  1. Thank you.

    Neat looking churches. All that nations you noted relate to Katholic religion that is a bit different from what is most usual in Russia. So you can note it as a difference of church architecture.

    I was in Lithuania this past summer and one more previous year.

    Like Baltic sea and pine forests. And the fact that most people there speaking Russian :)

  2. The cheapness of your carriers doesn't make happyness at all.

    There is the export company in Secaucus NJ 07094, they are ready to ship heavy stuff to me for $2.5 per kilo.

    And I haven't tested this well enough.

    My R has 5.02's so I might be interest to make it faster. Although I have them 2 pairs in 2 trucks plus the extra pair. And they are in 38000 Airride.

    There's also idea to convert my NR from 9.02's into those 5.02's but this could be realized with modifying the gearbox I haven't opened yet.

    So if you don't have much hectic about them I will try to turn out my plan in 2-3 monthes.

  3. About special tools you will need to turn off a big nut. So will need a socket and a pneumatc tool for the best. Everything else is ordinar.

    Although I'm in doubt about a parts value. There are inner cam, outer cam (cup) and peanuts. I bought inner cam and a set of nuts for R-model for about $270 (plus shipping). Outer cam is of a bigger size and how I remember was much worse. Of course you may revise your stuff and end up with partional exchange but don't hope hard about it.

  4. Oo! The translation is good enough.

    English has less variations of words so when you translate Russian words direct you have a result close to be correct.

    Of course I could understand everything but words corresponded to each other not good. Russian language to use is a real disaster. We have to study it 8 years for 1 lesson each day. So don't take it serious. You interested in and it was nice.

    I just read somewhere about languistical game when a group seats around a table and gives a frase from one to the next with translating and back translating each time. The last one related the result with the original.

  5. Maybe James.

    FIAT built the car production plant in Russia in late 60's and it made revolution in Russian car building. They are LADA's now. Not good enough nowadays but were 2 steps in front of everything produced until they became. I'm shure FIAT got good income from Soviet govnt and had no sorries. As about Mack it was the Cold war time and politic played his role more than economy. Interesting fact (maybe I told you): nobody overhere knows about that project. Although 99% people in Russia doesn't know what Mack is it!

  6. Paul,

    Kremlin is Russian word (or maybe Greek or Arabic) that means fortificated city. So there are many of them still in existence. Most cities those had importance more than 200 years ago had walls and towers. Some of them were wooden, and Moscow Kremlin was not the exception. Later they were rebuilt of stones, Moscow one also furnished with bricks from outsides. So you can see many Kremlins in Russia and many old monasterys those have the same look but aren't Kremlins because aren't cities. Usually they are kept in good condition because of historical value and representation of modern city's face. Those were occuped by Germans were partly destroyed and restored after the war. Such as Smolensk, Novgorod, Pskov and many of less size.

    Mike,

    I see much interesting about the US each time I'm here. And don't only see. Lots of facts in articles you post or links to, movies, just frases in posts. And when I see any truck pictures there are also different things at the background. It's nice for me touching life of your country and it's not only pictures but your minds, language, weather, and everything else. Looking your life I better understand my one. Would be glad to see shots from you. Thanks.

    Leslie,

    I'm starting to think camels live everywhere!
