>>979935OP here and this last sentence is the feel tht im getting. Niva seems far comfier than the little suzukis. Gas is gonna be okay I am not broke and getting a car only for /out/ purposes.
>>979862if I convince myself tht the defender i the better investment for these purposes I will be able to get it. Have been drooling over the defender and the mercedes g for a while. Drifting away from it now because I don't think I will be able to use them to their full potential. I can´t just set off for a crazy long trip to the himalayas (why live...).
going to use the niva for inawoods here in spain
Lots of unpaved surfaces and tricky trails (good out country and portugal is close for more /out/ purposes)
Planning to get one of the older ones which have little kms on them. (50k) I like the "leather" interior and that thin soviet steering wheel.
I doubt I will go further than portugal/france/morocco on this car. Will maybe lift it a little. Give it nice all terrain tyres for sure.
If i save on the adventure mobile I will have tons of money to put into gear. What are some lada setup essentials for weekend adventures?
