Really sorry we didn't meet Spikes despite I was 2 days in your town. I met Stella @ Adrian van Tonder in Hazyview with stunning Lada and we had a supper with the families. Their car was beige Niva 1600 looking like brand new with 1700 injection engine ( ), all electrical components from VW and a big carb nobody knows where from. Do you know them? I have more photos with Lada owners all over the country but majority of them are around the table,... it looks that eating and drinking is the top priority for all. No way... Ventz

Yes, I know of the NIVA and may have met Stella when they bought it in Rocky's Drift. I was also interested in the car but missed it by a day
Pity we could not meet up during the days though

This marks the sale of our ever reliable Lada. We bought it in DBN at the end of last year and travelled 16000km's from Durban to the north of Mozambique, Through Zimbabwe, Kruger, Swaziland, Nelspruit... back to Durban and finally down the garden route home to Cape Town. This vehicle has since been for a gearbox overhaul, service (repairs from an *^%!&£^%* theif in the night), paint touch up's and mechanical service by Ventz LADA and is currently at the 4x4 Lada Doctor getting touched up for sale. PLEASE BUY NELLY! She needs a home and someone to run her up mountains, through sand bars, down grassy knolls, and across the harshest terrain SA has to offer. I Bought her for R40000.00, spent R18000 and would let her part for a mere R38000!!! She comes with Bull bars, Roof Rack, Tow Bars, Spotlights, Speakers - bastards stole my radio! -seats to sit on, wheels to make yo go and is Mechanically sound as a pound!

HiBobby,
You will have to use FLICKR or Photobucket to post pictures to the forum. We are still 105Mb over the attachment limit.

Hi all www.imgur.com seems to be a good option for publishing to the forum as well. Sign up is completely straight forward and choosing pictures for uploading is very easy. It may be a good option for users who do not like the Photobucket and FLICKR options. Selecting the link to post to the forum could not be easier. Each type of link is clearly marked. Give it a try Spikes

Imgur also has an Android app. The free one from DUIKER works fine.

My Fiance said the other day, she trusts a Niva more than a Land Rover!!!! Arlo and his comments with his pictures proved why she said it. . . . Very very nice photos these!!!
