Thank You AA

My wife and I decided to spend the Christmas and New Year period in Preston, Lancashire so she could visit various members of her family over the festive period. We travelled up from Devon in my Volvo V70 with our three dogs on the 14th December planning to return home on the 4th January. On Saturda...

Re: Niva 17i for sale

Arrangements have now been made for this car to be transported to a new home in sunny Devon. S*d the cost. Can't let another one go.

Re: Nova 17i SORNed

I drove up from Devon to have a look at this car on 16th May. It looked fantastic, the bodywork appeared immaculate and the engine sounded fine. Admittedly I didn't test drive it, (due to ULEZ), and I was somewhat suspicious of the MOT which had been issued on 7th May mainly due to the fact that it ...

Re: New Russian models

I like the look of the Volga. It has retained a classic Volga grill and is, in my opinion, easily identifiable. The other two just look like so many other modern SUV's. They all look so alike these days. All individuality seems to have gone out of the window.

Re: Lada Riva 1.3 Select 5-speed.

Not really a major problem if they haven't. It's a "safe" engine, i.e. non-interference. My father had one break at 60mph. Cost £25 and a few pennies to supply and fit a new belt. Admittedly that was back in the 1990's. A colleague at work was most "put out" when I told him, (i.e. thoroughly p'd off...

Re: Free Lada Pins and Badges.

OK. Zel has bagged the anniversary badge, (No. 6), and one of the larger pins, (No. 2) Neil, I presume you mean the gold coloured tie pin, (No. 7). I should have made it clearer, No.s 1 and 2 are also tie pins. I still have one No. 2 left if that is the one you meant. If you gentlemen would care to ...
