    It was a Peugeot 206 actually.

    If they are so ahead, why do we always need to wait atleast 20 minutes and then need to go on board the ships to get their arse moving ? Absolutely the most annoying kind of people, with all due respect.

    Hi all. I own a Mockvitch 412 car
    Thre car is execellent, but the main enemy of these cars is the quality of new spare parts
    In a few words, a 2.0 liter engine and R15 disks are going to be installed soon.
    Now an improved 1.8 engine is inplace, and a firmer suspension is installed

    Hi everyone.
    This is my Moskvich and I will try to answer your questions.
    PS
    I am trying to maintain the appearance of the machine. The works are carried out only to improve the engine and chassis.

    I think the engine was a copy of the SOHC BMW 1500 engine (from 1961)

    Well, at the two litre engine with 4 carbs design capacity about 130hp.

    stud patter OK, but just do not want to bow another 1.5 kilograms at the hub. I want light wheels
