Theme Thursdays: Ex Soviet/Russian rides

Jul 28, 2011

Once again I have Ollie to thank for submitting the content for this weeks Theme Tuesday. Normally I would add a few cars from my own collection to whatever he sends but this week I am on vacation so it’s 100% Ollie’s pics.

I’ve posted a few Russian and Soviet cars before but I have not really looked into them too hard so this is a good switch up of the norm.

from_russia_5 — Start things off with a Trabant with some Patina

from_russia_15 — Mesh wheels work on everything...

from_russia_13 — Exceptionally clean Lada

from_russia_11 — Ollie digs the eyelids on this car and I have to agree they are very fitting

from_russia_9 — Nice laid, plaid interior nice touch

from_russia_8 — Lada with a little from here and a little from there

from_russia_7 — The last Wartburg I posted had a Subaru motor swapped in it

from_russia_6 — This cars got just a little bit of motor sport flare to it

from_russia_1 — Of the cars Ollie sent this Trabant estate was my absolute favorite

from_russia_3 — It's small like a mini, but a wagon like... well a wagon

from_russia_2 — Ironically he sent this car first, and I put it last

Sorry for the delay on this one. The internet room here flooded. Go figure…

soviet cars are all awful when you compare them to car’s from europe japan and america but in the quality and work these guys put in to there rides using what thay have ,thay put alot of “better” cars to utter shame

Great cars! Glad to see some cars of my good friends here.

BTW Fiat, Trabant and Wartburg are not Soviet cars at all =)

  JDR you are totally right, I ended up messing up the title during one of my edits and it was too slow in cuba to do anything but post 😛
