In this context you can use word Bomb in russian as a "Your car is a bomb (awesome)!" So that is where it came from. Or it can be just a slang term for a BMW. | |
JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2016-02-28 00:53 | ZoomZoom wrote Alright, it was just a guess. I am highly appreciating your guess, and quite frankly, the main picture is captured from such an weird angle that it doesnt look much like a C4. | |

JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2016-02-28 00:37 | ZoomZoom wrote I think the body shape and the C pillar placement lean towards Geo Storm territory. Ill try to catch up with this damn thing and post rear view pic, rear is 100% Vette. EDIT: Sucess! It appeared on non snowy track, so after a few minutes my Sputnik was capable of catching up. -- Last edit: 2016-02-28 00:51:02 | |

JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2016-02-27 22:50 | It may be driveable. When this madman whiped out my Sputnik out of road, game said it is called Fregat. Can somebody find out cheats for this game? | |
JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2016-02-27 21:31 | At save replay screen this model is used, but small and black´n´white. I used the pic from installation screen. | |

Mcthieve photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-11 21:46 | Thanks for the info guys this was always my favorite car from the soviet era. I always have the idea that it was way better than any mercedez from back in the soviet era. | |
JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-11 15:21 | Mcthieve wrote ¿Does it handles like a Cadillac? and if it does ¿ it's it comparable to the boat handling of lets say...the Esperanto in GTA III? Well the name comes from real-life handling, in game it will proably be as badly as other cars. IRL you wont find more comfortable car (aside from unobtainable cars for presidents) from east bloc, it is like driving old school soft sofa. That is were nickname Soviet Mercedes comes from. One big comfort on wheels. | |
direct_UA photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-11 15:21 | Zubilo = Chisel/doorstop , because of car's shape. -- Last edit: 2019-10-30 22:05:33 | |

JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-11 15:01 | krq9 wrote I don't really understand the question. Do you mean why is it Moscow and not 'Moskov'? 'Moscow' is English for Moskva, similarly to other Germanic languages or French (German - Moskau, French - Moscou). Moskvitch was an automobile brand. Brand names aren't usually translated to other languages (if we were to translate it, it would be Muscovite - a person living in Moscow). Moskvitch is simply Москвич transcribed to Latin. For English language, that is. Moskwitch would not make sense, since 'w' is pronounced differently in English, so it would result in a defferent sounding word. It's the opposite in German, where 'w' is pronounced like 'v' in other languages (the 'v' in German sounds more like 'F' for you and me), thus the brand is generally referenced as Moskwitsch. Yes, that was my question You explained this to me very well. I never actually noticed difference the sound between english W and V, since I dont speak english aside from english lessons in school. -- Last edit: 2015-11-11 15:02:26 | |

Burn Rubber photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-11 00:04 | Up to your old tricks on Web Car Story, Eh? | |
JFK photo_librarymode_comment 2015-11-10 23:42 | Stupid driving. If you are close to invisible wall with forward gear, you car will go ludicrous speed backwards every time when you hit the gas. Incredibly hard to turn around to get frontal pic.
