This collection of vehicles brought in the local lighting and sound equipment to the Arena in Budapest.
After unloading, trailers were dropped inside the Arena.
Gavin, with our two double-drivers, Gary and Paul, pose with our ■■■■■■ driver who brought us from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Breakfast stop on route from Kiev to Moscow at typical Russian cafe.
Sorry, not a truck picture, but may be of interest to some.
This is the main route from the Ukraine/Russia border, heading towards Moscow from Kiev.

Here’s some scans of a Stardes sales brochure I came across recently while looking for something else.
