Just to say Hello!Hello everybody!Well, I'm from Russia, Moscow. My name is Dmitry and I'm 34. I have been collecting diecast for about 5 years now, Vanguards in particular and recently I've started collecting Russian cars (in 1/43 of course) as there are new models arrive to the market. I also do some simple conversions, converting base models to police vehicles. It's nice to be here!

Great to have you join us Dmitry, as long as you have a sense of humor, you should fit in just fine. You'll find there's lots of members who collect Vanguards on here, including myself now. thanks to Bassman
Looking forward to seeing some of your conversions soon. |

 Great to have you with us Dmitry, there is a lot of interest on this forum in Russian vehicles and models. I have a few and would love to see some of the new models coming onto the market over there.
You are in the right place for Vanguards information too - no shortage of Vanguards collectors here!

Hi and from sunny Manchester. ( not ) .gif)
It might be a bit wet here, but it has to be preferable to a Russian winter.
|
||||
| keesie25 |
thanksThanks for letting us know Gaz. Maybe Dmitry will invite us to come to Russia...... |
||||
| Guest |
Thank you all!!! I'm pleased very much indeed !!!!!!!!!
Our team did much better this time, although yesterday I was little bit dissapointed 
As to my nick, I used to drive Peugeot 206 and keep very warm memories of it. And sure I would be delighted to see you here, there are at least five good model shops in Moscow and one weekly die cast fair (not really good these days though), so you're unlikely to be bored 
How can I attach photos here? Shall I upload them to some internet site first?? |
||||
| Guest |
So, the conversions...
MB G-Class, based on a real vehicle. http://foto.mail.ru/mail/dimitry_a2000/1/2.html and a Chevy Niva http://foto.mail.ru/mail/dimitry_a2000/1/4.html My first and favorite Vanguards model, Minx http://foto.mail.ru/mail/dimitry_a2000/1/6.html |

 welcome DMITRI, this forum is a brilliant place to find info and to trade, and if any of us can help in any way we will
also i can see you obtaining some vanguards from our recently appointed moderator do you collect the trucks and military models as well as cars and police vehicles |
||||
| Guest |
Thank you Spenny. I have a few trucks from Cararama. And I bought them only because they were relatively cheap and in British liveries. Since the day I bought the last of them I'm thinking of widening this part of my collection
By the way, yesterday I've seen Jonsons and Bailey Volvo in some quantities in a near store (we call them Hypermarkets - a shop the size of a hangar full of everything for modest prices) |
||||
| Dave Parker |
To you Dmitry. Hypermarket the size of an aircraft hangar?  We could do with a few places like that.
|
||||
| Guest |
We just can not do anything small Look at the picture. The street was wide enough before with a boulevard and a tramway line in the middle. Now it's being rebuild with 8 (if I count them right) lanes in each direction.
|
||||
| MISTER C |
Nice to see you've got big thing's in Russia,have you seen our vinegar bottle at Blackpool
|
||||

Re: 8
Not exactly. There is a central part for those wishing to get out of the city or reach its central part faster.
|
||||
| Dave Parker |
Not been called that in ages
|
||||
| MISTER C |
Only joking Dave,but pray tell us all how's that driving job you've got(sssssh FAB 1)and have you been in the back seat
NOSEY
|
||||
| keesie25 |
lanesWell, suppose you're in lane 1, and you want to get to 8.........you have to start manouvering when that road begins. |
||||
| MISTER C |
Do what we do in Barnsley......foot down,signal,always a new car freshner at the ready.......... 
|
||||
| Dave Parker |
That's it ... let's get all the Parker jokes out of the way ... any more anyone  .gif)
|
||||
| Guest |
There are several passing places but its a nightmare anyway and the road ends with a bottleneck at the City end  There is a different authority outside Moscow which doesn't really bother about the road
|
||||
| MISTER C |
You'll do for me Dave'just send me one of your pen's

||||
| Dave Parker |
bonkers=безумный. But in a nice way. Not the insane way. |

Re: laugh
I've spent 2.5 hours crowling home through those eight lanes tonight
|
||||
| keesie25 |
pityPity, loss of time. In that period you could have restored a model for the competition. |
||||
| Guest |
I was going to finish a model with a varnish. My first repaint project. | ||||

traffic nightmare in Moscow (even 16 lanes wouldn't help)). Pictures are from www.englishrussia.com
|
||||
| keesie25 |
fakeHey Dmitry, those are fake pictures, right? |
||||
| Duncan |
Apart from a few more lanes it looks no different to the traffic I sit in every evening going home since our local council decided to 'improve' the traffic flow through our town.
|
||||
| Guest |
Re: fake
no they are true!!
|
||||
| Guest |
same s...t it's a result of a huge project aimed to make traffic easier
|
||||
| Duncan |
So Russia is not so different to the UK after all!!!!!! | ||||

DmitryIt is a comfort to see a person with so much humor fit in with this crazy bunch. Dmitry, you will be just fine here. Another big welcome.....
