2x2 - Cuba

January 11, 1996

Jeremy travels to Cuba home of some of the best, and worst car stories in the world. Revolutions, communism and proximity to the US make Cuba and interesting enigma. And the cars in Cuba are no exception. American cars, or what look like them anyway with Russian Lada engines. Car enthusiasts in Cuba overcome the lack of spare parts, body pieces expensive automotive fluids, with determined ingenuity. And they do so in the face of oppressive government restrictions against private enterprise that takes even more ingenuity to get the job done. They are not Italian or German super-cars, but they are engineering marvels none the less!
