Cool old russian vehicles!

1913 Rus­sobalt Type-Kegresse



1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were pro­duced. This truck is pow­ered by gas gen­er­a­tor that used fire­wood (or coal) to pro­duce gas that pow­ers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is dif­fi­cult to ser­vice and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gaso­line in some north regions this truck was indispensable.


Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941

Pro­duced 1949–1953. This inter­est­ing car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat mini­van


This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)

variety of cool stuff from Sportschrono.com

This kid must have just gotten the best birthday ever... remember when anything with a motor was your greastest wish?
Wall of death... FAIL!

Something not working so well in the starboard turbo I think

A mix of a big wheel, a recumbant, and a pennyfarthing
Confidence... he's got it!

an off-road, gyroscopically balanced motor-bike with a caterpillar track

The Tuscan, contracted by the U.S. Forest Service, capable of climbing a 45-degree hill, featured a 20bhp single-cylinder engine with a four-speed gearbox; a front ski attachment for snow trails; and a detachable headlamp to double as a flashlight.
