Was chatting to a bloke in a Super Estelle yesterday, he thinks we would all be more than welcome at a salt meet. ( My soviet history/geography is non existent) Would be quite a laugh if anyone is up for it.

One of them has a GAZ truck, and thought it would be fun to raise the Sickle and Hammer, once the Military police realised they were just a bunch of nutters and not a soviet attack, they were de-arrested then the MP's started posing for photos.
I will be trying to attend.

All pre 1991 cars are welcome, you just park under a different flag depending on soviet origin or not. So I have been told.

How many are there?
The flags are Red (Soviet) and White (Non Soviet)
The lada would fit right in.

Title: Re: SALT (Soviet Auto Luxury Tours)
Post by: Hazey-n-Marc on June 05, 2012, 11:35:37 PM: Oh, I see, sorry, I should have explained earlier. They have a red flag for cars produced in a Soviet country, and a white flag for cars produced in a non Soviet country.
I have to admit that I do not know where Poland fits in to this. I was twelve when the wall came down and just getting into beer.
