It’s a shame that Lada costs so much here, if it were cheaper and in pickup form you could probably use it on fields but then again it looks pretty small so might not be able to fit much or even be certified to tow here.
I can’t think of anyone who uses the new Jimny for agricultural work either.
How about not having a sig at all?

Can you post the current spec please :shock:

Like riding a lit firework :lol:
Fuckmassive V8 mit turbots
That is highly believable given the way it eats up the straights - 40-120mph in the time it takes a passenger to shit thier pants a little.

Christ alive that's devastatingly quick.
Thats because it is a V8 with turbos!. He's running it at 0.5 bar of boost. Capable of 2.0 bar. Watch the speed differential in this video.

Oo ar.

I take it you saw Jonny's picture on Twitter:


I like the Niva though I prefer the look of the older front end. The £800 extra for the air-con version is a bit of a bargain upgrade, and £12k is not the price if you register it yourself, it's £12k+VAT so £14.4k. You also have to pay £420+VAT for the warranty once registered. So you're paying them ~£2,000 to IVA it which is probably pretty good value; I bet there are some modifications required and it's not just paperwork.

Just an IVA test fee is a few hundred quid, and there's not many centres so can be a bit of a trek for it - minimum half a day out for someone. Then £55 plus first years VED to the DVLA. Then numberplates, etc.

Extra Niva footage:

That rear shot looks quite nice but when I clicked on the video the whole car just looked awful. The hood is terrible too.

^ I'll have mine in that colour scheme without the kit. The hood is one of those never-really-meant-to-be-used, emergency only things. This probably isn't the best country to own one in :(

I’m not big on the Speedsters in general to be fair.

Unpopular opinion but I love RWB 993s. The kit doesn't work with a speedster though.

The GT2 style bolt on arches are cool but the triple stacked wings they often add are daft and inevitably they have silly "stanced" ride heights.

This was an excellent video but I, like you, was awaiting some cold start excellence 😟

The Rocket Bunny S14 kit is awesome.
