People with Ladas (older or newer) likely have many cars behind them, and speeding away is not an option:)

You have obviously never had a 1600 with twin Webber carbs, Ed. I have. 0-60 in less than 9 seconds. Used to really piss the boy racers in their Peugeot 205's off :-)

I suppose you think that Skoda are a laugh as well? Even though their pre-Volkwagon versions won the under 1300 class of the RAC rally 17 years running?

Sorry, but I really do get cheesed off with stereotyping. At least I suppose doing it to a car does no harm but it is a lazy shot and one that anyone with more than half a brain can do without.
