Expedition Gdansk ( Poland) - Irkutsk - Which car ?, экспедиция Гданьск (Польша) - Иркутск. Выбор автомобиля Опции

[marksman]

Hi Everybody.
First Id like to apologise Iam writing English on a Russain forum, but I forgot writing russian language. Even thougt Ican still speak russian langage which Ive learned in the college.

In 2013 Im going to organise an expedition from Gdansk(Poland) to Irkuck. Its been always my dream to discover russia, and now I have an oportunity to make my dreams true. The rote I would like to chose is the most popular route so Lithuania - Moscow - Yeaterinburg - Novosybirsk - Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk. Id like to go in the somer time - By now I have some problems just at the begining of thinking about expedition

Is there somebody who could give me some advise for the folowing questions ?

1. Do I realy need 4x4 car ? If I realy need which would be the best choice of brand ? Patrol ? Cheeroke ? Pajero ? Maybe any russian 4x4 ?

2. If there is no reason to buy 4x4 Id like to take an particular VAN, if is possible please let me know which wolud be the best or most popular for the russian conditions ( VW t4? Mercedes Sprinter? Hyundai H200 ?)

The biggest problem for me as I think by now is that the car/VAN brake down, so my idea is to buy a car/VAN which could be easly repaired by russian mens ( Who i hope would help me )

If any of You have some other advise which could help me, please send a message

Thanks a lot

Всем доброго время суток, изначально человек извиняется что пишет по-английски т.к русский он полностью забыл может кое что прочесть. В 2013 он хочет организовать экспедицию в Россию из Польши в Иркутск. У автора всегда была мечта попутешествовать по России и вот выпадает такая возможность маршрут следующий Литва - Москва-Екатеринбург-Красноярск -Иркутск. Время для экспедиции было выбрано Лето, но сейчас у него возникают вопросы по поводу самой экспедиции.
Есть тут кто то кто может ответить на некоторые вопросы
1 Действительно ли надо машину с полным приводом если надо то какую Patrol ? Cheeroke ? Pajero или какую русскую.
2 Действительно ли необходимо покупать полноприводник, автор темы предпочёл бы микроавтобус, если возможно подскажите какой.
Автор боится что в путишествии машина автобус сломается, он хочет знать какой автобус более ремонтопригоден в России.
Если у кого то есть советы пожалуйста напишите
Премного благодарен.

Yekaterinburg is the easternmost city in Russia I have ever been, so I have no idea about condition of those roads. However, I do not think you really need such car to drive by the roads and 2wd would be enough.

2. If there is no reason to buy 4x4 Id like to take an particular VAN, if is possible please let me know which wolud be the best or most popular for the russian conditions ( VW t4? Mercedes Sprinter? Hyundai H200 ?)

AFAIK, there are a lot of Japanese's cars in Irkutsk (I know it for sure) and all over the rest of Far East, so you have a good chance to be repaired over that region if you drive Toyota, Mitsubishi, or something alike.

The biggest problem for me as I think by now is that the car/VAN brake down, so my idea is to buy a car/VAN which could be easly repaired by russian mens ( Who i hope would help me )

If you do mean easily, UAZ is the only choice.

Could You explane me why do I need gasoline engione instate of a Diesel ?

I do not live in Russia, so I cannot be fully aware about the issue, however the rumor says that quality of diesel fuel was very bad. Nowadays, it is not a problem in big cities, but remember, just one refueling with low grade fuel could bring down a fuel system of diesel engine (especially a modern one), and that will cost you more then a thousand euro.

Господа, вообще-то наш форум русскоязычный.

Можем попробовать разнообразить в качестве эксперимента.

Если вы всё еше говорите по-русски, то пишите латинскими буквами русские слова.

Я русский язык считаю родным, но читать транслит так и не научился.
