pandamonium Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hi everyone, I've been pushed toward this site by snotty 'classic' car owners.Does my car qualify for the forum???? Its a 1990 Lada Riva 1300 Estate. I use it daily but it is in suprisingly good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hi Anyone who drives a Lada is welcome here I must get another Riva at some point. Your one does look very solid, the front wings on my 97 1.5 saloon on a P plate were starting to bubble but no signs of that on your one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Very cool!! Looks clean!How does it go with the 1300 unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Not as bad as you'd expect. 80mph is ok, if a little noisy ( turn up the radio) It appears to have been pampered its whole life, not a spot of rust -- and I'm being serious. 20,000 miles, full service history etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Weclome, glad to hear that Torsten's Lada sale had a happy ending.Me too, it wasn't looking good. Glad you rescued it.I hope the spots on your drive are from your previous daily... the Lada looks mint, btw. Loving Project Pandamonium - superb concept and only 23 notes so far!R U '02Gimp or Bladerunner?Anyway, welcome - this forum is a warm refuge from snobs, chavs etc, and I like to think it's populated by the most open-minded breed of petrolheads.

MrRegieRitmo Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I knew the Lada looked familiar! In some ways it would have been better if it wasn't Torsten's cos it would have meant that there is another good one out there. This world is too small though.
