Hi Guys. I had a marvelous time searching for the very rarely spotted Lada Niva in Austria. And Success. Here are some pics of me and Jakob( powdersnow) on our forum. He was a great host. Real Nivaesti. Vienna is absolutely beautiful and there is beer everywhere. Although, last week was the hottest in recorded history. Nearly 40 degrees Celsius with humidity above 60%. Again, and very fortunately, cold beer is freely available. We met up on Friday and went to visit Gumzi. He has 3 ladas. I took a picture of 1. They have a real problem with rust. Thanks to all the salt used on the snowy road. To help prevent it, the vehicles are lathered in grease, as you can see on the picture. Enjoy. [URL=http://s1141.photobucket.com/user/spenniecash/media/IMG-20130621-00091.jpg.html [/URL] A random Niva parked outside the War Museum. Me and Jacob(trying to save TIbet) outside Hutteldorf looking at the woods. The Niva got thirsty. So we stopped for a beer outside Hutteldorf. Inside the cockpit with the upgraded dashboard. Niva or spaceshuttle? This niva belongs to Gumzi. He recently bought it and was installing a radio when we arrived.

First,the shirt was disapointing, when i met Chris at the subway station, but only for some seconds We had very intersting conversation about Niva and others and i learned a lot about South Afrika. Bad i didnt had more time, so we had only some hours together. Was a big pleasure to meet up with Chris! I really didnt expect do meet some of you guys so soon. Its great! I am looking forward for the next meeting! Heatwave was just for you- today normal weather is back- rain and 12 degrees. I will never again work on my Niva. In future i only will operate! Big thanks for the nice present! it is just the fixing for choke. Since three years already Niva can go to space even without switches klickgreets Jakob
