AN OVENRIP :lol:
I remember my father going through a phase of buying cars at auction, doing them up and reselling them. When he came home from the auction with his latest acquisition we’d all come out and look and comment on the heap that he’d brought home this time.
One day, not long after I’d started to learn to drive, he came back with a gleaming car, midnight blue, cream interior, obviously well cared for. I commented that it didn’t look like it needed any work done and he grinned and said “no, I bought this one for you, it was the best looking car there”…yes, it was a Lada, and no I never drove it. I don’t remember saying anything but at 17 years old I think my face probably said it all, his grin disappeared and not another word was said and within a few days the car was gone, resold.
Funny, I’d forgotten that until I read your post…it was his birthday on Monday too…RIP Dad and sorry I didn’t share your joy of the Lada! xxxx
(the things we do to our parents when we’re young…I feel bad now…)

Would I drive a Midnight Blue Lada with cream interior? Heck yeah! It sounds wonderfully retro, of course I’m not 17, but even then I’m sure I was contrary enough to do it if I had the chance.
Excuse me a sentimental hijack. I’ve never owned a LADA, but I’ve heard the same jokes about Skodas and I do own an old Skoda which has taken me up and down and across the country, including what I like to call the Black Bess run, London to York, (named after Dick Turpin’s horse I hastily add).
It’s the first car I ever owned; I’ve paid for a few cars, but passed my test late in life, Like most first cars it is well loved despite the lumps and bumps I’ve added he’s been like a partner in crime and I even named him. But I’ve been told the rust bug means he won’t pass another MOT and I’m mourning him already.
Eastern Europeans and people who work with motors tend to praise the car. Friends who drive less flash motors but are used to seeing me in a suit tell me it’s time I got something more prestigious (not difficult . . . )
In his honour, I’d like to add a few Skolada jokes (Skoda + LADA, geddit?):
How do you double the price of a Skolada?
Fill up the tankHave you got a wing mirror for a Skolada?
Okay, seems like a fair swapWhat do you call a Skolada driver who say’s he has a speeding ticket ?
A DreamerHow do you double the value of a Skolada?
Chuck a penny in it (mine was given to me by a friend who couldn’t sell it, so more than true)I’ve just bought the new 16 valve Skolada …….4 in the engine, 12 in the radio! (If you understand this and your under 40 then you need to get out more
What is the difference between being inside Katy Price’s bra and being caught inside a Skolada?
You feel a bigger t1t in a Skolada ! (as to getting to second base in it: a gentleman never tells, and a bounder never denies, but we’re both open to offers – twirls moustache).Why is a Skolada and a baby similar?
They both never go anywhere without a rattle (True!)What is the difference between a school and a Skolada?
Schools breaks up and a Skolada breaks down (not yet!)How do you make a Skolada more sporty?
Wear adidas trainers while driving it (Although I think I was wearing loafers when mine did “the legal limit + 10%”)Lada is a girls name in Ukraine meaning dear one or beloved. Awww!
