I wonder how many know that the Lada isn't only the name of a 4wd but also
the name of a car.
And it's just as ...unn..well you know....as the 4wd :))) Drove one for 5000
miles once...yes miles, thats what the odometer said . Bloody uncomfortable
seats but went like a rocket and had a heater hotter than bushfire. Built
mostly in Russia with bits from Hungary, and Romania, and...and.....

Cheers
Jim

The 4x4 Lada was badged as 'Niva'.
For the dollars forked out they were actually a reasonable buy. They were
$14k new in NZ on road.
