My Russian Love Affair

[UTFLIWGYA]

Not too long ago, I was deployed to Afghanistan, which aside from having a lot of angry Taliban has a ton of other stuff.....Old Russian Vehicles!! I was able to finaggle my way to working a deal with the Afghan Corps Commander and the National Guard Motorpool guys on not One, not Two, but THREE 1970s UAZ 469s. The pics of mine are below. It is one of the simplest vehicles I have ever seen and by far the toughest of the ones that I have ridden in. Four Cylinder, Two Barrel Carb, two 8 Gallon Tanks (ran on Unleaded), 4 speed manual with 4x4 of course!! I'll swap some more stories and answer questions at Uwharrie. Brian
