Several days ago was a very big event in my business and personal life, I dreamt about it for a long time and finally I could afford to buy a new car! Many of my clients remember my old car, LADA-21099. It was not so bad and served well for my business for a pretty long time and many of my clients liked it (as a good example of popular Russian car, built for Russian weather and road conditions). But there comes a day in most people's life when we have to sell our cars because they become too old or unsafe, and the rising costs to keep it in good condition.
My business is pretty good (thank you God) but believe me, it is not so easy here to get financing with banks. Interest rates are very high and you can loose about 15% of the car's value by financing it. That is why I saved my money to buy it and not use credit to purchase it. We hope the situation in the bank system will soon change since the Russian economy is rising very fast.
So, recently my wife Olga and I made an important decision to buy a more reliable, comfortable and safe car, the "Ford Fiesta Ghia". We spent all our collected money in on it. I hope that you like my choice. I've already (in couple of days) love it. There are a lot of benefits in this cute car with comparison of my old one! So, it's time to introduce my NEW car:
The new Ford Fiesta Ghia has a luxurious design with an air of sophistication inside and out. Subtle styling cues and superior craftsmanship emphasize refinement that clearly sets the Ghia apart in its class. In addition to the features of the LX, the Ghia has an extensive range of sophisticated equipment including 6 stack in-dash CD player, leather wrapped steering wheel with satin aluminum spoke, map lights, chrome grill and luxury velour trim.
Model/Car Features:
Made in Germany
Engine 1.6
5 Doors
Color: Moondust Silver
ABS Brakes
Adjustable tilt steering column
Air Conditioning
Alloy Wheels 14'
CD Stacker
Dual Air Bags
Automatic Adjustable Side Mirrors
Fog Driving Lights
Leather Gear Stick
Power Steering
Power Windows
Remote Central Locking
Vehicle Immobilizer
PS: I've sold my old car (LADA-21099) today, it has been a very tiring last few days, but fortunately everything is OK. After 2.5 years driving my old car, I feel a lit little bit sad, but the new one is better and I enjoy it very much. It is more comfortable, reliable and attractive.
From my heart, I would like to say one more time here to all my clients from November 2002 till March 2006: "Thank you for your choice to use my services in Moscow!"

Finally I have a chance to write couple of sentences here. The summer and autumn were very nice this year in Moscow. I had a lot of clients and almost no time to rest. This is good, of course, that my business is growing up and I have a lot of new responses about my services too. I am trying to make all the best for my clients, probably, that is why I see only positive impressions on the faces of my clients. This year, besides a lot of clients from USA, Canada, Britain and Ireland, I provided my services to my first clients from Mexico, Holland, Colombia and New Zealand.
I have not have any clients during this week (days off), the weather in Moscow become worst - cool and rainy... so that I have a lot of time to work with many photos which I took during the year. I hope that you enjoy my photos... Please, send me your comments on my e-mail address: arthur@moscow-driver.com. Click on the image (preview of the photo, by the way - this is Triumphal Arch on Kutuzovsky Avenue) to see all my recent photos!

I will be gone from Moscow from June 23 until the 28th. My friend and web-designer, who lives in Kiev (Ukraine), has invited my wife (Olga) and I for his wedding, which will be celebrated on the 25th of June. His name is Stanislav (Stas) and his lovely bride is Irina. Although we have not met in person, we have known each other for over a year via the internet. He is a very talented programmer and designer. The name of his website is: "Miracle Design" and his nick name is "Miracle." There is no question he merits this name, as he has done a lot of wonderful work for me. Two web sites, business cards, promotion and a great deal of practical advice about the internet. But, what I have come to appreciate most is our friendship!
I am sorry to inform you that when I am in Kiev, I will not be able to work on my computer or reply to your messages, but I will try to respond immediately upon my arrival to my home on the 28th of June.
With BEST regards,
Arthur

The first spring holidays in Russia on the 1st of May is currently over. This year, 2005, 1st of May was not only the day when the people in Russia celebrated the Day of Labour and Peace, but also on the same day was Orthodox Easter here. Everybody celebrated these holidays and we were treated couple of days to some great weather here in Moscow! A lot of people spent these days in Parks, walking all together around famous city sights with their kids, relatives and friends after cold and long winter time in Russia. As usual, a lot of families went out for their first trips out of city to spend holidays on their dachas (summer houses) at Moscow Region.
I was working during these holidays with a tourist from Chicago, US. He is retired engineer, pilot, and it was very nice to communicate with him. We spent great time during 3 days for sightseeing, visiting most interesting places (Kremlin, GUM, Victory Park, Metro, VVTs, Cathedrals and convents, driving tour "City at Night" and more...), some good restaurants where we had Russian and Ukrainian cuisine. Unfortunately, the Red Square is closed during the holidays until 10th of May for security and practice proposes to provide worker's and military parades on 1st and 9th of May accordingly.
Moscow is already prepared now for our important holiday "Victory Day", May 9th. This holiday commemorating the capitulation of Nazi Germany on May 9, 1945. On this year will be the 60th anniversary of our Victory.
I took a lot of new photos during the holidays from 30th of April till 2d May working with tourist from Chicago and will try to upload some interesting pictures for you as I have free time.

I’m currently working (from April 24th until May 1st) with a businessman from the Intel Corp. from the U.S., who was a previous client. He used my services last year more than four months, and it was very nice to meet him again. I’m very exited to communicate with this intelligent man from a world famous company. During our driving trips between his numerous business meetings I have the opportunity to talk with him about new technologies, digital photography, pets and simply about our life . . . I thank God that I have such interesting and good clients during my work.
