See, now wasn’t that easy? If not, then you’ll just have to come see for yourself, right in the comfort of your very own MINI; binoculars not mandatory.
Be thankful that you don’t own a Lada or Zaporozhia or you no go on any tour, but they make great sofas!

There are many differences between a Russian and US tour:

Russia US
Bring your own petrol Available at any intersection
No road maps, secret info Free Maps at Triple A
No directions, secret info PDX MINI provides explicit directions
Dubious Drivers License DMV license with national ID# -- Ooops!
Passport required See above
Vodka bribes for cops Doughnuts
Police check points Radar
Restaurants, no food Restaurants, too much food



Now aren’t you happy that you can view Russia from your car instead of being in a Russian car viewing a parking lot? That is, if they had parking lots.





We’ll be touring the scenic countryside in search of Russian landmarks and culture.
