Having spent some time in Moscow, I'm not surprised. The amont of broken down clapped-out Ladas on the side of the road is unreal!

I do like the stripped out drag racer - he must be pulling high 60s or low 70s in that..

The Pic of the one filled with apples seems to be taken from a Merc, but it could be just a lada with a Merc badge. :lol:

The volga is the other favourite there. There are plenty of other marques to be seen on the streets though -mostly european. They even have an FTO owners club!

FTOs? Wow, that's a surprise. I'd have thought they were virtually unheard of in Left Hand Drive countries.

Привет всем у меня вчера с машины украли два литых диска обыскала весь Омск чтобы точно такие же купить ни где нет. Может быть кому нибудь где нибудь попадутся.
Название- Racing Wheels


Well they apparently understand English. ;) Someone should post a thread on there.

Edit: Of course this forum doesn't have the Russian alphabet!
