Once I was playing my balalayka and drinking vodka with my bear....


O`k, jokes over)


Now seriously

Once i`ve had seen a strange car… such big and black =)

I didn`t knew what a kind of car was it, but I realized – I`m in love!

In my 17 y.o. I was a student, who had no money really… Just some cash for beer/fun, but no more. I begun to work much harder (combining with continuing my university education) and to look at supras to buy. Here, in Russia, we haven`t a huge number of supras, and a have found only one in complication I want – GA70 (GA was cheaper than MA), targa, AT (a even haden`t driver`s card yet, experience too – that is why AT. In Russia you cat try to pass the driver`s test after 18). So, after 4 months of economy and hardworking, a bought this piece of miracle… =)





Yes, it was a real PIECE of… miracle! =)


She (yes, SHE!) was in a sad condition, as u see… the only non-crapped part of body was right door



So, I was going to rebuild body, my engine braked.. so, I was waiting engine (with MT!!) and doing body. I`ve changed stock gray interior – now black with red. So She was waiting for an engine.





So, there were some deficiencys, but in general, She was a good supra with MT



On 21 of September 2006 a was driving back home from countryhouse. It was about 2-3 kilometers left to home, and I kissed Hyundai accent a bit… What can a tell toy… Toyota is much better then huyndai… a made a banana from he… He was staying in the left (highspeed part) side of highwy… just staing… without any sings… all other cars were rolling about 80 km/h. So, it happened. (She got home after it itself, after replacing wrecked radiator with new one from garage)



I have spent a lot of time and money to rebuild the body, and… It was a catastrophe. I wanted to sell it for 1000$, buy vodka and drink. I thought my dream said goodbye to me. Cold winter was near.


But after winter there is a spring! My blood was hot, and a decided to resurrect car.







After rebuilding of body I fixed a lot of troubles with electricity (Wire plait was burned a bit during welding a front of car)

Now i decided to make suspension

Cusco

Did your supra come from the UK? It's funny seeing a RHD supra in a LHD country.

cwd

She is from Japan =)


we have lots of RHD cars in Russia. Especially in eastern part - after Ural. It`s really cheaper to buy japan car there. Alternative.... German? Too far from there. China??? Russian cars?- Buckets with screws))) So, there are about 90% Japan cars (RHD)


Moscow is very reach city, and people mostly buy new mercedeses, lexuses, etc, and there are abut 10-20% of rhd cars (as I see, I even don`t know have we got official statistics or not)


PS what is cwd?
