Classifieds for Bytomian
Classifieds has always attracted the interest of the residents of Bytom. But so far announced were associated primarily with paper newspapers (especially Bytomskie of Life). But this is changing because of classifieds sites, which offer free posting of ads for residents of Bytom. One of these sites are announced Bytom, where you can post your ads for free in one of several categories. Users can choose from are categories such as jobs, real estate, cars or garden. Surely everyone can find something there for everyone and you can also use this as a cheaper alternative to the Allegro, so we can sell something to other residents of our city.

How To Tell If Scorpio Man Loves You
Avtorynok
This is a post, what on my mind from the very beginning of my stay in Uzbekistan, so since January. However, the concept and lacked the time to write. I know that this time also I can not exhaust the subject but merely indicate some of the issues, but I decided that Rydz better than a pigeon on the roof (and just like that!).
Conception tkowo wanted, implementing the principle of zwei Fliegen mit eine Klappe schlagen , discuss it outside the car Examples of, and nne issues related to traffic as such. Unfortunately, as circled the subject was too ambitious I decided to only a brief and selective guide to the Soviet, Russian and Uzbek automobiles.
everyone who comes to the Soviet Union is striking another automobile world, clearly distinct from that known to us from the UK and Western Europe. A common feature of all countries of the former Soviet nation is a huge amount of automobile production and Soviet Russia. In some countries the percentage is higher (Uzbekistan, Armenia), in others less (Kyrgyzstan, Georgia), but nowhere have greatly struggled to find them on the road.
will put a small division of the group post for clarity:
A. Cars
Lada
in the area are dominated by personal amochodów Lada of course, in their ranks, in particular, produced Initially the Italian Fiats license 124, which gained the term Żiguli (for personal use determined by me, the Falcon, Żigulinami, often Homeric epithet "przebrzydłe"). Lada (manufactured by WAZ - Wołżańska Automobile factory in Togliatti ВАЗ - Волжский автомобильный завод ) were imbued with numbers corresponding to each of their models. Much water has passed in Mesznie him I was able to fairly well, though without guarantees 100% sure how to figure out what numbers correspond Żigulinom. On but let's try. The oldest number, an " adinka " ("Single"), also known as "copeck" is easy to identify - you gląda the most classic (like the oldest models of the Fiat 124 and has round headlights. Mo modification to this model is the "troika " ("Three"), which was given the dual headlights and chrome nice side bar. Another is " szestjorka " ("six"), which has been revised bodywork, a round (double) headlights. Behind it stands a thin rectangular chrome "oblamówka" around the entire block of lights and registration. " Piatjorka " ("five") has been revised in relation to " szestjorki " headlights, which have become rectangular. Just changed the appearance of the rear lights. Another model was as easy to guess, " sjemiorka " ("seven"), which has been transformed from the exposed front caste m rectangular grill and lights front and rear (similar to " piatjorki ") .. And what about the " two " and " czetwiorką ? - Alert reader will ask. This riddle solved recently. Well those are the versions of the combo accordingly: " kopecks " and " piatjorki ." Different versions probably also differed in their engines mounted et al Flows' for someone, but I'm too much ignorant in this field to speak out. It follows that - for me Żiguliny differ the light me! BTW, a matter of fact I'm not even sure if all models from the " adinki " to " sjemiorki " gained the honorable title of "Żiguli.
Do list Lada models over the " sjemiorce ? Well, no. How I managed to fix the subsequent models also uzyskiwały numbers, but terribly difficult to find a person who was able to competently expound on what it exactly is. " Wasmiorka "(" eight "), otherwise a Lada Samara angular issue - three-door. " Diewjatka " ("Nine") is a five-door version of Samara. Additionally, even at 100% there is a Lada, " diesjatka " ("Ten") - rounded sedan, unless I'm mistaken, it is called a Lada Sputnik ... I was unable to determine whether a further £ models pools were given a further higher numbers - part of the interviewees said that so that even fall under the Lada models Nivy (but closer to nothing more can be extracted from them), the part that this exhausts the number ten counting. What is the truth? I will try it you jaśnić ...
I mentioned a moment ago about counter nivia . This model decided to include cars, but because the term "roadster" in relation to Nivy I do not want to go through to the end of the throat. Niv most seen in the Transcaucasus - Very popular in Karabakh. In Uzbekistan, it is not much. This car is (and even more was) very popular in Brazil, where in the 90s factory in these cars were located. Nivy models is also at least a few that are different for me, as well as Żiguliny, especially the back and front headlights. However, this model has recently undergone Lada biggest facelift - now it is served to customers under the brand name of Chevrolet - has gained a new oval shape, and bears no resemblance to previous models.
pimpowanymi Lada cars are mostly in the former Soyuz. The simplest is pimping the purchase of a white Lada (whether Żiguli - Top than " siemjorki " or Nivy) and equip it in dark glass - preferably completely black (in Uzbekistan is not p rzejdzie course: vide post about traveling in Uzbekistan , but in Armenia it's the norm) and aluminum alloy, it is best to have low-profile tires. The most complicated pimpingi is already altering the Żigulinów knight-ridery : P I refer to YT details:
In olga
G AZ - ГАЗ ( Горьковский автомобильный завод - Gorkowska Car Factory in Nizhny Novgorod)
Volga was and is the most luxurious model of Soviet and Russian automotive thinking. In times of PRL was regarded as a limo (my parents went to the Volga wedding - full of szpan!). This car, which admittedly is big - as wide as you also depended bulb with large, comfortable sofas, trunk space - a real cruiser highways! This applies to all models Volga. The first American appearance resembled a Volga car and did not seem so huge wheelbarrow. In the late 70s appeared in Volga model best known in Poland, namely the one where the black variety scare children. In the eighties changed the appearance of the front grill with chrome plastic. At the same time, I personally liked it more with plastic. But that story does not end the Volga, though its successive incarnations are virtually unknown in Poland. You can even replace the three models.
