Getaway in Tallinn

Well, I've finally done it, my first ever podcast. Couldn't make it earlier, since the doctors did not allow me to drive for a while. But anyway, here it is, give it a listen if you will.
It's about driving in Tallinn during rush hour without getting caught in traffic. It is possible, and here I've proved it's easy to make it from Mustamäe to Kadriorg in less than 25 minutes.

Get 'em while they last!

I've been away for a while, due to an operation, but that's that. I found something that's really suitable for a comeback.

I've found a used car from the used cars section of a sell-buy magazine Soov. Interesting, isn't it. Wait 'til you read what it is.

It's quite economic, has a large boot, a tiny diesel engine, four doors, two full rows of seats, sturdy German build quality, great ground clearance and.. wait, take all I've just said and turn it upside down. This car is a bit of screaming madness, it is able to dry up Saudi Arabia in a single trip to the shop (where you can't buy anything, because there's no storage space), the Italians made it, which means it will go off in an incredible fireball when you press the throttle, and it's idea of offroading is leaving your right tires on the curb (if it's a very-very low one). Yep, it's the Enzo. On sale. In Lithuania. For a mere 1,85 million US dollars.

Check it out here while it's on sale. I'm sure someone will buy it soon, as my birthday is coming up (just kidding, I don't like it, buy me an Aston instead).

Here's a picture, too, if you've no idea why they're selling an italian bloke called Enzo:
