Title: Russian Microcar
Post by: Chris Thomas on February 01, 2009, 10:23:02 AM

Dear Friends

Get a load of this!

While researching Russian Car museums I came accross this interesting Russian Microcar that swims.

Very interesting. but stupid! (for those that remember Rowan and Martins laugh in)

Sorry Folks

You will need to go down to Vladivostock traffic jam, click on that and scroll down again to INVALIDKA SZD

Chris- when you do a Google Image search and you end up with the image in the upper left hand corner and the web page below,
there is a link next to that image that says SEE FULL SIZE IMAGE

click that link and you get ONLY the image and would be this link:

http://englishrussia.com/images/strange_russian_car/1.jpg

(http://englishrussia.com/images/strange_russian_car/1.jpg)

Also- The direct link to the INVALID car is here:

Another tip for getting to the above link is that Google puts the entire web page in a "Frame" below and will continue to do so until you go to the RIGHT side of the page and click "remove frame" and then you can access the webpage without all the incredibly long Google stuff.

Dear Jim

Thank you for the tips and thank you for posting the image.

I think I understood your explanation, we shall see the next time I try.

Regarding the amphibious car there were a lot of additional images and information to read, much like the pages you linked for the SZD

Thanks again
