Joke 1: What's the difference between a Lada and a golf ball? Answer: you can drive a golf ball 200 metres...

And so it goes on and on lol.

Actually, Lada's were pretty good cars, I thought. My mate had one in sixth-form, and I thought it was pretty cool. But I never liked the look of Skodas :)

Lada in first form is completely Italian model but not "Skoda". The quite russian model is Lada "Kalina" (which I have for two years).

Yeah, Scodas were from Czechoslovakia.

The plant and technology for producing these autocars (Lada) was bought by USSR Government from Italy and if I am not wrong, a prototype for soviet car was seems, italian Fiat 124. First cars were produced in 1970. This first model was named "Zhiguli". ( "Zhiguli" is the beautiful place on the Volga area against the town "Tolyatti", former Stavropol. There was funny story with the name "Zhiguli" which is harmony with italian "zhigallo" - lover who is supported by woman.) Next model were renamed into "Lada" to go away from "Zhiguli". This car plant has diminished the shortage of car for soviet people. But because of bad economy of the USSR there were little technology progress in producing cars this car has become obsolete in moral and in technology long ago. Though assembly line was stoped only the other day because masses of poorly-paid workers and peasants in capitalist Russia had the only possibility to buy this cheap car.

"Lada Kalina" I've bought two years ago as cheap car for workers is more modern model but it is a bit behind the times too.

It's funny because it's true. Especially the parts about the hills. That's why you had to plan your journeys so that most of them went down hill. This is the reason why most Ladas are now at the bottom of the ocean.
