This beautiful building demonstrates the level of corruption and arrogance that can be found in Russia these days, while this idiotic collection of Russian construction here might seem silly, the new bridge with missing bolts is already a serious issue, now you can add an expensive new building that has a river washing away the structure under it…

Russian SUV that Never Made it…

by Rfun No Comments »


In Russia it takes a long time to put new cars into production. Usually new concepts show up on car shows for years before they ever reach mass production. Unfortunatelly because of that sometimes really good concepts never get a green light, like in the case of this GAZ-3106 that also never made it past a concept stage (lets hope that Lada Project C concept will escape same fate)…

Volga that never made it…

by Rfun No Comments »


GAZ-3105 is a Volga that unfortunately never reached mass production. They began building first prototypes in 1987 and in 1992 GAZ even displayed this car on the international car show in Leipzig, Germany. Interestingly enough this car had all wheel drive, and was powered by the 170hp engine.
