Hubert Wirth, a 70-year-old German man, has arrived in Moscow from his hometown of Pforzheim near Stuttgart after a month-long trip on a vintage tractor, just to visit the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Wirth is a former Mercedes mechanic and an experienced tractor driver, who has traveled a lot in his modified 1936 Lanz Bulldog tractor, which to him is both a tiny house and at the same time a solid vehicle. The tractor is decorated with World Cup symbols and a sign that reads "Hallo, Moskau! (Hello, Moscow)".
