Labour day long weekend run '08

[canucksafari]

These vehicles were built to the highest Russian technical and professional standards and were well-proven all over the U.S.S.R. before that country's unfortuanate manufacturing collapse. Lada symbolized the true competative spirit of Mother Russia! Picture included; make me an offer!

You see new ones all over Ecuador - so they are still being built and marketed. I asked about them and was suprised to hear the word "calidad" and not only "precio" in the reply from folks there.

Bill, I think "yours" has reached the "dust to dust" stage.

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
Make me an offer,
For this pile of rust!

Mudbog to river,
Gulley to ditch,
Won't somebody buy,
This sonofabitch!

Volga to Kolva,
Moscow to Yug,
Please somebody take,
This Kozumen slug!

Pics are almost done, due to some glitch in my internet it kept trying to upload crap I already uploaded, along with some other issues, anyways, in about 30 minutes you can enjoy all of it. For those that did not make it, see what you missed and start kicking yourselves in the ass.

You should have a look at Lada's new safe crumple zones. Way better the what we have in North America:

For that matter you have to appreciate their high budget, special effects they use in their ads (the Russian army must be proud):
