Don't mock the Lada Niva Bainsy, great conversion by the way, specially the coloured hay string(probably the strongest thing on the truck), anyway according to Top Gear last night this is the best vehicle the Commo Russians have ever made!!!!!!!!! LMFAO should have seen the others.

I'm sure the Lada Niva owners on this site are proud owners of their best ever Russian built, designed and engineered vehicle, it actally drove thru some grssey area until it hit mud and water and was pulled out by police I think.
Go the few Lada Nivas that are still left, they must have been made on a Wednesday, the good manufacturing day of the week

nah im not going to sell it because iv spent a fair bit on it to get it where it is today. iv spent $12.35 (yes twelve dollars and thirty five cents) and im worried i wont make that money back on it so im going to keep it. plus its the only car i know of with 69 inch mickey thompson centipede pro comp tyres. it also took a long time, i think it was 25 minuets, to put the body lift in. i had to extend the gear stick and cut a big hole in the floor which wasnt easy

this car does 3 second 1/4 mile passes. 0 - 500 Km/h in just 6 seconds. got banned from eveery 4wd competition event cos it was just simply too good. runs on a mix of nitro, bio diesel and hydrogen. has zero emissions and blows flames out the chimneys. oh and i forgot to mention the blow off valves
