BMW X5 M HAPPY NEW YEAR EDITION

Here is a festive BMW X5 M sighted of a December evening in Moscow.


A Happy New Year 2019 !


This one is on the blog because of the wrap.


Generally I am not into BMWs for some reason and always pass them by in my occasional car spotting activity.

Lada VAZ-2108

Here is a Lada VAZ-2108 3-door FWD hatchback model.


The Lada VAZ-2108, sometimes known as the Sputnik or Samara, was Lada's first FWD car and the first car not based on the Fiat-derived mechanicals.


This is only the second VAZ-2108 on the blog and only the first on the street.

This model was the most successful Lada model sold in the UK.


Here is a picture of an earlier model VAZ-2108 Samara in the UK from wikipedia.


Back to this post's subject.

Moskvitch 2140 # 5

Here is a Moskvi(t)ch 2140, post-1982 version, in some snow-bound inner yard in Moscow.


 Recently we had this PRE-1982 Moskvitch 2140 so can now search for differences between the two.


Differences of the POST-1982 model from the PRE-1982 2140 model are the most obvious in front and include: no sign of chrome trim, no emblem - replaced by plain lettering AZLK in Russian on a plastic grille, also a plastic bumper with integrated amber turn signals and side lights (parking lights).

Pre-1982 (or about) model:


Post-1982 featured model.






Some chrome trim is left in the back though.




SL trim which stands for super luxury - an upgraded trim.

Volga GAZ-24 # 4

Here is a summery Volga GAZ-24, fourth GAZ-24 on blog so far.


"Second Series".




Moskvitch 2140

This Moskvitch 2140 is the fourth 2140 overall on blog and the third pre-1982 Moskvitch 2140.


The last true Moskvitch (aka rear-wheel drive).





The fuel cap is dead center under that square license plate flap.
