetings,

Erik

Also I do speak German I can not make out the remark of the G-MB drivers. The male one of course is Franz Beckenbauer "The Kaiser" of German soccer fame and the lady ?
I have been listening to their remarks over and over, to no avail.
Can anybody enlighten me please ?

CHEERS!
 WITT !

Mika tries to pass Michael in his (...) pagoda. When he is finally successful he says: "Ah, wusst' ich's doch: Sonntagsfahrer. ...  Hehehe." Translation: "Ah, I knew it: Sunday driver. Hehehe." And on the English version of this add: "Aha, I knew it, Sunday driver. Hehehe."
Right after Mika finshed passing the pagoda he was overtaken by the G-model and says: "Oh, wow" in German, and "Oh, wow" in the English version.
The G-model driver (Franz Beckenbauer in the German version) says: "Wusst' ich's doch: Rentner!". Thanslation: I knew it: Retiree." In the English version the nice blonde yound lady says: "I knew it, senior citizen."

Had no problems to understand that although both languages (deutsch&englisch) are not among my top 100s.

Yes, Witt, you are right. The word "citizen" of hers is a bit hard to understand. At least for my poor skills...

.....thank you Achim, that clears thing up a lot !
The way I understood Beckenbauers remark after he passes Mika was: "wust' ichs' doch, Auslaender.....!
The right version is not to bad either and "politically correct !" (hmmmm)

Yes, Witt,

... I know. Some of us Germans are sometimes known to be not absolutely "politically correct" with our German fellow citizens of Turkish descent...   and that's not correct and is unfair, of course. 

However, in this case Franz was really absolutely "politically correct" in his statement.