Moskvich
МЗМА ( Московский Завод Mалолитражных Aвтомобилей - Moscow Car Factory FSM)
had come down to Uzbekistan, to freely observe the vehicles on the highway. This follows naturally from the specific conditions of the country. High import tariffs have increased tremendously the value of cars, so even those with abytki move along the road. In other CIS countries the vessels have largely disappeared, except maybe ize wskiego (produced in a factory in Izhevsk under the brand That) Moskvich-412 version built pick-up.
Zaporozhets
ЗАЗ (Запорожский автомобилестроительный завод - Zaporizska Car Factory)
About this cudeńku of Ukraine, namely 968 model, I will not elaborate - any easily found on the Internet a lot of jokes about them. Review may serve as an inscription on the back of the glass holder outdistanced the fact this car, " pieszkom But no! . " Yeeaaah having Zaporozhets, the only consolation you can: P
Daewoo
Well these great rulers Uzbek roads, so well known, after the Polish 10 years earlier, could not have missed this post. Their large number in Uzbekistan due course, the existence of plants producing these wonders in this country. The eye (the fellow died in the hospital, I know) 50%, and maybe more, cars moving on the UZB ekistanie a Daewoo. Among passenger cars dominate the course Path Nexia, Matizy, Tico, and increasingly more elegant Leganzy. E are rare and spero Lanosów, so well known from the UK, or AU, you will not find at all (well, unless, in the truest way exception). There are currently no longer produced at all Tico, but they are very popular and their market prices are higher than new Matizów. The reason for this is ... their weight. Well, Tico is reportedly a lot lighter than the Matiz, which in turn greatly reduces fuel consumption. Inelegant design of these cars have no great significance to their owners.
titled this podrozdzialik Daewoo, but ought, for the sake of accuracy defined him as a Daewoo / Chevrolet, because after the fall of the Koreans, the Americans took over the company. Fan makes impression or view Matiz other craft native of Korea, with the logo of Chevrolet. Following the acquisition of Nexia has been lightly liftin recycled, which has not served her best. Old Nexia sin no beauty, but for its time in yglądała much better.
Nexia is also a favorite of local DIY bumper car-gangsterków with access to the pockets of rich daddies. The car is usually black - in contrast to the white Governance " sjemiorek ." So they are two separate gangs of car carriers, with my explicit arouse sympathy followers as archetypiczni egalitarian tribal representatives "bratańskiego", in contrast to the normally closed circle of nexii bubkowatych snobs.
B. Vans / buses
Gazelle
here unless there is no doubt that this category is dominated by Gazelles and their name for many in the former Sajuzie has become synonymous with car about this version of the body (as in Poland, with bicycles and adidasami;)). Gazelles śmigają as minibuses, dostawczaki, ambulances, etc. The designers obviously inspired by the appearance Ford Transit and a skilled eye can distinguish between the two st anowić problem - especially from behind. But it is the way! Ga gels are designed for heavier traffic conditions and the increased load (I think everyone knows that the Gazelle enter two of three times more passengers than there are densely arranged seats), as reflected in the rear axle equipped with a car with four wheels, not two, as is the case in Transitach. Needless to say, that the Gazelles are also a lot of Transitów toporniejsze, but it's probably cheaper and easier to repair (with the equipment Russian provenance and famous yet!). One thing annoys me immensely / surprising (wrong word, because in the East hardly anything surprises me, and even more annoying - the man all the time would have to be nervous - loss of life!) In Gazelach-marszrutkach, namely, placing the outer side sliding door handle. The handle is not, as might be expected beckon to the right, looking from the outside (opening doors, they move away to the left), but further, the left side. To deceive, of course, was placed on the right side of the door handle, which many take as a handle. Thus, often Door G Azelia obklejone are arrows depicting where the opening. Of course, folks anyway have problems with opening and angry drivers and their passengers waste of precious time. Needless to say, that very often the relationship on the line driver minibuses (usually also the owner of the car) - the passenger e are tight! I am not surprised there: to let the whole rabble passenger to his own car ... Scandal! Returning to the door opener, for contrast, the inner door handle is placed logically, that is on the left side looking from inside the car. Oh, such a joke constructors;) Selfless human malice knows no bounds. Probably curl up into a fist when he saw passengers looking instinctively handle on the right side of the door leading to the crazy drivers Gazelle. At least I almost always sag at this sight: P
BTW, a few years ago (say, three) The supply of Gazelle on our roads would be treated as an event but amazing how spostr zeżenie Zila-130 (which of course continue ) in the reversed colors: white cab with a blue mask. It is now these vehicles are quite a lot - I mean Gazelle in Poland of course, because the ZIL-az inverted colors still waiting: P
Damas
specificity of Uzbekistan is that as minibuses are very popular vehicles production of Daewoo, which Damasy, called affectionately by us Damaszkami. These are typical Asian inventions, which is a tiny mini-buses with mixer jscami seating for 6 people (including the driver), which obviously did not bother to load them up to twice the human population. As you look at these cars floating around on the flat surface of the road, this one has the impression that just one wykolebocze aside. Similarly, he must keep up with high winds. However, I admit, have never in my life I did not know that it met such a fate. Apparently, married with a low center of gravity placement:)
UAZ 452
УАЗ ( Ульяновский автомобильный завод - Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory)
in this area should also mention UAZ-452 s, popularly called "buchankami", or loaves, because actually resemble the shape of a loaf of bread toasting. These cars are a middle way between the bus / dostawczakiem a jeep. They come because of the ability to switch the drive from two to four wheels. You can not say I fell in love with this car from the pier wszego sight, because it is not especially handsome, but after what we presented Dagwa while in Mongolia a few years ago, there was a desire in me! I want to have a UAZ-452! Well maybe someday ...: P
NOW, RAF and Polish accents
a UAZ-452 should not be confused with another miracle, the Soviet automobile tion dostawczo-person obłego shape, or NOW-I ( ЕрАЗ - Ереванский Автомобильный Завод - Erywańska Car Factory). They are rarely seen on the roads, mostly in Armenia, which is not surprising, after all, were produced in Yerevan.
