It is true to say that invalids in Soviet Union were a kind of defective people in many respects. For example, they were not able to drive ordinary cars, and had to use special vehicles for invalids, called in public “Invalidkaâ€Â.

So much for everyone being equal in a Communist society . That blue one could be yours for 650 of your finest British pounds but it's in Lithuania so epic roadtrip potential - is anyone mad enough to go for it?!
