Hello from Wiltshire

Hello everyone. My name is Shaun and have been a member here for several years but not been very active recently, Finally getting the buzz back for photography so aiming to post more images here in the near future. I might even brave posting things on the forum as well!

Hi and welcome -

ladaman98, does the name suggest you had a Russian built machine back then?

Re: Hello from Wiltshire

Thanks for the welcomes. I currently live in Swindon so not that far away from Calne, yes I did have a Lada, well 6 in total, (i never learnt!) in the past, mainly the 4x4 Niva and a couple of Riva's.Now run a Jeep Cherokee.
My kit is a Canon EOS 450D with 18-55mm lens, Tamron 70-300 lens and my newest aquisition, canon 50mm macro prime lens. Still finding functions on the camera after owning it for nearly two years!

Re: Hello from Wiltshire

I saw an item about Lada going for broke with an ultra-modern model designed by a Brit coming soon. And don't they sponsor one of the F1 teams? Look what happened to Skoda!

Re: Hello from Wiltshire

Hi Ian. I have lost track about Lada nowadays. They have ceased production of the Riva saloon cars. There has been talk in the past of a collaboration with Chevrolet to produce a new Niva. I haven't watched a lot of F1 but I think I did see one of the cars with the Lada logo.If I remember it was with Renault
