Russian Self Made Hummer
Recently we had a Russian guy from Kazakhstan who has built a Rolls Royce Phantom at home out of old Mercedes car. Seems that this trend is getting stronger. Now meet a Hummer car clone.
It can’t be called full replica as it is more likely a Russian approach for the Big Agressive Car that can be used to climb mountains, to sow and plough thru the fields, to clean snow and mud and even to… drive underwater.
“I have only one oxygen mask that can be used while you are driving by the bottom of the lake/river. Once we were crossing some lake and the car got stuck in the bottom mud. My passenger didn’t have a mask so he had to swim out to the surface to get some air and get back down to me to help releasing it.”, says the owner.
And yes, it can drive through the fire too! And now the pictures:
The Self Made Rolls Royce
When you have a dream you can try to get closer to it. If this dream is about some item you can buy you can start saving for it, try stealing it or… you can make it.
This is how this guy from outskirts of Karaganda , Kazakhstan has solved his urge for a Rolls Royce car - he made a replica from old Mercedes W123.
No Parking!
If they warn you not to park the car here - as on this sign above - you better take it serious. “If you still park your car can be damaged by trucks coming in and out”. And how it can be damaged we can see inside.
The Bucket Rover
In England they have Land Rover, in USA there was a moon rover now, in Russia has appeared a bucket rover.
For now, just as a concept it still has good chances to become… or wait.
Snow Patrol
This Russian road patrol stays there for way too long.
Drivers from passing by cars wonder if the officers are still inside.
To Give or not to Give?
“Hey young lady, it looks like you have broken three traffic rules at once and…”
After second or two:
“Sorry miss, my fault, fare well!”
UFO (Unknown Floating Object) In Moscow?
Well, guys. A strange thing happened recently in Moscow. All the onlookers of this were literally shocked. Have you ever seen a car, floating along the river but not sinking for good two hours? I bet that you haven’t.
So, I will tell you how such an odd story came about. When some pedestrians were walking along the quay they saw some strange thing in the Moscow River, neither a car nor a boat. One would think: what the hell? And so did all the passers-by. Some of them even began to hesitate which number they should phone first, rescue service to deal with the car or an ambulance to rescue them from the mirage.
Kiev Cars
We’ve seen a lot of nice cars from Russia here already. It’s no secret there a lot of them: a British journalist once said that only in Moscow could he see several Lamborghinis or Ferraris stopped at one traffic light.
So we wondered if this was a cultural thing. First we looked to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, another piece of the USSR that gained its independence not even twenty years ago. While the Ukraine has been less fortunate in terms of natural resources, the stamp of Soviet heritage is strong and many Ukrainians even prefer Russian as their primary language. So we deduced this could mean only one thing—there should be tons of luxury cars there too.
Thus, we set on a brief examination of the streets of Kiev and it looks like we were right: yet another country with an average salary under 25 grand but with cars costing over $200,000.
Left to Rust
When the car becomes out of use to its owner, or when it gets to tired and refuses to keep further service it’s a normal thing to leave it rusting under open skies in post Soviet countries.
Officials don’t fine people for that and don’t tow cars away, so many small streets or public yards have one or two of those that would not move by themselves away again.
Some of them even get painted by locals to a color of a curb or of a nearby wall.
Those ones stay on streets of Ukraine.
Lexus vs Lexus
Lexus could pay those guys some benefits for this real life crash test of this Darwinism award winning frontal crash event when two lexus drivers were stubborn enough not to give the lane to each other.
As a result both Lexus suvs are non-usable but the drivers and the passengers just got scared and got no physical damage for their health. Could be a perfect ad for Lexus brand safety issues.
