Dead end: why GAZ-3111 did not become a mass car
Already in the late eighties, a few years before the official “demise” of the USSR, each fundamentally new model was given to Soviet automobile plants with great difficulty. The exception…

A good pont is more expensive than money: we buy a Bentley Continental GT l

This stereotype successfully accompanies a large number of resonant stories. Noticed – we did not even indicate the value of the proposed purchase? And the appraisal service agrees with our approach, so I refused to give the recommended retail price. Continue reading
