Test drive

Posted: 2008-12-07 15:53

Today I went with South Swedish Offroaders to Tomelilla to participate in some real offroad driving. They said that this track was an easy one but for me it was quite challenging. At least it looked quite impossible when we arrived. The Niva had no difficulties and after three rounds I felt as safe as can be. I managed to destroy a bit of the exhaust system but hopefully it's easily repaired. I have uploaded some pictures to our media library. -knut

Today our Lada got an important update. Radio, speakers and a casette-deck is now installed. What a feeling. I am so looking forward to cruising the desert with Øystein Sunde in my ears...
