Moscow Motor show is in town. So even though some of the cars that you’ll see here, were already shown to you in the New York Auto Show 2008 post, there were still a good number of new European market cars. This year’s highlight was the new Lada C-cross concept premier, and of course looking at these pictures,  it’s impossible to ignore all of the beautiful models that tried to make some not so appealing cars, seem more appealing..

We also got a picture sent in to us by “fcouprie” which depicts a statue of one of the main characters from the cartoon which is on display in Tomsk, enjoy!!!

by Rfun 4 Comments »


Two guys from Russia decided to go on a 1300km (800 mile) bike trip. They started their adventure in Volgograd, and on their way they visited Astrakhan, Elista, and Stavropol. The entire journey took them 18 days to complete. Thankfully they brought a really good camera along, so here are pictures they took along the way. (If you happened to like Russia through the eyes of a cyclist, then you should definitely check out Russia through the eyes of an airline pilot)
