A few photos from today's trip.

My daughter and I drove through the historical sites of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.

The monastery built by Trezzini on the orders of Anna Ioannovna.

From here, Elizabeth rode out to the guards and raised them to rebel in order to regain the throne

Znamenka Estate. Palace of Count Alexei Grigorievich Razumovsky.

In fact, Alexei was Elizabeth's common-law husband for many years, and according to rumors of that time, Elizabeth gave birth to a son and a daughter. Because of these rumors, after Elizabeth's death, several "her children" were discovered. The most famous of them is Princess Tarakanova.

Greenhouses:

Next, the Sergievka estate. The estate of Count Rumyantsev.

This palace was built by the architect Stackenschneider later, when in the 19th century the estate passed to the royal family.
And during the time of Elizabeth Petrovna, the estate was owned by Field Marshal Pyotr Alexandrovich Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky. One of the heroes of the Seven Years' War. Under his command, Russian troops conquered Poland and took the impregnable Kolberg. Thus opening a direct route to Berlin. Unlike Count Apraksin, who turned out to be a traitor, he was removed from command by Elizabeth and brought to trial.
True, there is little left of the Rumyantsev family here. Only half-ruined bridges and a head in the park.

The last point of our route, the Gostilitsy estate. The estate of Kirill Razumovsky, Alexei's younger brother. He was the ruler of all of eastern Ukraine and part of Belarus.

You ain't lyin' there. So far just a fuel pump.

Honestly though, I'll take those type of issues every day over the electronic gremlins I've dealt with in my modern cars. Problem is, I have one of those too. 🤣

My main concern is that, though old vehicles are more straightforward to work on, we're forced more and more to rely on aftermarket parts of continually decreasing quality.
