    Hi there, here are some shots that I took in Sofia, Bulgaria.
    I spend a month there every year:

    Old Citroen





    Renault 16





    Zastava




    Moskvich











    Old Benz truck still in use by the city, it full with poop



    Up in the mauntain





    We saw a nice group of Germans, driving a Trabant form Berlin
    to Istanbul:
