Nik, I always thought that the car you've shown was a Russian built Fiat 128 called the Lada. I'm not familiar with the Vaz nameplate. Spacebo, Ronovitch.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by LarryIII
[B]In high school (1958-1962) my buddy's girlfriend's father had a Citroen DS-21. It had a 4 cyl. engine, auto trans, & "air over oil" suspension. I beleive it was a 1960 model. It was black. We used to double date in that car alot and IMHO it had the best back seat of any car in which I've ever ridden. That includes my dad's Sedan deVille. The DS-21 had the air-oil suspension on a car with a 124 inch wheelbase. I'll bet it rode almost as good as a '52 Nash Airflite. Just exactly what were you riding in the back seat anyway, Larry? Ron (softly sprung).

However, there are a bunch of them starting from Vaz 2101 (shown on the picture), 2102 was the vagon, 2103, resedisgned 2101. Then 2106, or just "shesterka" had different engine and was again redesigned, and had a name "Lada". I am not sure why they were called Lada, my Dad said that they were called like that for when they were built to sell abroad, but otherwise I always called it Zuguly. (a broad name for all starting from 2101 to 2121) nik

Nik, I thought we we only in the twenty first century. Did I sleep for 100 years ala Rip Van Winkle. If I did my SVXi are over 100 years old and qualify for antique status. Ron is really, really old, now.

Weren't the early Ladas the ones with the infamous key scandal? They exported a boatload of them to Poland and when they unloaded them the inspector found that every key fit every lock.
I understand they're great little cars.. let me look for a clip I have of a Lada running the quarter in 11 seconds... hang on I'll find it. Here's the newest Lada... check this baby out: I'm still looking for the race footage... Here's a quick one... Lada vs Mazda RX3... I think the Lada loses but not by much, and they are MOVING. http://www.maxituning.ch/images/download/rocky2.mpg Rightclick, save as... Last edited by Porter; 04-30-2003 at 06:58 AM. |
