Het "Wrak" (aparte auto) van de Week

Al een tijdje zijn er een aantal mensen die zich er aan storen dat ik voor elk wrak een nieuw topic open Dat doe ik niet meer, voortaan stop ik alle wrakken bij elkaar in dit topic.
Wrak moet daarbij niet te letterlijk worden genomen. Niet ieder voertuig dat ik zal posten is per definitie wrakkig. Maar ik durf van de meeste voertuigen te betwijfelen of hij bij de gemiddelde PTA-er op de oprit mag staan.
Week moet jeook niet te letterlijk nemen. Soms zullen het er meer dan 1 in de week zijn, soms post ik ook een weekje niets
Waarom het dan toch wrak van de week heet? Alliteratie .
Dus voor de extra duidelijkheid: Het is neit de bedoeling om hier foto's van wrecked exotics, of je eigen om de boom gevouwen BMW te posten Maar als je ook een leuk 'wrak' hebt gevonden, staat het je vrij om te posten. Net als wanneer je aanvullende info hebt over een voertuig trouwens

Genoeg geluld, over naar het eerste wrak. En dat is meteen maar een heel mer: GAZ uit Rusland. Paar foto's en een stukje geschiedenis er bij





GAZ 3937
The GAZ can engage front wheel drive, has powersteering, airconditioning.
The installation of a transmitter and/or internal communication set is possible.
I do not know if it has any water propulsion besides the wheels.

The construction is based on a modular system.
The welded bottem has two removable units - front and back. The front unit, that includes the power bay and drivers seat, is hermeticly sealed en separated from the back unit that can be used for people and cargo.
The main advantage is that, due to quick disconnection of the backunit the fast replacement of different units on one automobile even in the field is possible.

And so by having a number of functional units, one the chassis can fulfil functions of several automobiles by mounting of special equipment and mobile installations.

It can serve as ambulance at floods and other natural disasters.

The history of the Open Joint-Stock Company "GAZ" (formerly the Gorky Automobile Plant) started in 1929.

On the 4-th of March 1929, the USSR Government took the decision and signed the Decree on building an automobile plant. On the 6-th of April 1929, the Government approved the determined construction site for the future plant near the city of Nizhny Novgorod.


On the 31-st of May 1929, the USSR Government and the American "Ford Motor Company" signed an agreement on technical assistance in establishing and commissioning mass production of Ford-A type of passenger cars and of Ford-AA type of trucks. Engineering and construction project planning was mainly carried out by the Russian engineers, in close collaboration with Ford Motor Company. The architectural-construction project was developed by Austin Co.

The first cornerstone of the foundation for the future automobile plant near Nizhny Novgorod was laid down on May 2, 1930. Thanks to the well-prepared project, efficient management and personal commitment of practically everyone, the plant was built in 18 months.


It was put in operation on January 1, 1932. The first vehicle rolled off the production line on January 29, 1932.


GAZ-A medium-class passenger car was launched into production in December 1932.

The first GAZ-A and GAZ-AA vehicles were manufactured using the drawings provided by Ford Motor Company. But they differed somewhat from their American prototypes due to their reinforced clutch case and steering mechanism. Ford expertise combined together with GAZ findings and decisions, the GAZ designers developed a number of versions of the 1.5-t truck basic model. GAZ-03-30 office bus was developed in 1933. GAZ-AAA 3-axle truck went into production by the end of 1934. Later, GAZ-410 dump truck was designed. GAZ-55 ambulance bus was launched into production in 1937. GAZ-42 gas-generator truck was created in the same period of time. GAZ-A was used as the basis for GAZ-4 pick-up featuring an all-metal cabin and metal cargo platform with 500 kg payload capacity. GAZ-4 pick-ups started rolling off the production line in 1933.

The 100.000-th vehicle, a GAZ-A passenger car, was assembled on April 17, 1935, which became an important date in the history of the GAZ plant.

GAZ plant was the first plant in the country to introduce in-line production of vehicles with the support of American experts from the Ford Motor Company.

Another important milestone in the history of the GAZ plant was development and production of M-1 passenger car.

Mass movement for mastering the equipment and raising labor productivity made it possible to prepare for the production of new vehicles within the shortest time limits.

