I was speaking with some Swiss (we were both a bit tipsy in case you ask yourself how that was possible) and told him how shitty is social life in Switzerland for foreigners (I said auslanders). | | | | | So you are making progress. Good, congrats.
Now if only you could keep from spurning the locals ...

After 25 years there can't have been all that much left of the original vehicle. They were quite popular when they were first introduced to Canada. Not bad little cars really, but they tended to be as biodegradable as the Fiats that they were copied from. They were even rustier than the Golf I, and that took some doing.

Ladas were built with the motto "If a car is going to rust it might as well start in the factory"
Lada was one of the first manufacturers to introduce keyless entry to a production car - you simply slipped your hand through one of the panel gaps | | The following 2 users would like to thank dodgyken for this useful post: | | |