In this area you can not forget the cars make RAF ( РАФ - Рижская Автобусная Фабрика / Rīgas Bus Fabrika - Riga Bus Factory), which were produced in Latvia. A lot of them still goes on Armenia, in other regions of the former USSR are rare - I've never seen them in the home Riga!
Mention I have to the popularity of the former Polish vehicles - Zuk and Neisse in the former Soviet Union. You can still see its legacy yet. I had the enormous pleasure to so far in the Transcaucasus and Central Asia. These are unfortunately the only cars made in Poland, which can be seen on the highways of the Soviet Union. I've never seen in the area of \u200b\u200bthe USSR Polish buses (except Solarisami in Riga and Vilnius - but it's not for me, so full fledged Soviet Union: P), trucks and passenger cars. BTW, I do not know at what stage is the issue of buying Solaria for urban transport in Tbilisi ...
C. Samochody terenowe
Tutaj się nie będę wielce rozpisywał. Oczywiście niekwestionowanym królem jest UAZ 469 we swych wszystkich inkarnacjach. Samochód prosty i twardy, bez atłasów i wygód. Idealny żeby wjechać w błoto, albo przygrzmocić w inną maszynę bez rozmyślania o ewentualnych zadrapaniach czy wgnieceniach (vide: przejście graniczne MO-CHN Zamyn-Uud/Erenhot).
Drugim wehikułem jest wciąż widoczny gdzie niegdzie GAZ 69 .
D. Ciężarówki
in this category should be recorded following a wheelbarrow: Kamazy that are even nienajgorszymi cars, pathetic in its clumsiness ZIL-130 y and GAZ-53 y phenomena, which a clear assessment of MAZ-y and powerful KrAZ s and Ural .
Kamaz
КАМАЗ ( Камский автомобильный завод - Kamska Car Factory)
Kamazów needs no introduction, a company well known throughout the world, whose team prevailed on several occasions in the Paris-Dakar rally. Machines with Tatarstan occur in all possible variations: the military transporters by trucks or tractors mixer at the end.
These cars are sent to the worst parts of mountainous Central Asia and the Transcaucasus, where the overloaded to the breaking point Osiek and the engine carrying deadly strenuous pace their goods. Drivers are often not able to develop a rate greater than 10 km / h, thus overcoming the gap is even a small number of hours of driving. In such conditions it is difficult to przysnąć Kamaz and slip into the abyss. Just a typical Siberian history lone drivers Kamazów - referring to Motosyberii . But then, as I Kamaz jump onto a flat surface, and there is no or little charge, the ordinary żuczkom woe! Leader turns on the wipers paw on the horn, the potentiometer wyjąco-trzeszczącego tape turned to maximum, but on the gas pedal and get moving! Tremble Żiguliny, Ziliszcza and other Volga! The real king is coming! In this context, I recommend hitchhiking from Kamazowcami from Goris-Stepanakert. Already twice I was able to survive the raids Kamaz on this winding road, and this is a great attraction (of course, could be a coincidence: P)! Rollercoaster gets off! Especially if one goes in the cab for 4 people, leaning on the door at any moment can be opened under pressure tossed force of inertia bodies. At every turn to the left, the man wants to be sought in this piece of chair that is given to him to sit, you want to weld, pin stripes, which do not, grab the handle detached, desperate to restore an illusory control over their lives and it's all in translation ciekawskiemu driver, which has brought so far Pole in hand, he knows where the Russian language and how it's even possible to live, like a savage in a tent and ride, as the grandfather supplicatory to rate!? (This description should contain the description of the residence in Karabakh, but somehow could not find : P I guess I had to digest the whole situation in my head)
130 ZIL and GAZ 53
ZIL-130 y ( ЗИЛ-130 - Завод имени Лихачёва - Department name Lichaczowa ) and GAZ-53 y for my use tentatively called, respectively, and Gazonami Ziliszczami, automobiles, which to the untrained eye are not different. Hence, they are thrown into one bag with badge ZIL. It is an error, but excusable, because in fact the distinction of these trucks is not easy. Both cars have similar structure and dimensions of the cab of the vehicle. Were released in two identical colors: khaki and blue and white (white is the "front-end" motor housing). In addition, both models look blocky, drags on relentlessly, their engines seem to like the sound of a characteristic repeated five times every 5 seconds pierdnięcio door-hiss: trsssss (where "tr", as in the expression of sawdust and the rest as the hissing snake)!
But! Surprisingly, These cars differ not only in name! ZIL 130 is a 3.5-ton truck, while the GAZ-53 only 2.5 ton. I agree that it's difficult at first specimen noted the missing ton, so try to give some "secondary or isation characteristics of quality," both cars, after which it will be easier for you to be distinguished:
Feature # 1 - position of the front grill bars .
GAZ-e in the front grille is formed by vertically stacked bars - the exceptions to this rule have not seen, indeed not I remember now. ZIL, in turn, is equipped with a fancy grill pattern, in which the crossbars are arranged horizontally, however - it is possible to design several variants, but determines the horizontal arrangement of bars.
Feature No. 2 - shaping the housing front wheels.
This feature very important to help you identify the car brand with visibility from the rear half-profile or profile! At the same time very difficult to explain. The GAZ-edged front wheel housing is more arched to the top than the ZIL-edged. This gives an effect such that more surface plate is visible above the wheel, when we look at the car from the side. In addition, wheel arch ZIL-a is milder compared to the curved Gazońskiego and feature a thicker "tab on the edge of the plate wheel arch. Feature No. 2 connects to the feature # 3:
Feature # 3 - side blinkers on the wheel arches.
