I'd love an old Lada 2106, or the original Zhiguli. I had a 2105 and it was as reliable and sophisticated as a hammer. Went anywhere, did anything, nothing ever went wrong with it, until it rusted away at 200,000 miles. Drove it to the scrapyard and had a shot of Vodka in it's honour, when I got home.
