Spent a few days with the Lada in and around Darling. I think this Lada has been the best investment I made in a while. Attachments:

The current AA rate we use at work is R4 per km, as the fuel cost for the Lada is around R1 per km the rest goes toward maintenance. Over the Last 2 months I collect R 3500 towards my maintence bill, that goes a long way in a Lada. Best buy in a long time. Attachments:

Great to see positive comments about our NIVAs And if you can do most or all of the work on the NIVA personally, the maintenance bill will look even better

Hi Steve
Yes the pics are from Darling WC, I visit the surrounding farms quite often, (some nice dirt roads). I will have to miss the fesitval this year as I am off to Kleinsee in the Northern Cape. I have been to the festival last year and will recommend it to anyone.
Let me know when your Lada is up and running I could pop in with my next visit
Wayne

Marius,
I think you and Bernhard are the only two members who had their NIVA s from new?

Seems a bit faster now Here is another at a favourite spot in Yzerfontein until the developers got hold of it Shortly after this pic the beach ban came into effect. This particular area was considered extremely vulnerable habitat for certain birds like the Rooi Tobie. About two years later the bulldozers came in and flattened everything! Marius Attachments:

Marius I have posted the photos of your Niva on the facebook page. Really some of the prettiest Niva photos I have seen in a long time. If you do not want them posted there just let me know and I will remove them.
