Not so recent. A couple of Dux things from Russia of the first years of XX century. Can't remember the source.
1914 Russo-Baltique D24/35 Kegresse, from ambulances.ru.

Have you been at retrosno.com?
By accident I found this Ferrari Testarossa ;D
:hah: :lmao: :yuck:
Let me add something:
#1: snow vehicle named Mirazh (Мираж). Built by A. Maltsev (A. Мальцев) and N. Mishin (Н. Мишин). The vehicle's bodywork is made od plywood and GRP/fiberglass (don't know the correct translation). It uses M-72 engine. Length: 2600 mm, width: 750 mm, height: 1300 mm.
#2: snow vehicle with Pobeba bodywork named Sever-2 (Север-2).
1934 GAZ A Kegresse
I was just reading through this before I came onto AP... I wonder where they got their images from.....

MG took the pictures from this thread, as well as a thread Arthur Dent stated at another site, and credits both.

QuoteThe vehicle's bodywork is made of plywood and GRP/fiberglass
Your description is more than adequate. When fiberglass was first being used commercially, a wooden core was frequently used to add strength. It was only later when molding techniques had been perfected that the plywood could be dispensed with.

I don't believe I have ever been referred to as "they". It is faintly disturbing, like finding out you have just been added to the "no fly" list". :o I often rail against "they" and "them" and "those people". Not sure that's a club I want to belong to..... :-\

I meant no offense, I assure you, the 'they' was more descriptive as the website as a whole as I didn't make the connection as to who posted it and didn't notice the links in the article. I happened across the slideshow by chance, and 2 websites later found this thread with all the images I'd just seen in it.
No offense taken! ;) I gave up taking offense for Lent two years ago and just never went back to it. Its a pretty useless thing, offense. All it ever does is cause trouble! ;D

It does not! And I take offense at your saying so! :nana:
The best defense is a good offense.
I'm proud to be highly offensive, and hence, the best!
