Welcome to Russian roads :)

[kukuruznik]

Hi there! Dunno if found the right place, but here i decided to share my photos of cars that can be seen in here, in Russia.
Because most of you live in Europe, i think it will be interesting and usefull:)
I am very shy, so i cant stand with a camera beside the road for hours, but the cars i have caught i promise to share :)
So... Lets begin?;)

1 post: Soviet cars in Kiev

1) Volga 24 , in pretty good shape
2) Vaz-2103
3) Early Vaz-2106

such as the name of the cars...;)

i'm really interested in cars from different countries like Russia, since there aren't so much pictures of them on the interwebz, much less at decent resolutions, and the majority of site about them are in Russian or other languages i don't know so...post more!:)

[faksta]

Privet :)
So, where do you actually live? The flag says 'Russian Federation', but the numberplates are Ukrainian :p

[kukuruznik]

Hi, i was born and live in Moscow. But i was on a tour last month in Kiev, we were staying in a hotel on Maydan Street, 6th floor, from the window i had a chance to try my new camera thats why the cars are shown mostly roof :)

Okay! Here' some from my neighbourhood.

1) Looks like new Vaz-2107
2) Volga 3102, the general's and ministers car:cool:
Probably some ex-general going to country house:)
3)Thats ordinary russians going to "Dacha" or country house in a Vaz-2105

[drakkie]

The Niva is still sold here as Lada Niva and can reularly be spotted on 4x4 terrains around here. Just wondering, since you mentioned them as Vaz 2121Niva, are these built at a different plant or something or are it just badge-engineered versions sold here ?

[faksta]

What do you mean? Lada is a trademark of VAZ factory :)

[kukuruznik]

Heh, cannot say for sure, but think they were made in Tolliaty, USSR where other nivas for USSR were also made. Just badges changed.
Now Nivas are made also in Kazakhstan, and Ukraine by the way. But for local markets.:)

Here's A pickup made on Izh factory, the base is 2105, the ODA is removed from marked, and Izh makes 2105 now , and made 2106 till 2006 year if im right

[fisetdavid26]

Interesting stuff Kukuruznik, thanks for sharing. And welcome to UCP! :)

[Ferrer]

Aboslutely love the Niva. No nonsense motoring.

[kukuruznik]

Moskvitch AZLK 2140 , 1986 year of production:)
And Lada 2114 Samara ,the restyled 2109:rolleyes:

[kukuruznik]

Just was coming home from school when i heard those sirens, and decided to see that happened. :eek:

Sorry guys dont know the firetrucks names:(, all are Fire team , and the last image is rescue team van and bus.

[jorismo]

I'm guessing the fire trucks are old Mercedes (since they have the badge on the hood) with a Ziegler or Rosenbauer fitting on them. It's some great German quality stuff.

hah good joke:)
The mercedes badge got nothing to do with benz, just cool tuning:cool:
The trucks , apart from the first one, are russian. Zils . But i dont know the indexes they got after being fitted at fire truck firms.

[jorismo]

Of course... Didn't think of that.

Could be self-build then. Happens a lot in Eastern European nations. Or there is some other 100% Russian fire truck builder... I believe they are called Zit or Zil or something. They have produced loads of fire trucks for Russian cities in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

EDIT - Sorry, didn't see kukuruznik's comment...

The new ones are a different story, its post the great soviet era. its the era of we-have-no-money-because-its-all-in-our-pocket-PS-gimme-yours-or-you-go-to-jail

An East-German company also built some fire-vehicles. I've lost the name right now, starts with Ba... Anyway when I think of it, i'll post it. Might have some pictures as well somewhere, I think I did make a back-up of them before the laptop-crash..

Could be Baribbi, but that's an Italian company. Then there is Brijabasi, an Indian company. Last there is Braco, and they are from Norway...

Those are all I can think of...

Guys, you surprise me :) How can it be that no one recognized a Transit? If you really didn't, 'Transit' is written on its side :)
