   I just love racing these in the forests during wintertime, much more fun than modern jeeps. And there is no power steering.

   Philips or Flat-blade?

   I ask because I just found out it takes only the former to break into my apartment.

   oh, no, Vic! a literal ‘break into’ (car accident) or a robbery?

   Any of the two, I am very sorry. I hope it was the least harmful of the two.

   Is that your feet in the photo, Steve? What an odd footwear!

   Real safe, as there is no speed either 😐 The only thing that can happen to you is rolling down some side of a hill, falling out of the car and it smashing onto you.

   Oh, so it’s just like snowmobiling… but heavier…

   Alieness: mais oui. I am in the back seat. The shoes were given out by Nike at TED. They are very light, with what appears to be a metal mesh over the toes.

    ..reminds me that in late 80-s, during agony of soviet economy, they offered their UAZ (btw, it’s UAZ 469 on the pic, i suppose) without engine, so a happy customers had to find (yes, rather «find» then «buy», due to total deficit of everythin & everywhere) and install it themselves 🙂
