    Absolutely adore these. The UAZ-452. Nicknamed Buhanka, Russian for ‘loaf of bread’ since it exactly looks like one. This version was introduced in 1965, but there’s a predecessor dating back to 1958.

    They actually do still make modern versions of these, complete with upgrades like a better, cleaner engine, ABS brakes and seatbelts. It’s the oldest still in production vehicle.

      You can also play at driving one in the game Snow runner 🙂

        Snow runner is so awesome 😄 I’ve got hundreds of hours in it.

        Though honestly, the loaf isn’t as useful or customisable as I’d like it to be.

          Yay, another Snowrunner player!

          I disagree about the Loaf, I've used it a lot - almost as much as the Fleetstar 🙂

            For scouts, I usually default to the Land Rover 90. But most gameplay time is spent in the TUZ Acteon or Bandit. And if it absolutely, positively needs to get there… Mastodon, obviously.

              I don't have the Land Rover DLC, lol ... I found the Acteon was fun, but the switchable suspension wasn't as useful as it should be. Very pretty little truck though, I always go for small and cute over the big stuff when I can!

              I never took to the Bandit for some reason, can't remember why now ... maybe fuel capacity?

                You likely didn’t use the Bandit (much) because it’s got a tendency to roll over every time it encounters the slightest bit of hill. It’s the truck equivalent of a puppy, eagerly looking for belly rubs. And usually at the second to last corner to your destination…

                I like it for it’s versatility, but it takes a fair bit of self control to drive it well without tipping it.

                  This sounds incredibly Japanese.

                  I raise you an amphibious sightseeing bus in Budapest that has regular service:

                  That's incredibly European

                      Nah, once I read about moving the crane to allow chassis flex I had zero problems with rollovers ... having thought more on it, it was the towing options combined with the fuel capacity (even with the roofrack fully stocked)