Due to the shape of the wheel arches, namely the sheet bend and the distance from the edge of the bend wheel arches, present a slightly different indicators of both cars. ZIL indicators s are embedded in a curve, bending sheet metal passing smoothly from the vertical plane to horizontal - for this reason protrude slightly upward. GAZ has more lateral surface wheel arches, as was noted above, so that the lamp shades are directed horizontally.
Feature # 4 - Ventilation slots on the mask.
ZIL s mask is fitted with horizontal ventilation slots on its side surfaces near the hinge. GAZ-y do not have such holes. In addition, ZIL-mask and it seems to be more arched, but honestly, I reserve that could be Jeno illusion!
Feature No. 5 - filler.
This element is particularly characteristic of the GAZ-s. The infusion of a case is always placed behind the door of the driver and takes a rather crude form of projecting, gently stand off to the side tubes topped with a stopper. In the case of ZIL-s fuel poured into the hole usually by a screw cut directly into the wall of the tank cover.
Feature No. 6 - the shape of the door.
lawn doors are rounded up, while Ziliszcza - completed are two right angles. The upper part of the door and side windows ZIL-and are shaped rectangle, while in the case of GAS-and they are similar to the trapezoid shape, which covers only one side of his height (light: P). The GAZ-e top (in ęższa) of the door moves smoothly into the lower (wider), while the Zil-e for the same purpose used a special bow.
Feature No. 7 - the attachment of the door.
Door in the ZIL-s are fitted with a visible, protruding hinges. In the case of a GAZ-married with a more aesthetic solution - call hiding in the stove.
Feature No. 8 - circuit headlights.
This is characteristic of a tertiary or quaternary and and it has an absolute charter. Well, all of GAZ's that we've seen have the following system of lights on the "front panel" flashing lights placed above the headlights. A similar system is the vast majority of ZIL-s, however, exceptions appearing - you can see the ZIL-yz reverse system - indicators are below the headlights .
Feature No. 9 - the type of vehicle.
Due to the fact that ZIL-y are more powerful than GAZ-s, also feature a more diverse body types. You can find a GAZ-equipped with a lift, but not in a construction crane. There I met also with the GAZ-s dump trucks and tractors. In addition, ZIL-130 may act as triaxial - usually as a construction crane.
WARNING!
In determining the above mentioned species, it is desirable to preserve the revolutionary vigilance, because many elements from both cars are mutually compatible, and even the ability of Soviet mechanics equipped a hammer and a welder in the world-famous. We must therefore reckon with the existence of individuals, ambiguous, and therefore equipped with the qualities Ziliszcza and lawn. In this case, only the prominent subject experts, after examination vehicles are able to decide which features predominate species and on this basis zdeterminować brand car!
Here a small presentation, which GAZ ZIL-yi-y can, if you sit at the controls for their capable leader:
I will not elaborate here, because small picture of a topic, a more powerful Ziłach 131, which are often used by the military or as fire engines and new versions of GAZ-s (with angular szoferkami).
MAZ
МАЗ ( Минский автомобильный завод - Minsk Automobile Factory)
Belarusian These trucks are also very widespread in the former Soviet Union. I've seen a lot of them also in northern Iran (next ZIL-s 130). There are also in our country. Versatility of its applications like Kamazy, though they gained so many uses. I have not seen even never MAZ-s version of the military (I will not mention here of powerful kilkuosiowych "wszędołazach" rocket carriers.) MAZ-y Fits are popular as a tractor unit, perhaps even more than Kamazy. Moreover, you can often meet trucks and cranes. And it is the latter I wish to devote a bit more space. The construction cranes, truck MAZ hook attaches to the hitch is placed under the front bumper of the car. Commonly can be found cranes - MAZ-y with unnaturally raised from the front cab. I think this is a result of its break by the crane operator, who pulled the hook too hard after his podczepieniu. It must be a structural defect in the car, because the cranes affixed to the other body builders: ZIL-oh and do not cause elevation Kamazach cab and do not deceive myself that their operators are more cautious;)
KrAZ and Ural
KrAZ ( Kremenchug Automobile Plant - Krzemieńczugska Fabryka Samochodów)
Ural ( Ural Automobile Plant - Uralska Fabryka Samochodów)
Pod tymi markami produced powerful machine. Old KrAZ-y sprawiały particularly the impression that these engines were mounted in the tanks. Current models are much zgrabniejsze, but still their design reveals the power inherent in these machines. The same impression I have on the Urals.
noteworthy in the category of trucks are also GAZ-66 y .
E. Buses
Please note, this category will be the darkest road monsters: PAZ-y, y, and GAZ-LAZ-y (s LiAZ forgive myself, though it must be acknowledged that these vehicles are quite good). A specific feature of Uzbekistan is the Isuzu.
PAZ
ПАЗ ( Павловский автобусный завод - Pawlowska Bus Factory)
buses PAZ brand called Pazikami are automobile tragedy, especially Model 672 . I had the opportunity several times to drive the vehicle and each time have enjoyed as a child, I do not have those złomami commute to work / school / wherever ... drags the "toto" mercilessly - bike is probably faster, at most, less comfortable ... God forbid sit in the back seat - a man feels like was in the oven with the blower. For this noise unbearable. Admittedly, that one should not expect anything else after the first glance, these automotive marvels: P Paziki have a rounded shape and the body in the "transition" sides "of the roof were put the window through which you would observe the sky, if they were not painted / sealed with adhesive tape / mortgaged plywood or sheet metal: PZ PAZ s driving but you can pull something positive - namely, I noticed that our old Polish Autosan H9 are not so bad : P
never rode no later PAZ-a model, PAZ-I-3205 which is even smaller than its predecessor and looks a little or no incentive to travel ... but I hope that one day and catch up the arrearage.
