Any snowmobile, including amphibians, has a relatively low load-carrying capacity, and therefore their use is fully justified only under certain operating conditions, which will become clear from what is said below. Our amphibian is a combination of a pleasure boat and a ski. The shape of its bottom is designed for planing on water and Read more…
It is not easy to surprise residents of the city of Tolyatti with a new car.
