    Porsches in Russia

    You don't hear much about p cars in this region of the world, unless a car gets lifted in Europe. Language barrier would make it difficult to have a regional.

    Didn't bother to translate but assuming the article says those are the only Porsches in Russia and they're all owned by Putin.

    Inspired by the success of last winter Porsche Winter Festival, Germans from Porsche decided not to stop there and an even grander scale organized summer activities Porsche Summer Festival.

    Throughout the last weekend event participants could learn in detail the history of the company, its structure of work and play interactive games, fly on a helicopter and, of course, test the legendary 911, the Cayman and Boxster circuit near Moscow Moscow Raceway. The number of visitors this year exceeded far beyond a thousand, especially since the weather is surprisingly lucky - on the eve of the promised rain forecasters had not begun.

    However, the most notorious were the lucky three dozen leading motoring journalists invited to the race track before, still working on Friday, the ceremony of official opening of Porsche Driving Center, as well as to participate in test drives and familiarity with these types of racing cars 919 Hybrid.

    By the way, the festival was officially announced that from now on every buyer of any Porsche model receives a gift certificate for a training center in the driver's skill. You can also pass on their own, and one of the four levels of training - Introduction, Precision, Performance and Master.

    I would bring a vintage car to Afghanistan before I would bring it to Moscow. Impossible to figure out who the good guys are if it gets lifted.

    If it's that dangerous, a regional is probably out of the question.

    Since the fall of the Soviet Union and fallout from that, much of the media coverage today is negative. Orson Welles once claimed that the Russians in his experience were a 'supreme artistic people'. Hollywood employed many that were gifted.

    No one is saying that Russians are not bright and good people. It is a wonderful place to visit, the people are spectacular (and very bright) but everyone knows to hang on to their wallet in Rome (also a wonderful place) and don't wear flashy jewelry or valuables including cars) in Russia. Its because Russians are so bright that they have a very organized under belly. If they wanted all 100 Porsches that came in for a meet, they would find a way to take them and you would never even see a tire mark in the dirt. Vaporized. So with that said, who knows Putin? He for sure could protect us. Unless maybe he says he will but he really is the guy that wants the cars? As said before, you don't know who the good guys are...