KAwZ-685
КАвЗ-685 ( Курганский Автобусный Завод - Kurgańska Bus Factory)
KAwZ his monstrosity can compete with PAZ-I . Both vehicles will compete for the title of perhaps the world's slowest bus. Additionally KawZ is even worse in terms of external appearance. Front borrowed because the truck GAZ 53, to which was added ended Oble abdomen, in which passengers sit ... KAwZ-a peculiarity is that the front doors of the cab on the right side, which includes passengers are not equipped to handle the outside - you see it can only open the driver using a special "doormat"? Please advice if anyone has met with such a solution in other vehicles:)
LAZ-699
ЛАЗ-699 (Львовский автобусный завод - Lviv Bus Factory)
about these buses only remember the sentiment of the city. For they were produced in this city and is often referred to as Lwowów. They remind me of our above-mentioned Autos (not necessarily looks), but its size and performance.
Isuzu
I mention them only because they dominate the bus segment of Uzbekistan. They are small (the size of PAZ-A-3205) vehicles, which are produced in Samarkand. In addition to Mercedes are part taszkenckiego MPK: P peacocks are always overloaded, have narrow doors and almost always squeal when braking: P But generally give advice;)
That would be enough ...
in any way about not been exhausted. Many machines were not submitted at all or only briefly. I hope that my knowledge of Soviet and Russian vehicles will increase with the passage of time ...
Despite buckets of criticism that poured on most vehicles shown here, I would like to ensure that they all (except the Daewoo) having my arouse sympathy and happy smile on his face, as soon as the time horizon. Many of these cars is the object of my dreams and I hope that someday I'll be the one of them to have:)
I'm not talking only about the great Volga with a V8 engine:
This is a post, what on my mind from the very beginning of my stay in Uzbekistan, so since January. However, the concept and lacked the time to write. I know that this time also I can not exhaust the subject but merely indicate some of the issues, but I decided that Rydz better than a pigeon on the roof (and just like that!).
Conception tkowo wanted, implementing the principle of zwei Fliegen mit eine Klappe schlagen , discuss it outside the car Examples of, and nne issues related to traffic as such. Unfortunately, as circled the subject was too ambitious I decided to only a brief and selective guide to the Soviet, Russian and Uzbek automobiles.
everyone who comes to the Soviet Union is striking another automobile world, clearly distinct from that known to us from the UK and Western Europe. A common feature of all countries of the former Soviet nation is a huge amount of automobile production and Soviet Russia. In some countries the percentage is higher (Uzbekistan, Armenia), in others less (Kyrgyzstan, Georgia), but nowhere have greatly struggled to find them on the road.
will put a small division of the group post for clarity:
A. Cars
Lada
in the area are dominated by personal amochodów Lada of course, in their ranks, in particular, produced Initially the Italian Fiats license 124, which gained the term Żiguli (for personal use determined by me, the Falcon, Żigulinami, often Homeric epithet "przebrzydłe").

Behind it stands a thin rectangular chrome "oblamówka" around the entire block of lights and registration. " Piatjorka " ("five") has been revised in relation to " szestjorki " headlights, which have become rectangular. Just changed the appearance of the rear lights. Another model was as easy to guess, " sjemiorka " ("seven"), which has been transformed from the exposed front caste m rectangular grill and lights front and rear (similar to " piatjorki ") ..

The most complicated pimpingi is already altering the Żigulinów knight-ridery : P I refer to YT details:

G AZ - ГАЗ ( Горьковский автомобильный завод - Gorkowska Car Factory in Nizhny Novgorod)
Volga was and is the most luxurious model of Soviet and Russian automotive thinking. In times of PRL was regarded as a limo (my parents went to the Volga wedding - full of szpan!). This car, which admittedly is big - as wide as you also depended bulb with large, comfortable sofas, trunk space - a real cruiser highways! This applies to all models Volga. The first American appearance resembled a Volga car and did not seem so huge wheelbarrow. In the late 70s appeared in Volga model best known in Poland, namely the one where the black variety scare children. In the eighties changed the appearance of the front grill with chrome plastic. At the same time, I personally liked it more with plastic. But that story does not end the Volga, though its successive incarnations are virtually unknown in Poland. You can even replace the three models.
Moskvich
МЗМА ( Московский Завод Mалолитражных Aвтомобилей - Moscow Car Factory FSM)
had come down to Uzbekistan, to freely observe the vehicles on the highway. This follows naturally from the specific conditions of the country. High import tariffs have increased tremendously the value of cars, so even those with abytki move along the road. In other CIS countries the vessels have largely disappeared, except maybe ize wskiego (produced in a factory in Izhevsk under the brand That) Moskvich-412 version built pick-up.
Zaporozhets
ЗАЗ (Запорожский автомобилестроительный завод - Zaporizska Car Factory)
About this cudeńku of Ukraine, namely 968 model, I will not elaborate - any easily found on the Internet a lot of jokes about them. Review may serve as an inscription on the back of the glass holder outdistanced the fact this car, " pieszkom But no! . " Yeeaaah having Zaporozhets, the only consolation you can: P
Daewoo
Well these great rulers Uzbek roads, so well known, after the Polish 10 years earlier, could not have missed this post. Their large number in Uzbekistan due course, the existence of plants producing these wonders in this country. The eye (the fellow died in the hospital, I know) 50%, and maybe more, cars moving on the UZB ekistanie a Daewoo. Among passenger cars dominate the course Path Nexia, Matizy, Tico, and increasingly more elegant Leganzy. E are rare and spero Lanosów, so well known from the UK, or AU, you will not find at all (well, unless, in the truest way exception). There are currently no longer produced at all Tico, but they are very popular and their market prices are higher than new Matizów. The reason for this is ... their weight. Well, Tico is reportedly a lot lighter than the Matiz, which in turn greatly reduces fuel consumption. Inelegant design of these cars have no great significance to their owners.
titled this podrozdzialik Daewoo, but ought, for the sake of accuracy defined him as a Daewoo / Chevrolet, because after the fall of the Koreans, the Americans took over the company. Fan makes impression or view Matiz other craft native of Korea, with the logo of Chevrolet. Following the acquisition of Nexia has been lightly liftin recycled, which has not served her best. Old Nexia sin no beauty, but for its time in yglądała much better.
