Its Ukrainian "OKA" ( Tavria ), a "successor" of ZAZ ( Zaporozets ). My brother use to have it and back in 90s it was coolest car in the village 🙂

Now why aren't the UK AA and RAC recovery men like that, Oh you need to change your tyre. lets see it will take about 3 hours.

I have always loved small cars, I once owned a Honda AN600. I could do the same thing with it, pick up the rear end and move it around (the front is the heavy part with the engine and trans). Easy to park and work on, very simple car. Once did a handbrake turn into a parking spot on the opposite side of the street with it. Perfect placement, as I got out congratulating myself on my great parking/driving I noticed I had rolled one of the little 155 SR10 Michelin tires off the rim! I love all the Lada and other little cars over here; from where I come from they are so rare as to be non-existent. My wife can not understand my fascination with the cars here since she has seen them all her life and they are nothing special for her.
