Lada niva

I see Lada are importing the 4x4 niva back into the uk,

Just under £10,000, comes with a 1.7 pertol engine and a lpg conversion, no abs and 0-60 in 17.5 seconds. mmm sounds tempting

If enough of us buy them we could start the" Lada 4x4 owners club" and have sections on- bump starting, how too push a niva, best breakdown organisations etcWell done Lada you've put a smile back on my face
