"To me suchlike photographs proves much more the absence of common sense. "

Not sure what u mean. Are u talking about the Chaika powerd Chevy Nova/Acadian look alike or the Soviet parade????

In either case i'm not sure what common sense is absent.

And Hardtop write:
"Also when I have repaired Soviet cars,no westerns cars logic seems to adapt, lets say expect the unexpected. If something fells apart then check other near by things to!"

Yeah, lets see, Vega, dissappearing tailgates, mustang gas tanks, MoPar e-ignition of the 70's-80 or maybe even MoPar electrics in general from the 1930's up thru the 1980's, Packard V8 oil pumps, various fires caused over the years by eng'ring defects in nearly all EC and US cars, Wheels so flimsy on some 70's cars that the wheel covers fly off going around a turn, ... The list goes on and on and on and on.

I have over 160 hr's of formal GM training at the Gm te-center in Warren Mi. for Opel service management. The Opel is one of the worse hodge podge of parts and assembly i've ever seen.


I'm not defending the Ruskies. BUt the US and EC living in glass houses really should not throw rocks at Russia.