According to the agreement with Ford Motor Company, M-1 car was supposed, similarly to GAZ-A, to have its own Ford prototype. But the team of GAZ designers and engineers, headed by the talented specialist and manager A. A. Lipgart in 1933, completely refused to copy the American example, in view of their own understanding of the concept of a national vehicle and capitalizing on the experience gained during the production of the first model.

Thus, instead of a V-8 from the American analogue, a 4-cylinder engine, already in production then, was significantly modified and boosted from 40 h. p. to 50 h. p. But the main changes concerned the chassis: an extra-strong frame and a new structure of the suspension were developed (on four leaf springs instead of two cross ones of the analogue); spoke wheels were replaced with disk stamped ones with bigger tires. And for quite understandable reasons, as the Ford chassis proved to be really unsuitable for the Russian road conditions.

As a result, GAZ M-1, like all the other following models of GAZ vehicles turned out to be endurable, robust and easy to service.

The exterior of the vehicle was also changed: due to larger front end and longer frame and wheel base the vehicle became proportionally better-looking, and its front end became more interesting, including the front fenders and the radiator facing.


Created by the team of GAZ designers and engineers, GAZ-M1 not only became a successfully passed test but also laid down the foundation of the GAZ school of design. In 1937, M-1 produced a notable impression representing the USSR at the Paris world industrial exhibition.

GAZ-M1 has its own peculiar history. Year in, year out, partly modified, it served the needs of people beginning from the late 30-s till the 50-s, including the War years. M-1 was used as a basis for GAZ-415 pick-up with 400 kg payload capacity. They were sometimes powered with 6-cylinder engines, code-named as GAZ-11. This engine, with displacement of 3485 cm3 and 76 h. p., helped improve the dynamics and opened up its prospective usage for further trucks, including their application in light tanks and self-propelled guns.

This passenger car equipped with the new engine was code named as GAZ-11-73. Its initial samples were ready in 1938. Besides the new power plant, it had a number of other improvements, such as longer front leaf springs, more efficient brakes, a new instrument panel, etc. GAZ-11-73 was used as the basis for GAZ-11-40 convertible the production of which was aborted due to the War. But GAZ-61, a full-wheel drive version, designed by V. A. Gratchev, was put into mass production. It could climb the gradient of 38`, and negotiate the fords 720 mm deep. Some specialists also assumed that GAZ-61, as a cross-country vehicle, was even better than semi-caterpillar vehicles, provided it was fitted with tires featuring developed grousers.

By the end of the 30-s, GAZ plant became the leading car-producer in the USSR and assembled 450.000 vehicles. It launched into production 17 models and versions of different vehicles, producing 68.3% of the vehicles manufactured in the USSR. The greater part of credit for this goes to S. S. Dyakonov, its first director (1898 - 1938).

The Great Patriotic War made it absolutely necessary to restructure the GAZ product range and start manufacturing military equipment for the army needs. The GAZ plant designers and engineers urgently developed and prepared for production completely new vehicles, such as GAZ-64 and GAZ-67 cross-county vehicles, БА-64 and БА-64Б armored vehicles, T-60 and T-79 tanks. Along with the trucks, the plant started production of self-propelled guns, ammunition and other military equipment.

A. A. Lipgart, N. A. Astrov, V. A. Dedkov, V. A. Grachev, A. M. Krieger, L. V. Kostkin, Y. N. Sorochkin, V. K. Rubtsov were, among the others, the outstanding designers of innovative military equipment.

The GAZ plant laborers did not spare themselves, working for the front in the rear under the motto: "Everything for the front, everything for the victory".


Experienced foremen like V. F. Shubin, A. Kharlamov, V. Tihomirov, and others, led their teams of efficient workers, such as A. C. Busygin, I. I. Kardashin, A. S. Kuzmin, V. F. Shubin, A. A. Lipgart, I. K. Loskutov, A. N. Somov and A. D. Proskurin, whose names are written down in the annals of the Great Patriotic War.
Formidable destructions caused by the Nazi bombings in the summer of 1943 could not crush the high morale of GAZ plant workers. Headed by I. K. Loskutov (1900 - 1982), General Director, they restored 50 buildings and constructions only in 50 days and nights and repaired 9000 units of equipment.

