did some nice offroading this weekend: the first Niva is my sons with him at the wheel Charles, i know you like this one: Stefaans 1600 descending a nice steep hill: my son again in his 2003 multipoint injection Niva. This was the first time he went offroading in his own Niva: me, back up hill again, just for the fun of it, ... ...and i did it very slow just to show off my torsen ;D i noticed that the photographer had some beer, so i went to take it away from him ;D

Great stuff, Jan.
It is a good sight to see an NIVA convoy enjoying the back-roads. I see at least two of you had action video cam mounted. Has the videos been uploaded to the web?If yes, please provide the link Groete

Jan you were right!! A couple of months ago you said with just a ball joint spacer you can get a lift. I said I will test it. I finally got around to doing it today.
I think this is the fastest and cheapest way to lift a Niva in front. How long did you drive around with just the ball joint lift in front?

Some pics of walby, one of the moderators on our forum (also copy/paste)Hier de paar foto's van de Uber Coole CoMeister himself: Beetje stof Ne Metal Man met als co The Man of Steel Omdat er veel verwarring is hoe dit schattig bolle super zacht pluis nu heet? Frigo, Figo of Vigo??? Noem ik hem gewoon Gonzo! Omdat we oud oud tegen gekomen waren wat natuurlijk super goed brand (NOT!) hebben we er wat van mee genomen. Het gevoel van snelheid in deze foto is alleen maar een camera trucje, iedereen weet dat wij super verantwoordelijk rijden. Het vliegveldje: Let bij de volgende op de schaduw van het netjes gestapeld houd: Uitslag race 1: 1. Spoet 2. Stefaan 3. Jarits 4. Tom 5. Jan :shock: Uitslag race 2: 1. Spoet 2. Jarits 3. Jan 4. Tom 5. Stefaan Omdat Spoet alle races won heeft hij zich bij één race terug getrokken, hier staan ze dan op een rijtje: En de valse start van Jarits: Start volgende race: Spoet laat Stefaan een keertje winnen, waarna Stefaan aangeeft dat hijzelf een "Loser" is want hij kan nog eens niet "L" schrijven zonder fout te maken: Het was wel een lekker lang stuk: En om af te sluiten nog een foto vanuit de coplaats: Niet aangeraden voor de beginnende Co. Al bij al een echt super weekeind met super gezelschap!

Marius slowest is more like it.
The book says that the niva will go from 0-100km/h in 23seconds. That is a lie!!!
A niva is not that fast.

Hi Jan
Do you have any internet links to the fortifications that you visited. They look very old. If you do I'd appreciate it if you can post or PM them
