I want to do a roadtrip from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok Any

>>78921453
Not a Russkie, but someone I know drove from Norway to Vladivostok in 2 slightly modified Toyota Land Cruisers. Told me quite a few awesome stories.

there is no reason to do it

It's fuckin boring, depressing and tiresome

But why?

>>78921671

dirt roads are adventurous

>>78921453
Driving isn't recommended. Six years ago, a hardy trio of Zenit St Petersburg fans climbed into a 20-year-old Honda to drive to a league game in Vladivostok 4,000 miles as the crow flies, more like 6,500 miles as the road wends.

Although they managed to see their club record a 2-0 win, the car died, leaving them stranded in Vladivostok. They were forced to take the train all the way back to St Petersburg, making it home just in time for Zenit's next match the following week, whereupon the club rewarded their loyalty by presenting them with a new car. Today, the clapped-out Honda is on display in the Zenit museum.

They installed extra integrated fuel tanks and carried jerrycans with them for emergencies. Food and equipment was stored in the cars and on the roofs. As the Land cruiser were fitted with cargoframes on top.

So the moral of the story is that old cars are unreliable?

>>78922493
that non-soviet cars are unreliable

>>78922695
I'd rather drive a Toyota LC
It's one of the most common SUVs in Russia, meaning lots of spare parts to be had. They're easy to work on, and offer a perfect blend of reliability and comfort.

1: Trucks drive cross-country
2: People travel to bigger areas by 4x4
3: Helicopter
4: Ice roads in the winter
5: ATV/Snowmobile
6: Riverboat

>>78921453
it is only a little safer than biking from NYC to brazil via sinaloa.

>>78922003

You need to know language. Basic things, like "Hi, I'm from Brazilia, I'm hitchhiking, I need water, food, vodka, I can't drink anymore etc"

Out of all the pictures you posted, I like this one the most for some reason.

If I had enough money would it be possible for me to get modernized Komsomol tractor from Russia?
There's probably some old blueprints around.
