Car News: Lada Niva Is 45

An important date is upon us.

April 5, 2022 marks 45 years since the start of production of the VAZ-2121 Niva SUV, the first ever SUV in the world, which is now known as LADA NIVA Legend. 

Since then almost 2.5 million cars have been manufactured, of which 700,000 were exported to more than 100 countries.

And here are promo pictures of the Lada Niva from the yesteryear.

This is the current version, Lada Niva Legend, I believe.




Below are historic pics.

Note lamp wipers.

Music: Ksky @ RTS.FM Spb Studio - 28.10.2009: DJ Set

Another reasonably nice set by Ksky.



Pleasant repetitive sounds appear to soothe and dull the mind, sometimes encouraging pleasant day-dreaming sequences - something to be much enjoyed and cultivated: after all what is life but a waking dream?

And who's to say what is more real, the reality or dreams, both sleeping and waking? 

 All is in the mind anyway, is it not?

My Bags: Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase

Here is my current main bag which is this tan Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase.

It is brand new and not yet fully broken in but is already in heavy, like everyday, use.

It is more spacious than my briefcase but not too big to be inconvenient.