Nexia is also a favorite of local DIY bumper car-gangsterków with access to the pockets of rich daddies. The car is usually black - in contrast to the white Governance " sjemiorek ." So they are two separate gangs of car carriers, with my explicit arouse sympathy followers as archetypiczni egalitarian tribal representatives "bratańskiego", in contrast to the normally closed circle of nexii bubkowatych snobs.
B. Vans / buses
Gazelle
here unless there is no doubt that this category is dominated by Gazelles and their name for many in the former Sajuzie has become synonymous with car about this version of the body (as in Poland, with bicycles and adidasami;)). Gazelles śmigają as minibuses, dostawczaki, ambulances, etc. The designers obviously inspired by the appearance Ford Transit and a skilled eye can distinguish between the two st anowić problem - especially from behind. But it is the way! Ga gels are designed for heavier traffic conditions and the increased load (I think everyone knows that the Gazelle enter two of three times more passengers than there are densely arranged seats), as reflected in the rear axle equipped with a car with four wheels, not two, as is the case in Transitach. Needless to say, that the Gazelles are also a lot of Transitów toporniejsze, but it's probably cheaper and easier to repair (with the equipment Russian provenance and famous yet!). One thing annoys me immensely / surprising (wrong word, because in the East hardly anything surprises me, and even more annoying - the man all the time would have to be nervous - loss of life!) In Gazelach-marszrutkach, namely, placing the outer side sliding door handle. The handle is not, as might be expected beckon to the right, looking from the outside (opening doors, they move away to the left), but further, the left side. To deceive, of course, was placed on the right side of the door handle, which many take as a handle. Thus, often Door G Azelia obklejone are arrows depicting where the opening. Of course, folks anyway have problems with opening and angry drivers and their passengers waste of precious time. Needless to say, that very often the relationship on the line driver minibuses (usually also the owner of the car) - the passenger e are tight! I am not surprised there: to let the whole rabble passenger to his own car ... Scandal! Returning to the door opener, for contrast, the inner door handle is placed logically, that is on the left side looking from inside the car. Oh, such a joke constructors;) Selfless human malice knows no bounds. Probably curl up into a fist when he saw passengers looking instinctively handle on the right side of the door leading to the crazy drivers Gazelle. At least I almost always sag at this sight: P
BTW, a few years ago (say, three) The supply of Gazelle on our roads would be treated as an event but amazing how spostr zeżenie Zila-130 (which of course continue ) in the reversed colors: white cab with a blue mask. It is now these vehicles are quite a lot - I mean Gazelle in Poland of course, because the ZIL-az inverted colors still waiting: P
Damas
specificity of Uzbekistan is that as minibuses are very popular vehicles production of Daewoo, which Damasy, called affectionately by us Damaszkami. These are typical Asian inventions, which is a tiny mini-buses with mixer jscami seating for 6 people (including the driver), which obviously did not bother to load them up to twice the human population. As you look at these cars floating around on the flat surface of the road, this one has the impression that just one wykolebocze aside. Similarly, he must keep up with high winds. However, I admit, have never in my life I did not know that it met such a fate. Apparently, married with a low center of gravity placement:)
UAZ 452
УАЗ ( Ульяновский автомобильный завод - Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory)
in this area should also mention UAZ-452 s, popularly called "buchankami", or loaves, because actually resemble the shape of a loaf of bread toasting. These cars are a middle way between the bus / dostawczakiem a jeep. They come because of the ability to switch the drive from two to four wheels. You can not say I fell in love with this car from the pier wszego sight, because it is not especially handsome, but after what we presented Dagwa while in Mongolia a few years ago, there was a desire in me! I want to have a UAZ-452! Well maybe someday ...: P
NOW, RAF and Polish accents
a UAZ-452 should not be confused with another miracle, the Soviet automobile tion dostawczo-person obłego shape, or NOW-I ( ЕрАЗ - Ереванский Автомобильный Завод - Erywańska Car Factory). They are rarely seen on the roads, mostly in Armenia, which is not surprising, after all, were produced in Yerevan.
In this area you can not forget the cars make RAF ( РАФ - Рижская Автобусная Фабрика / Rīgas Bus Fabrika - Riga Bus Factory), which were produced in Latvia. A lot of them still goes on Armenia, in other regions of the former USSR are rare - I've never seen them in the home Riga!
Mention I have to the popularity of the former Polish vehicles - Zuk and Neisse in the former Soviet Union. You can still see its legacy yet. I had the enormous pleasure to so far in the Transcaucasus and Central Asia. These are unfortunately the only cars made in Poland, which can be seen on the highways of the Soviet Union. I've never seen in the area of \u200b\u200bthe USSR Polish buses (except Solarisami in Riga and Vilnius - but it's not for me, so full fledged Soviet Union: P), trucks and passenger cars. BTW, I do not know at what stage is the issue of buying Solaria for urban transport in Tbilisi ...
C. Samochody terenowe
Tutaj się nie będę wielce rozpisywał. Oczywiście niekwestionowanym królem jest UAZ 469 we swych wszystkich inkarnacjach. Samochód prosty i twardy, bez atłasów i wygód. Idealny żeby wjechać w błoto, albo przygrzmocić w inną maszynę bez rozmyślania o ewentualnych zadrapaniach czy wgnieceniach (vide: przejście graniczne MO-CHN Zamyn-Uud/Erenhot).
