You have no idea....
:crazyeyes:

(course I fit right in around here don't I) :whistle:

I have actually considered racing the Vauxhall. At this point it is both too rare and in too good a shape. At the same time it is highly unlikely that racing will ever be anything but a dream. I do have a think for Eastern Bloc cars and bikes though. Sheesh. :wall:

Vauxhall is far from eastern block, what you really want is a FSO Polonez or the Lada Niva, which by the way is a wonderful 4x4, but to bring the obscure back home, try a Korando.

Interesting cars - I had seen the FSO Polonez before but not the Korando. They brought Niva's into Canada - and a friend has one. There are always some for sale but I dare not look! :jester:

In terms of distance from Vauxhall, there are some who would say that the British Car Industry in the 70's was not far from Eastern Bloc. :devilgrin:

thanks for showing me a car I've never seen.
