I've always loved this picture. To put the size, or lack there of, in perspective. Those are 13" wheels!

Adrian, long time, no see One of my all-time favorites as well. It almost looks like a diorama. A great representation of the era.

I was experimenting with my cell phone over the weekend to see what could be done as far as action photos. Of course, no ability to focus or adjust exposure. A real crap shoot.

Yes, it's been way too long. Are you back in Mi much or just hanging in Fl? I haven't been up to the rally in a few years. We need to raise a pint if you're around.

And old 35mm I took back in 94 at Spa, some guy in the paddock.

VAZ-Porsche 2103 (1976)
Soviet Racing and Concept Cars – Old Concept Cars

Quote:
Back in 1975, Porsche’s chairman Ernst Fuhrmann met with the Soviet automotive industry minister Viktor Polyakov and agreed on a three-year partnership where Porsche would help design Ladas. This is the failed result of that partnership. It’s called the VAZ-Porsche 2103 and it was planned to be a facelift of the Lada of the time. Porsche revised the suspension, redid the interior, and cleaned up the exterior. Well, they pulled off all the metal brightwork and put plastic in there instead. To put things charitably, it looks very much of its period.

Pangolina (1980)

Soviet Racing and Concept Cars – Old Concept Cars
Quote:
Another homemade sports design, it was the brainchild of engineer Alexander Kulygin, who also produced a six-wheel all-terrain vehicle and a concept car, both for the military. The Pangolina was built in 1980 and very successfully. Together with its creator, it featured in various Soviet racing competitions and even visited the “EXPO 85” International Auto Exhibition in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The car was used in Soviet pop clips. It is now in a museum.

Soviet Bloc Cars Were Weird: The Laura

Quote:
In 1995, the third and final Laura project was created, based on a Pontiac Fiero platform. Apparently, there are still running examples from it, like the one in the video below.