Drugim wehikułem jest wciąż widoczny gdzie niegdzie GAZ 69 .
D. Ciężarówki
in this category should be recorded following a wheelbarrow: Kamazy that are even nienajgorszymi cars, pathetic in its clumsiness ZIL-130 y and GAZ-53 y phenomena, which a clear assessment of MAZ-y and powerful KrAZ s and Ural .
Kamaz
КАМАЗ ( Камский автомобильный завод - Kamska Car Factory)
Kamazów needs no introduction, a company well known throughout the world, whose team prevailed on several occasions in the Paris-Dakar rally. Machines with Tatarstan occur in all possible variations: the military transporters by trucks or tractors mixer at the end.
These cars are sent to the worst parts of mountainous Central Asia and the Transcaucasus, where the overloaded to the breaking point Osiek and the engine carrying deadly strenuous pace their goods. Drivers are often not able to develop a rate greater than 10 km / h, thus overcoming the gap is even a small number of hours of driving. In such conditions it is difficult to przysnąć Kamaz and slip into the abyss. Just a typical Siberian history lone drivers Kamazów - referring to Motosyberii . But then, as I Kamaz jump onto a flat surface, and there is no or little charge, the ordinary żuczkom woe! Leader turns on the wipers paw on the horn, the potentiometer wyjąco-trzeszczącego tape turned to maximum, but on the gas pedal and get moving! Tremble Żiguliny, Ziliszcza and other Volga! The real king is coming! In this context, I recommend hitchhiking from Kamazowcami from Goris-Stepanakert. Already twice I was able to survive the raids Kamaz on this winding road, and this is a great attraction (of course, could be a coincidence: P)! Rollercoaster gets off! Especially if one goes in the cab for 4 people, leaning on the door at any moment can be opened under pressure tossed force of inertia bodies. At every turn to the left, the man wants to be sought in this piece of chair that is given to him to sit, you want to weld, pin stripes, which do not, grab the handle detached, desperate to restore an illusory control over their lives and it's all in translation ciekawskiemu driver, which has brought so far Pole in hand, he knows where the Russian language and how it's even possible to live, like a savage in a tent and ride, as the grandfather supplicatory to rate!? (This description should contain the description of the residence in Karabakh, but somehow could not find : P I guess I had to digest the whole situation in my head)
130 ZIL and GAZ 53
ZIL-130 y ( ЗИЛ-130 - Завод имени Лихачёва - Department name Lichaczowa ) and GAZ-53 y for my use tentatively called, respectively, and Gazonami Ziliszczami, automobiles, which to the untrained eye are not different. Hence, they are thrown into one bag with badge ZIL. It is an error, but excusable, because in fact the distinction of these trucks is not easy. Both cars have similar structure and dimensions of the cab of the vehicle. Were released in two identical colors: khaki and blue and white (white is the "front-end" motor housing). In addition, both models look blocky, drags on relentlessly, their engines seem to like the sound of a characteristic repeated five times every 5 seconds pierdnięcio door-hiss: trsssss (where "tr", as in the expression of sawdust and the rest as the hissing snake)!
But! Surprisingly, These cars differ not only in name! ZIL 130 is a 3.5-ton truck, while the GAZ-53 only 2.5 ton. I agree that it's difficult at first specimen noted the missing ton, so try to give some "secondary or isation characteristics of quality," both cars, after which it will be easier for you to be distinguished:
Feature # 1 - position of the front grill bars .
GAZ-e in the front grille is formed by vertically stacked bars - the exceptions to this rule have not seen, indeed not I remember now. ZIL, in turn, is equipped with a fancy grill pattern, in which the crossbars are arranged horizontally, however - it is possible to design several variants, but determines the horizontal arrangement of bars.
Feature No. 2 - shaping the housing front wheels.
This feature very important to help you identify the car brand with visibility from the rear half-profile or profile! At the same time very difficult to explain. The GAZ-edged front wheel housing is more arched to the top than the ZIL-edged. This gives an effect such that more surface plate is visible above the wheel, when we look at the car from the side. In addition, wheel arch ZIL-a is milder compared to the curved Gazońskiego and feature a thicker "tab on the edge of the plate wheel arch. Feature No. 2 connects to the feature # 3:
Feature # 3 - side blinkers on the wheel arches.
Due to the shape of the wheel arches, namely the sheet bend and the distance from the edge of the bend wheel arches, present a slightly different indicators of both cars. ZIL indicators s are embedded in a curve, bending sheet metal passing smoothly from the vertical plane to horizontal - for this reason protrude slightly upward. GAZ has more lateral surface wheel arches, as was noted above, so that the lamp shades are directed horizontally.
Feature # 4 - Ventilation slots on the mask.
ZIL s mask is fitted with horizontal ventilation slots on its side surfaces near the hinge. GAZ-y do not have such holes. In addition, ZIL-mask and it seems to be more arched, but honestly, I reserve that could be Jeno illusion!
Feature No. 5 - filler.
This element is particularly characteristic of the GAZ-s. The infusion of a case is always placed behind the door of the driver and takes a rather crude form of projecting, gently stand off to the side tubes topped with a stopper. In the case of ZIL-s fuel poured into the hole usually by a screw cut directly into the wall of the tank cover.
Feature No. 6 - the shape of the door.
lawn doors are rounded up, while Ziliszcza - completed are two right angles. The upper part of the door and side windows ZIL-and are shaped rectangle, while in the case of GAS-and they are similar to the trapezoid shape, which covers only one side of his height (light: P). The GAZ-e top (in ęższa) of the door moves smoothly into the lower (wider), while the Zil-e for the same purpose used a special bow.
Feature No. 7 - the attachment of the door.
Door in the ZIL-s are fitted with a visible, protruding hinges. In the case of a GAZ-married with a more aesthetic solution - call hiding in the stove.
Feature No. 8 - circuit headlights.