During the years of the Great Patriotic War, GAZ produced:
176,221 motor vehicles;
about 12,000 tanks;
over 9,000 self-propelled guns;
24,000 mortars;
232,000 automobile engines;
30,000 rockets for the "Katyusha" multi-rail rocket-launcher.



GAZ 1.5-ton trucks covered over 40,000,000 km on the "Road of life" in 1941 only. They carried 1.5 million of refugees, 271,000 tons of food products and fodder, 32,000 tons of ammunition and armaments, 35,000 tons of fuels and lubricants, 23,000 tons of coal - 361,000 tons of various cargoes, all in all.

The government highly appraised the work of the GAZ plant employees during the years of the War and awarded the plant with the orders of Lenin, Red Banner and Patriotic War I class.

Even when the War was still going on, the Gorky GAZ plant started developing new models of trucks and passenger cars that completely changed the entire range of GAZ products in the first post-war years. It required really gigantic efforts to re-equip and re-tool the production lines in such a short period of time. It is worth mentioning, that about 4036 units of equipment were installed or reinstalled in one year only.


GAZ-51 truck was the first in the family of newly introduced vehicles that went into production in January 1946.

This vehicle came down in history as a perfectly reliable, rational and economical truck. It was in production for 29 years and, in spite of its revered age, can still be seen running on the road.



GAZ-51 was then quite a state-of-the-art and perfect model. Though the designers had to slightly increase its weight as compared to its forerunner, its payload capacity was 1.5 times greater and the distance run between overhauls was 2 times longer. Its reinforced frame and chassis parts were considerably endurable and could stand greater strains. Its 6-cylinder 70 h. p. engine ensured the speed of up to 70 km/h. During its 30-year period of operation, the vehicle underwent numerous modifications. Originally, due to shortage of sheet steel in post-war years, it had a cabin made on wooden-metal structure with wooden doorsteps. Only some time later the cabin became an all-metal one. The following years saw a whole number of changes introduced with the version of this truck GAZ-51A. The structure of the vehicle proved to be so perfect that it was produced in Poland, China and North Korea. It was used as the base for numerous modifications and models, e.g. GAZ-63 cross-country vehicle, GAZ-651 bus (later PAZ-651 and PAZ-653), GAZ-93 dump trucks, GAZ-51П arctic tractor, and a number of other vehicles.

The second vehicle launched into production was GAZ M-20, a famous "Pobeda" (Victory). The first batch was ready in June 1946.


That car was destined to have a long and successful life cycle and it proved to embody a new bright stage of auto industry development not only at home, but also abroad.



GAZ M-20 is outstanding for its original shape of body with extremely low drag coefficient of 0.34. Its advanced design opened up a new tendency in the auto fashion of those times which was further developed by many world car manufacturers. "Pobeda" was the first Soviet car with a unitized body and the first "wingless" serial production car in the world. The car also featured an independent front suspension, hydraulically driven brakes, front hinges of the doors, and a V-shaped windshield. Its comfortable heated compartment accommodated 5 passengers, including the driver. It is worth noting, that the vehicle was equipped with a radio-set.

In addition to the basic sedan model, a convertible version was launched into production in 1949. More than 37,000 taxi versions were manufactured, to increase the country's taxi park. All in all, over 235,000 GAZ M-20 cars rolled off the assembly line during 12.5 years of production. It was used as the basis for the all-wheel drive GAZ-72 modification.

The "Pobeda" passenger car received excellent references worldwide. It was exported not only to the countries of East Europe but to some West-European markets as well. The Warsaw FSO plant in Poland produced the Varshava car under the Soviet license for GAZ M-20 for 23 years.


In 1948, by the ruling of the government, the designers team headed by A. A. Lipgart and N. A. Yushmanov started developing a new passenger car of upper-medium class designated later as GAZ-12 "ZIM". Serial production started in 1950.



The car had a number of advanced technological features and improved level of comfort, e.g. rear seats heating, three-band radio-set, automatically released turn indicator switch. The car was powered by a supercharged 95 h. p. GAZ-51 engine that made it reach the speed of up to 125 km/h which were the best parameters in that model range.Besides GAZ-12 with the closed sedan type of body there was a convertible version and GAZ-12Б ambulance car that was a serial production model.

In 1952, GAZ-69 off-roader replaced its forerunner GAZ-67. It had maximum commonality with the then current GAZ models. It was a simple, robust and very endurable vehicle that had a successful history of operation at home and abroad.


