Baxter's Niva Story continues...
Finally updated "Baxter's Niva Story" on my site - there's a couple of off-road trips, a Niva stand at a car show, Lada Niva New Zealand's first meet & camp, a long holiday, a couple of cruises, and a gearbox failure... Full diary at: http://www.ladaniva.co.uk/baxter/baxtersniva.htm ht...

Re: Maungatapu Track closed ????
It's open to inderviduals - took the Lada through a few months ago - you need to give the NCC a refundable $100 bond for the key

Re: 4x4 Trial - in my daily Niva :lol:
Cheers all. Yep, I'm a big fan of keeping motorsport accessible with a daily driver option - I also compete in hillclimbs etc with daily drivers, often as unsuitable as the Niva was ( though my CRX was competitive for a standard car back in the day ). We had some random carby related power issues on...

4x4 Trial - in my daily Niva :lol:
After my first crack at a 4x4 Trial - nothing broken (except possibly my hand). And only nearly rolled it once - and we scored heaps of points ;) Avoided the rougher 2 or 3 hazards where there was a good chance of rolling, and was quickly nailed by a combination of my lack of practice, my tiny 27&qu...

Re: 13th & 14th December
Finally pulled finger and got a WOF. Now to fit the Detroit Locker and the 4.3s for some summer fun... Look out for me when I inevitably get suck ( because I've broken a delicate Lada axle or more likely because I haven't 4x4ed for several years ) around Chch over xmas and don't know any locals to g...

Re: Low-ratio & LSD - wanna play?
Nah the Niva's totally stock other than a 2" lift (and hopefully the Detroit and low ratios y summer), but with decent tyres it can sometime embarrass much more $$$ machinery. But then with my crappy driving these days I'm quite capable of embarrassing the Niva :lol: Will flick you a PM if nels...

Too long - I don't think I've even been a passenger in a 4x4 since. And like my Niva, I've literally died and been reanimated in the meantime
