Hi all, We (myself and my wife Marian) are new Lada owners (1.7), hoping to join the ranks of the enlightened few We came across this forum (through google) while researching whether or not to take the plunge on our first Lada. We live in Rosebank, Cape Town and have yet to experience the full potential of our Lada as it has mostly been towed around behind the wife's car - something we are hoping to change in the very near future. The car is currenly with Cape Town's beacon of hope (The Lada Doc), undergoing an extensive drive train overhaul and some general servicing. But we're looking forward to the day when we can throw the tent in the back and head for the bush/mountain to try something like this... ..or not quite! In the meantime, we'll have to make do with the forum! Paul

Thanks guys. Nice to feel welcome and instantly connected with some knowledgable, sympathetic experts. I've spent some time looking at the forum and it's an invaluable resource and really helping to keep the Lada Niva alive (and kicking ;D)
Cheers!

Cheers Mike, We can't wait to take her for a proper spin! We're looking forward to getting beyond the repair phase and moving on to mods ;D decent tyres, lift kit, spots etc ... etc ... ... I guess owning a lada is not a destination, more of a journey/lifestyle choice Paul

"I guess owning a lada is not a destination, more of a journey/lifestyle choice"
That is so true, if you need ideas for the lift, tyres, spots(electical wiring) etc just ask.