GAZ-21 "Volga" passenger car, launched into production by the end of 1956, is considered by us to be a special, classical kind of car in our country.

For many people, the "21" became a symbol of a whole epoch. It was an advanced model for its time and it still has quite a few fans even nowadays. There is growing interest towards this car in the last few years. Popular "hot-roaders" based on the "21", not to speak about the serial production models, can be seen on the roads which testifies to the fact that GAZ-21 was one of the most robust and endurable cars. It was successfully used as a taxi, too.

The design of GAZ-21 turned out to be a perfect one and, at the same time, very original for those years. Its designers, N. I. Borisov, V. S. Solovyov, A. M. Nevzorov, G. V. Evart, P. K. Lapshin and M. S. Mokeev, to name a few, found a very lucky compromise between the European and the American school of design.



The car featured a new 70 h. p. power train with a V-shaped combustion chamber and could run at maximum speed of 130 km/h. As compared to the "Pobeda" car, the aerodynamics of the Volga was considerably better. It took only 34 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, which was 11 seconds better.

GAZ-21 was updated not once both in its exterior and structure, new modifications and versions were continuously added up to the line. 1962 saw start of production of GAZ-22 station wagon and of an ambulance vehicle. Volga in luxury execution was exported abroad.


1959 saw the launch of the new flagship 7-seat GAZ-13 "Chaika" (Seagull).

The designers of this premium car were inspired by the American models that represented excellent examples of the then popular auto fashion.




From the point of view of its structure, "Chaika" was certainly interesting thanks to a number of technical innovations. It was equipped with a V-shaped 8-cylinder 195 h. p. engine with a four-chamber carburetor, hydraulic power steering, and a hydromechanical gearbox. The gears were switched with the help of the push buttons and the radio antenna was pulled out automatically. The body also featured electrical window lifters, windshield washer, all-band radio-set with automatic tuning, fog lamps, etc. Besides sedan, there were small-series production models, like GAZ-13A limousine and GAZ-13Б convertible.

To give credit to the achievements of the engineers and designers of GAZ-21 "Volga", GAZ-13 "Chaika" and GAZ-52, they were awarded the Grand Prix of the Brussels World Exhibition in 1958.

In March 1958, I. I. Kiselyov was appointed General Director of the GAZ Plant, to lead it for the following 25 years. Under his leadership, powerful specialized plants were established which helped turn the GAZ plant into a major industrial group.

The 60-s saw the process of renovation of the GAZ truck range. GAZ-52, Gaz-53A, GAZ-66 and their modifications formed the third-generation GAZ truck family. They had newly developed power trains, including powerful V-8. GAZ-53A payload capacity was increased up to 4 tons and its durability considerably grew as well.

GAZ-66 is worth noting separately.

Designed and developed by the team with A. D. Prosvirnin at its head, this vehicle was in production for over 25 years, it met the requirements of its users all this time.



Its payload capacity was two tons and it could tow a trailer with GVW of two tons. Regulated tire pressure and 8-speed gearbox helped the driver to easily overcome the difficulties of cross-country riding. It could climb uphill with gradient of up to 37 degrees on dry land and of 22 degrees on dry sand. The innovations it featured were as follows: hypoid final drive, all-metal cargo platform, forward tilting cabin, power steering, windshield washer, etc. Thanks to its outstanding performance characteristics, GAZ-66 quickly gained recognition of its drivers. This kind of recognition was also marked by the Quality Sign of the government.


GAZ-24 "Volga" passenger car was developed in the same period and launched into mass production in 1970.

The new Volga was characterized by improved aerodynamics, more spacious saloon and boot, a safer structure and better drivability.



The "24" had simple, even austere, forms, looked grand and was an embodiment of high quality, prestige and dignity. Its strong body and durable running gear made this vehicle indispensable as a taxi. It was fitted with a 98 h. p. engine and could run at the speed of up to 140 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 23 seconds (as compared to 34 seconds with GAZ-21).

A. D. Prosvirnin, N. A. Yumashev, N. G. Mozohin, V. I. Borisov, G. V. Evart were among those who "guided the first steps" of GAZ-24 in its long and successful life. The vehicle received highest awards at many auto shows, e.g. the International Exhibition in Plovdiv, Bolgaria in 1969 and in Leipzig, Germany in 1970. It took only three years to develop and start the production of GAZ-24-01 taxi, a cargo-passenger vehicle and an ambulance, all built on GAZ-24 platform.

