G'day betauser,
And to PackardInfo. Seems you're a man of few words, the language barrier perhaps? Instead you let pictures do your talking!

Perhaps it's time to give a few "English" lessons on the board:

Yes, you're right:) I have not seen these cars on the roads for a long time.

Your English looks pretty good from here, so keep it up.

Funny videos Eric, I think I have seen these before somewhere but cant remember where exactly, to bad the don't sell this kind of beer here

to betauser: its not a problem, I started learning languages by watching TV shows and movies, my problem is a cant understand russian,most people would assumed I should,
since I have Soviet cars but some way it turned out different.
If you wich you can call me Steve;)

The roads are so bad here lets fly over them instead said the driver to his passenger. The passenger replied aren't your worried getting shot down by a MIG.

Something interesting for the readers to watch:
photofile.ru/users/sickfinga/135154801/151795318/
Soviet car manufactures brochures.
They remind me of old 1950s GM brochures, but never the less are the same interesting to me, no doubt about it.

I can not say its a "Chrismas present" exactly but I got a hold of some ZIM GAZ 12 factory drawings from a friend who is also a ZIM owner and want to rebuild his car.
By only looking at these drawings It gives me the feeling being in hold of something far more great then just a set of drawings.
The Second photo is something that you would not see everyday.
