[Trevor Legate]

Oh no, was not knocking the dear old Lada. My sister used to drive one and I had some steady fun with it. They just go on for ever. The analogy I was looking for has just come back - I was thinking of the early Suzuki SJ (Samurai) things. Drove lots of those (photographed the brochures) but live to tell the tale. Dunno how!! Slow and scary at the same time......I forgot how bad since I have driven the experiences from my mind. Horrible things, imho.

Will bear the coupe weight in imnd and check that out. They should be road legal in the next 2 - 3 weeks when the SVA hand out the 'pink slip' and Nigel is happy with the steering feedback.