The late 1970-s saw the start of production of the third-generation limousine car GAZ-14 "Chaika" designed by the team consisting of N. A. Yushmanov, V. N. Nosakov, S. V. Volkov, Yu. I. Dokukin and headed by A. D. Prosvirnin. This beautiful high-class seven-seater was famous for its advanced technological decisions and was as comfortable as any of the American juggernauts. It was powered by a 220 h. p. V-8 and reached the speed of 175 km/h. GAZ-14 was the most compact and light among the family of limousines. At the same time, it turned out to be some kind of a test bench for innovative materials, structures and technological processes that were used in mass production of other GAZ models.

A wide-scale reconstruction was carried out at the Plant in the 60-s -70-s.


It started with retooling of the foundry shops. The facilities of gray and malleable cast iron were expanded and equipped with new machinery, foundry shop №6 was the first precision model casting shop to be built in the country in 1962, a new transfer line of mould casting was put into operation that was also the first one of this type in the country. New plants were built, such as: press-dies and press-forms plant in 1967, gearbox plant in 1968, truck axles in 1972.


Industrial group "AvtoGAZ" was formed on the basis of affiliated plants and divisions of the existing enterprise on August 24, 1971. It was renamed as PO (Industrial Group) "GAZ" in 1973, comprising 11 plants.

In 1971, the GAZ plant was awarded with Lenin order for successful production of new trucks and passenger cars for the purposes of the country's economy.

The reconstruction and technical re-equipment, begun in the 60-70-s, were intensively continued in the 1980-s. The reconstruction of the 80-s is the greatest of its type throughout the entire history of the GAZ plant. The first stage project of expanding envisaged construction of new production buildings with the total area of 700,000 m2, out of which the production facility of diesel power plants was 250,000 m2. The construction works started in 1984 and was over with the launch of the engine plant in 1993. Development and production of diesel engines for GAZ trucks became the main direction of the technological strategy of the plant in the 1980-s.

In 1984, the first GAZ-4301 truck with a diesel air-cooled engine was assembled. Later, the designers developed a 9-ton dump-truck train GAZ-6008. This vehicle was the first one to be powered by the diesel power plant, designed in-house by the GAZ specialists.

Simultaneously with the production of GAZ-24 model, GAZ-3102 Volga was launched into serial production, too.


It had an updated front end and rear end that made the car look still more solid. The interior and the instrument panel were restyled, too. Its seats had headrests and the braking system was considerably modernized. The initial batches of GAZ-3102 were equipped with antechamber torch ignition, and so the vehicle was very popular with state and Communist Party leaders as an office car.



Private citizens were able to buy GAZ-24-10, an updated version of GAZ-24, specifically developed for that purpose. Its engine was more powerful, its suspension had been improved, its ignition was of contactless electronic type and its tires were the size of 202 mm. It had an uplifted radiator grill and a more modern interior.


In the late 1980-s the Government set the task of developing a new executive car GAZ-3105 that later went into small-series production.


In 1980, PO "GAZ" was awarded the prestigious international award "Golden Mercury", for its considerable contribution into auto industry and international trade.

In March 1981, the 10,000,000-th GAZ vehicle rolled off the production lines of the plant and in December 1995 - the 15,000,000-th one.

In November 1992 the Gorky automobile plant was transformed into an open joint-stock company and N. A. Pugin was elected President of OAO "GAZ".






Gorky Automobile Plant was founded in 1932 and is an Open Joint Stock Company. For 70 years of its history "GAZ" has become a center of national machine building. The collective of the company manufactured more than 150 various models and versions of vehicles and more than 16 mln. passenger cars and trucks have been manufactured.

Maar je kunt ook even een paar weken afwachten, ik denk dat je de bedoeling dan wel snapt.

