- Born in 1988 in Georgia (not the US state, Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic). Residing in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia (the city which used to be known as the Russian Detroit) since 1994. Used to be a Ford guy for 9 years, now a happy Volvo owner. I'm specifically interested in homemade or just oddball cars, but also am fond of the old US iron.
