Do you take the beast shopping? Or ferry the children to school? Can your truck be a practical, everyday vehicle?

Post your day to day photos here

We have many photos of our vehicles at shows, parked up at home or being unloaded off lowloaders but some of these Russian vehicles are in everyday usage.

This section is for posting photos of Russian vehicles in usage outside of shows and rallies. In the supermarket car park, the school run, on holiday, outside the cinema, etc. Lets see how versatile these vehicles are. :D

Photos and location comments only please.

:lol:

Dug these SIberia phots out. This was a 30 hour round trip to evacuate a hunter from his shack after a radio message saying he was dying.

This was after the thaw, with no ice roads just track, bog and swamp. At one stage we were bog hoping on foot for a mile to chop down trees to bring back and attach to the tracks.

Phots show slightly easy bogging

Hunter was fine when we arrived, he had travelled in in the winter and was staying for the full summer till the freeze came again

Name that pink tracked vehicle
