Terrano Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hello, everybody! I am probably the first NPORA forum member from Russia ;-) Let me say a couple of things about myself and my Monster. I live in Russia, in a city named Vladivostok. It is on the opposite side of Russia from Moscow, our closest neighbors are Japan, China, and the rest of the Asian-Pacific region. There is a lot of snow here in winter, so having SUV is much better ;-) In addition, I love making barbeque (did I spell it right? ;-) in the forest, or go to some "uncrowded" beach and get as close to the water as possible... so my life-style kinda demands a Pathy ;-) OK enough about me, let's see what I drive. I drive a 1993 Terrano (Pathfinder in U.S. and Europe) with a 2.7 turbo-diesel and an automatic transmission. It is completely stock, without any lifts or other mods. Well, I have a rear LSD, but it was already installed on car when it was shipped from Japan. It is not my first Terrano, I used to have a 2-door 1989 Terrano a couple of years ago. It had manual transmission, I loved it and did not want to sell it, but there was so much rust under the backseat that I cannot believe it did not fall through the floor. So I had to sell it. After that I bought 1992 Vitara as I did not have enough dinero for the Pathy (or should I call it Terry? ) A good car, in some offroad situations even better than Terrano, but too small and light. I prefer to feel the weight of the car ;-) As soon as I had the chance, I bought Terrano again, so now I am happy ;-))) I dream of installing a lift kit, 33' tires, and many other goodies. Probably will build something like my American comrades' Pathies (Russians are supposed to say "comrades", not "friends" right? ) Just haven't earned that much cash yet ;-) OK, that's probably all. Glad to meet you, people. I will keep you posted on what is going on in the Russian off-road ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's wonderful to have you on the Board. Welcome and may good Russian vodka keep flowing to the United States and the ret of the world. This is very cool and I hope you enjoy your time here on this Forum. Just don't go crazy and do too much on the Terrano- you will go broke. I don't know how these guys do it Welcome again, Comrade and we enjoy Barbeque too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrano Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 2 Flyer Thanks for welcoming! Don't worry, Russian vodka will never cease flowing into U.S. :-)) BTW, I am not a huge fan of vodka. I prefer beer; or cognac when I need smth heavy ;-) I even have a BS from the University of Maryland ... So I guess I am not 100% Russian...