With 38 years of solidness and tradition, Agrale owns 4 industrial plants, being the only Brazilian company with 100% national capital making vehicles, tractors and diesel engines. It belongs to Francisco Stedile Group, that includes Agrale and its subsidiaries (Agrale Amazônia and Agrale Assembly Plant), Lavrale, Fazenda Três Rios, Germani Foods and Agritech - Yanmar Tractors).
This successful story began in 1965 when Franscisco Stedile Group acquired Agrisa's shareholding control. Agrale's first product developed with its own technology, which has been a bestseller item, is the 4100 tractor. Since then, the company has developed many other products like trucks, chassis, tractors, engines, generators, motorcycles and Furgovan: Agrale's cargo wagon. One of the most important moments for the company was the achievement of ISO 9000 Certification for tractors, trucks, minibus chassis and motorcycles, assuring quality standards known around the world to its products and services. Another factor that has contributed to Agrale's growth in national and international markets were the technological partnerships made with prestigious companies like MV AUGUSTA, RUGGERINI, ZETOR, NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, STANDARD MOTOR CORPORATION, DEUTZ and MARCOPOLO.
In the last two years, the company started the operation of its first productive unit outside Brazil, Colombia Unit, aiming to manufacture trucks and minibuses chassis, installed in Bogotá city. On May 2002, Agrale launched the FURGOVAN vehicle into the market, entering into a new segment of the market, cargo trucks. In 2003, Agrale placed an agreement with Lombardini, one of the biggest manufacturers of stationary diesel engines in the world. Agrale nowadays distributes Lombardini products and services in Brazil.
Since the beginning of its activities, Agrale has produced over 338,000 diesel engines, 64,000 tractors, 100,000 motorcycles and scooters and 34,000 trucks and chassis. Nowadays Agrale has respected name, associated with quality, durability and efficiency of its products.

Goed nieuws voor de fans van dit topic: Ik heb de Geïllustreerde terreinwagen Encyclopedie gekocht (aanrader, slechts 9,95) en daar kan ik voorlopig een heleboel aparte auto's uit halen

Maar nu eerst: Cubaanse bussen.
De bussen in Cuba zijn in 3 categorien te verdelen:
1/ Oude Nederlandse
2/ trekker-opleggers
3/ oude Russische

De opleggerbussen zijn soms gemaakt van oude russische karrosseriën.












Geeft meteen een hele andere betekenis aan het begrip 'VW-busje'





klik hier voor de site van het bedrijf dat de meeste Nederlandse bussen aan Cuba levert

Voor wie echt interesse heeft kan ik even in min oude Transmobiels bladeren, om te kijken in wlek nummer er een artikel over dit onderwerp stond, en de methode van nabestellen doorgeven.

Gedeeltelijk ontopic:
Klonk, als je die Tatra filmpjes nog wilt hebben moet je me maar eens mailen (adres staat in profiel)

Jou mailadres had ik al
Je mailtje niet btw. Maar dat is offtopic, en kunnen we beter per mail regelen

De VW vrachtwagen, met de T3 cabine, is ook een tijd in de USA te koop geweest.. Maar dan wel met Peterbilt of Kenworth logo later is dat type vervangen door de leyland Roadtrain/DAF 45.

Misschien is de DAF motor vervangen door een exemplaar van Scania?

Bertone Freeclimber





Zie ik daar een BMW typeplaatje, of moet ik een nieuwe bril kopen?

Dit Zuid-Koreaanse merk is de opvolger van Ha DOng-Hwan. DIt bedrijf werd in 1977 overgenomen. In 1986 werd het op phaar beurt weer over genomen door SsangYong, die er haar autoafdeling van maakte.
De voertuigen zijn Willys Jeep CJ licenties.

Nee, de Freeclimber is gebaseerd op de Daihatsu Rocky, maar met een BMW motor en andere aanpassingen.

Skoda Favorit Cabrio! Staat hier vlakbij.

plaatjes doen het niet

Inderdaad! Gaaf bakkie

Ik kan het je nog sterker vertellen.... De Lada Samara cabrio werd niet door Lada gebouwd, maar door Valmet, een autofabriek die voor andere fabrieken produceert, en die gespecialiseerd is in cabrio's... drie keer raden welke auto naast de Samara van de lopende band liep.....


















De Porsche Boxster

Heb zelfs nog een foldertje van Valmet liggen (ja, inderdaad, ee andere tak van Valmet bouwt tractoren, maar de bedrijven hebben nu geen band meer)

Ik vermoed dat het een Microcar uit de jaren '50 is, zoals een Unicar of een Allard Clipper

Wat is het?
