I have no answer to your question, however you should read "The Linger Longer" by Chris Raven & Simon Raven, two guys who drove from the UK to Vladivostock

I think your car is not suitable for a such long trip. You should mean no-road or very bad road between Chita and Khabarovsk (1500 km). If you want it so much, you'll overcome, though. Be ready to agressive way of driving (comparatively to Europe). Don't cross middle solid lines on the roads: it extremely angers policemen. Try to keep the tank full while going Estern Siberia and Far East and use big brand petrol stations only. In whole there's nothing to afraid in Russia. Fuel is cheap. All roads are free. Females welcome!

Hi Ilaria, did you make the trip?
I am planning to drive a much smaller car across Russia and would appreciate if you would share your experiences.
Thanks.
