Any PH'ers in Moscow ?
Discussion
Looks like I'll be re-locating to Moscow for a long(ish) stint in the Autumn. Just wondering if there's any PH members out there ?
Gonna have to keep up my car-fix somehow !!
There seems to be a thriving car enthusiast scene over there, covering all bases and catering for all scenes, but it mightn't be too easy to get accepted into any at the start, so if anybody knows of the best forum groups and/or clubs over there throw up their names here. Who knows, reading forums might even help with picking up the language as it'll be more language material !!

Hi, I currently live in Moscow, I've always wondered about posting the questions.
Lots of car/ bike related activities here especially in the summer.
I drive a Q7 or a Q5 while I'm out here so have no direct links to any intresting car clubs.
living just outside Moscow in Barvikha allows me to get my fill of supercars on a daily basis, even in winter!
What line of work are you in and how long are you planning to stay out here for?

Good stuff. We could have an inaugral Moscow PH get-together yet !!
Probably be there 3 years minimum. I've to work hard at picking up the language, but I know already I'll have to get my petrolhead-fix somehow.
@ MAC87 -- Have you citizenship to own the cars overthere, or are they registered back home ? PM if you prefer.
SWMBO is working there since last year, in one of the international schools. I'm still uncertain what exactly I'll do, I've closed two businesses in recent years and am heading over there with an open mind (and a backup plan for over there). I'll be looking around to see what possibilities there are, and will probably have enough going on back home to keep me fed and watered, with maybe a small bit of travel back and forth at worst.

Ok, sounds good, I will be up for PH meet up.
I am not a citizen, cars belong to family that live here.
I know that there is a fair bit of red tape involved in owning your own car here. I also believe the car documents are tied to your visas etc. ie. you have to renew your documents constantly, a waste of time and money. I think most people put cars in other people's names. (Russians).
I have considered bringing a car out here but every time my visa expires the car would have to leave then re enter Russia.
So would be for a summer then back sort of thing.
I have various Russian car spot pictures, I'll try and post them up.
