Hi,
I've been signed up for a while but hadn't got a car or a licence, sorta vital I thought, so I've been keeping out the way until I can join in.
I've got a driving test in two weeks and I've got a car now (by some definition) so I thought I'd say hello.

My car is a 1995 Lada Riva 1452cc. Car Specifications - Lada Riva Estate
As you can see it's pretty ancient and aerodynamically horrendous, so I'll be hypermiling to get up to an average fuel consumption. I'll just be doing all the simple mods to it though, because I lack the DIY skills for the complicated stuff.

Oh, and it's beige :-)
