Column: the Russian petrolhead

Feb 3, 2013, 4:02 PM Everybody has a certain image about some countries. In Moscow, people from Holland are sometimes named ‘Orange people’. A funny word for the people from the home country of Autogespot, but this column is about the Russians, or about the Russian petrolhead, to be precise. The story starts in 2007, when the first exclusive spots from Moscow are uploaded on Autogespot.

In December last year, we talked with one of the many young Muscovites who can be described as one of the many young petrolheads of the new Russian generation. It definitely was a very interesting encounter.