This is characteristic of a tertiary or quaternary and and it has an absolute charter. Well, all of GAZ's that we've seen have the following system of lights on the "front panel" flashing lights placed above the headlights. A similar system is the vast majority of ZIL-s, however, exceptions appearing - you can see the ZIL-yz reverse system - indicators are below the headlights .
Feature No. 9 - the type of vehicle.
Due to the fact that ZIL-y are more powerful than GAZ-s, also feature a more diverse body types. You can find a GAZ-equipped with a lift, but not in a construction crane. There I met also with the GAZ-s dump trucks and tractors. In addition, ZIL-130 may act as triaxial - usually as a construction crane.
WARNING!
In determining the above mentioned species, it is desirable to preserve the revolutionary vigilance, because many elements from both cars are mutually compatible, and even the ability of Soviet mechanics equipped a hammer and a welder in the world-famous. We must therefore reckon with the existence of individuals, ambiguous, and therefore equipped with the qualities Ziliszcza and lawn. In this case, only the prominent subject experts, after examination vehicles are able to decide which features predominate species and on this basis zdeterminować brand car!
Here a small presentation, which GAZ ZIL-yi-y can, if you sit at the controls for their capable leader:
I will not elaborate here, because small picture of a topic, a more powerful Ziłach 131, which are often used by the military or as fire engines and new versions of GAZ-s (with angular szoferkami).
MAZ
МАЗ ( Минский автомобильный завод - Minsk Automobile Factory)
Belarusian These trucks are also very widespread in the former Soviet Union. I've seen a lot of them also in northern Iran (next ZIL-s 130). There are also in our country. Versatility of its applications like Kamazy, though they gained so many uses. I have not seen even never MAZ-s version of the military (I will not mention here of powerful kilkuosiowych "wszędołazach" rocket carriers.) MAZ-y Fits are popular as a tractor unit, perhaps even more than Kamazy. Moreover, you can often meet trucks and cranes. And it is the latter I wish to devote a bit more space. The construction cranes, truck MAZ hook attaches to the hitch is placed under the front bumper of the car. Commonly can be found cranes - MAZ-y with unnaturally raised from the front cab. I think this is a result of its break by the crane operator, who pulled the hook too hard after his podczepieniu. It must be a structural defect in the car, because the cranes affixed to the other body builders: ZIL-oh and do not cause elevation Kamazach cab and do not deceive myself that their operators are more cautious;)
KrAZ and Ural
KrAZ ( Kremenchug Automobile Plant - Krzemieńczugska Fabryka Samochodów)
Ural ( Ural Automobile Plant - Uralska Fabryka Samochodów)
Pod tymi markami produced powerful machine. Old KrAZ-y sprawiały particularly the impression that these engines were mounted in the tanks. Current models are much zgrabniejsze, but still their design reveals the power inherent in these machines. The same impression I have on the Urals.
noteworthy in the category of trucks are also GAZ-66 y .
E. Buses
Please note, this category will be the darkest road monsters: PAZ-y, y, and GAZ-LAZ-y (s LiAZ forgive myself, though it must be acknowledged that these vehicles are quite good). A specific feature of Uzbekistan is the Isuzu.
PAZ
ПАЗ ( Павловский автобусный завод - Pawlowska Bus Factory)
buses PAZ brand called Pazikami are automobile tragedy, especially Model 672 . I had the opportunity several times to drive the vehicle and each time have enjoyed as a child, I do not have those złomami commute to work / school / wherever ... drags the "toto" mercilessly - bike is probably faster, at most, less comfortable ... God forbid sit in the back seat - a man feels like was in the oven with the blower. For this noise unbearable. Admittedly, that one should not expect anything else after the first glance, these automotive marvels: P Paziki have a rounded shape and the body in the "transition" sides "of the roof were put the window through which you would observe the sky, if they were not painted / sealed with adhesive tape / mortgaged plywood or sheet metal: PZ PAZ s driving but you can pull something positive - namely, I noticed that our old Polish Autosan H9 are not so bad : P
never rode no later PAZ-a model, PAZ-I-3205 which is even smaller than its predecessor and looks a little or no incentive to travel ... but I hope that one day and catch up the arrearage.
KAwZ-685
КАвЗ-685 ( Курганский Автобусный Завод - Kurgańska Bus Factory)
KAwZ his monstrosity can compete with PAZ-I . Both vehicles will compete for the title of perhaps the world's slowest bus. Additionally KawZ is even worse in terms of external appearance. Front borrowed because the truck GAZ 53, to which was added ended Oble abdomen, in which passengers sit ... KAwZ-a peculiarity is that the front doors of the cab on the right side, which includes passengers are not equipped to handle the outside - you see it can only open the driver using a special "doormat"? Please advice if anyone has met with such a solution in other vehicles:)
LAZ-699
ЛАЗ-699 (Львовский автобусный завод - Lviv Bus Factory)
about these buses only remember the sentiment of the city. For they were produced in this city and is often referred to as Lwowów. They remind me of our above-mentioned Autos (not necessarily looks), but its size and performance.
Isuzu
I mention them only because they dominate the bus segment of Uzbekistan. They are small (the size of PAZ-A-3205) vehicles, which are produced in Samarkand. In addition to Mercedes are part taszkenckiego MPK: P peacocks are always overloaded, have narrow doors and almost always squeal when braking: P But generally give advice;)
That would be enough ...
in any way about not been exhausted. Many machines were not submitted at all or only briefly. I hope that my knowledge of Soviet and Russian vehicles will increase with the passage of time ...
Despite buckets of criticism that poured on most vehicles shown here, I would like to ensure that they all (except the Daewoo) having my arouse sympathy and happy smile on his face, as soon as the time horizon. Many of these cars is the object of my dreams and I hope that someday I'll be the one of them to have:)
I'm not talking only about the great Volga with a V8 engine:
