Would be fascinated to see them, Gordon Jones did a trip to Irkutsk and I don’t know if he took any pics but he is now in any event parked in that great truckstop in the sky… we all went to his funeral.
Togliatti was the furthest I ever went east but I always wanted to go further… nowadays I would shudder if I was asked to go to Minsk!

You might like this then:
Polish truckers delivering something to the oilfield to Siberia.
Poznań to here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noyabrsk
In Polish, but not much is said, pictures are talking for themselves.But, too be honest, you’ll miss some nice exchanges on CB radio…
“Where are you going guys? To Ural?” - you can hear that he’s using “Ural” like an expression, he could use “Jupiter” in the same way…
“To Siberia, mate, to Siberia”
bit of silence…
“Did you had your breakfast before you started?”
(btw: that was good old time when you could speak on CB radio in civilised manner, nowadays everyone has it in Poland, including many cars, so as every moron feels that he’s a king of the road, the language is so terrible that my ears are withering from all that swearwords 
)

A couple of years ago a trip to Irkutsk was posted about on here…viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3381&hilit=irkutsk
I think it was something to do with TN member JJ72, could well be wrong again though!!
It is well worth a read as the story “develops” as the thread progresses!!
Yeah, but, no, but well yeah!

Excellent photos and don’t apologise for the lack of trucks, I am sure we all know what one of those looks like now.
