Is that true that the roads in Russia are so bad, that people have to drive under water? Anyway, they successfully do it, using Lada Niva, just an ordinary Russian off road car for the middle class.

FIRST
nice niva 2
By examining the photos very carefully, and using this simple formula (a=b2+j*x) where x = excrement, I’ve discovered that that lake is actually sewer. Pic number 34 actually exceed the amount of excrement x water amount allowed by Geneva Convention, thus rendering all those people in wetsuits in the pics DEAD by now (due to serious bacteria infection).
Funeral hasn’t been decided yet, but going on past experience should be sometime between Sunday and Wednesday.
Why are you insisting on the issue of funerals of these dudes?let decompose them in open for the good of whole civilised society.
You seem to not understand, the bodies have been soaked in urine concentrate… they cannot decompose now! According to this formula (x = tb +e1 x f3) where tb = tuberculosis, the only way to dispose of the bodies is to send them into space.
that sctually is real math, for anyone who knows simple statistics
LOL!
Al..al..alga….wha?
That’s what I was going to say. Except, it is calculus and not statistics.
Al gae bra. You can see the algae bra on the pic of the car out of the water.
considering I am a math major, those of you who think math is just numbers are wrong. letters mean more than numbers.
Give him hell Babushka!
This lives there:

This is a great sequence of photos. Thanks.
How do they cease allowing an electrical short? Amazing.
They were towing their vehicle not driving their engine ! ! ! !.there was pulling tractor on the other side of sewer pond,which was the real hero of that event.
ja, ja! Natürlich!

Goddamn, that’s just nuts. Underwater mods for cars are pretty cool though, we might need ’em if the major cities of the world start flooding over thanks to global warming.
They might be called Goremobiles, or Pachauri cars.
That’s not smoke. It’s bubbles.
Just imagine the interior will stink in a few days…
unless this is just a big hoax, can someone explain how the engine is able to continue working while completely submerged?
Tom, do you live near the John from Kansas? If so, please kick his ass. He needs good Russia style butt kicking.
Diesel would work, gasoline engine no way
No wire protection was made exept the main processor unit. The pure water is dielectic (once again to prove that the lake was not urinated 🙂
OOOO nice don LADA good 2 see it like small ship ehehheh
Why does the dashboard have a USA sticker?
Look carefully,sticker belongs to U ASS! ! ! ! ! !
Oh, Zaf-Man is getting a little mouthy with with American.
He that is silent,gathers stone! ! ! ! ! ! !
Alright homeboy, I’m planning to get loud. 🙂
Oh really! ! ! ! !
Where are you from Zaf? Are you really from Siberia? Someone said you were muslim. Is that true?
That `someone` was you Texas1 ! ! ! !.i don`t forget your `nice` comments about me.why are you so keen to know my origin?i already said,i am from Galaxy `chibliano`.my planet is 300000000 light years from the earth.my basic task is establishing bridgehead on the earth.if you are history guy,please recall your memory.just like area51 in USA,russia has their Area51 too in Siberia.my ancestors were failed to establish their first base in …….area in Siberia.i have no permission to disclose my actual position.so i think this is enough.
HA Ha! You were a good sport and fun to tease.
Good job on noticing the USA sticker on image 29, but failing to notice the full text of the sticker on image 30 which says USAG.
Who cares! ! ! ! !
You do. You’re dumb, so we’re throwing rocks at you.

“We” aren’t throwing rocks, you are. And you know about those who throw rocks.
Let those who cast the first rocks cast them at John from Kansas.

Although there is no much there – just video and pics. I guess the full story is in the print edition only (so far).
That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, The ingenuinity (sp?) of the russian people continue to amaze me!
LOL. Great video cynical.
Good point. I wouldn’t be too proud of this marvelous work of inferior russian engineering either.
It’s a fun vehicle. It’s engineering at least equal to those swamp buggys.
What are you talking about? Can you be any less specific?
If you had been following this thread you would know. To help you get your bearings see above, cynical’s link to “Swamp buggy race photos .
You probably still get excited about the “technology” behind the Babushka doll.
the truck’s a diesel AND military (specifically designed for snorkel operation). The Niva here is just a 1.6 petrol-engine civilian wagon with good off-road capabilities, fitted with two hoses.
That’s why whether it operates underwater is TESTED by divers in the video. They clearly can afford a range of different cars. Still Niva fares very well (even rolling with water in its oil) and they are amused by it, nothing more.
More Niva videos:

