These Russian cars are also described as the most polluting car in the 
world.  There was a time when you had to put your name down for one then 
wait about 20 years to get one.  We are finding that in the UK now crews 
from Russian ships are buying up second hand ones and shipping them back 
to Russia for parts etc..  They are almost becoming a collectors item over 
here.  There are rumours that you have to kick start them, but, I think 
that may mean you give them a good kick with your boot when they don't 
start.  On the plus side the body-work doesn't rust, it's made of plastic!
