Was wavering on selling my Lada with the impending garage project, the wife surprised me by telling me to keep it.
However after a week on being forced to use it for work due to Northumberland being covered in snow, and getting the wife to work in a blizzard...
My little Russian tractor has secured its place in my growing list of cars.
Everyone should have one.
that is a hopeless sledge ^
anyway from what I've heard the Lada jeeps were quite good offroaders. Keep it, one day it will be a classic.

Stranded again...
Snow
The Mazdy and Patty - not moved for today! KC warm in his carpetted garage!
I have the use of a Discovery at work, not a huge fan of it to be honest.
A friend of mine does pipeline stuff in Georgia, and he had 6 Discoverys which they struggled to keep servicable, they gave up in the end and bought
Nivas.
Anyone spot my 4x4 Jago??

So am I....
It is about perspective...
ie hovering close enough to a really high object you could probably jump onto, however if you miss you become a blancmange.
Myself and the wife did some snorkeling in the Red sea a few years ago, her indoors was freaked out lying/floating on her front with 5' of water
over the reef with a 150' vertical drop down the reef face to the sea floor, very odd.
I could do a freefall, but never a bunjee .
Its a brain chemical thing

Interesting tower....
Did you know the Kerrs (Reivers) used to build there tower stairwells with a anti clockwise twist, as a lot of them were left (Kerr Handed) handed.
Pretty hard fighting upostairs with a sword in your right hand when your fighting arm is against the wall...
Useless trivia prompted by seeing the steps up the tower.
And relax