Those are some more great videos. What a fun vehicle. Want to try that with your BMW?
how much does niva like that (int pic one) cost & where can i buy it (in canada … eh?);
Wasn’t the Edsel’s problem more a marketing failure?
Yes, we don’t want to get started on that.
Yes, there was a lot of talk about how revolutionary the Edsel was going tho be. We heard it was going to have a jet engine and a bubble canopy like the Firebird II. Boy were we disapointed. After that we called it the car with a lemon in it’s mouth.
Wet suits are HOT !
This would make suitable vehicle for shark catching.
Nice carwash, but i don’t believe it: photoshop
according to the equation(E=Mc2)the guys should be flying of to space by know XD….. no offence Babushka
The trick is finding roads under water
Also the Hummer H1 can do this with no problems
Yes, and they even sell a snorkel kit.
😀
very cool post
Water got into oil. Put some water into the oil tract in your car (whatever it is) – you’ll get the same.
After all that, you got one underwater pic? Come on!
If I wasn’t so concerned about the environment, I would take that Russian hunk of junk and just park it at the bottom of that lake.
This thing probably leaks more oil than the hair on a russian jew.
That wasn’t called for. Shame on you.
That wasn’t called for either. Shame on you again.
Espectacular, que lcura
los Lada son muy buenos !!!
Felicitaciones desde Chile, Sur America

“how much does niva like that (int pic one) cost & where can i buy it (in canada … eh?);”
whats that all aboot, eh? Why dont you take off, you hoser!
j/k…..
the vehicle in the first picture does look pretty cool, I wish there were more pictures of that vehicle. It is pretty obvious that the junker driving under water is not the vehicle in the first picture….and if it is, it is the 10-20 year old version, not one of the current models.
And FYI…..when talking about American cars and reliability….Ford is not the company to even begin to think about. A cripple in a wheel chair with blunt force trauma can operate better than most ford vehicles….with the exception of some of the heavy duty diesel trucks.
Actually, many Fords and GM’s are now equal in quality to that of the better Japanese cars.
I believe these Niva’s once had dealerships established in California. However, extremely poor quality and other problems led this company to exit the US market.
I agree with Texas1. The quality of Ford and GM vehicles is very good.

I wouldn’t say it’s very good (it’s in the middle), but the quality has really improved lately. Now they have to work on fuel efficiency.
Thanks God,you both at least agree on same issue.carry on your “understanding”.
Yes. Will wonders ever cease?
No it’s a recent version of a Niva, just a couple of years old. You haven’t seen the 20-year old version yet… I’ve been in both.
Why almost everybody from USA think that East European cars (Lada, Moskwitch, Zastava [including good old Yugo], Škoda…) ain’t quality or at least good cars?
Do you know las GW Bush gaffe? See it here and tell me if it’s true…
This is forgery! Adolph Hitler not so good with the English!
You may be right because George Bush is not so good with “the English” either.
Anyone who would compare Dub to Hitler is fool.
This is a fake Texas1!
see the video on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRBGr39uJBo
These guys are special forces, training for a special infiltration mission.
I am not allowed to reveal the nature of the mission, or Putin will not allow me to keep the autographed photo of him bare-chested, riding bare-back, on horseback, in the Russian outback. I plan to trade it to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a vacation spot on the shores of the Persian gulf.
Russian Media Source is also my comment and where is Boris ?
A Texas1 impostor wrote this nonsense.
Are there any Lada-Niva dealerships in Canada?
yes indeed, there is a Lada dealership in Canada.Its just outside Winnipeg.I own a 1996 Lada cossack-great little 4×4.Parts are not as hard to find as some believe.There is also a dealership in Quebec somewhere, perhaps Montreal
So I’ve heard that there is a garage in Richmond Hill, ON and a dealer in Montreal. But I haven’t had any luck tracking them down. Do you have any details on places in Canada where I could find parts?
The real Texas1 did not write this!
Conflicting reports from the Kremlin. Now my sources say these photos are of a contract hit team, solicited by the Dept. of International Contract Killers to infiltrate, and set off an explosion inside, the Arctic Survey Service the next time they try to plant Russian flag under polar ice cap. The Canadian Underwater Neutralization Team may also be involved.
International intrigue–it becomes too complicated for even Kasparov to figure it out.
Which one of you guys knows something about the plot to pluck Putin in Tehran
Please tell me, so I will have some good information to trade for favors inside the red brick walls (wink, wink. You know where I’m talking about). 😉
Come on. . . .
let op scheveningen de russen kommen…. dan toch ??
On behalf of my fellow brits, I apologise profusely for all those Lada jokes. And may I be the first to say… I WANT ONE!!
that was cool…I cant for the submarine driving on the highway conversion!!
oops!…should read:I cant wait for the submarine driving on the highway conversion!!
An interesting EXERCISE in deed.My only concern is I have seen a Niva stall in a lot less water,but it was not prepared for swimming at all.Best Wishes to all involved with this exercise.BOBBY.
It will be here http://www.zr.ru/articles/53509/ in few days. And I can notify that all members of expedition are OK and it was no urine in the lake (it’s – I cannot say it in English – some residus like in the many north lakes). I recommend also to see the video (the same link as above).
Enjoy!
I consider this can be exciting and don’t see posted often. This is wonderful data.
