This is how they do things in da Demokratik Republiks, comrade! This looks like a well worn GAZ 23  But what's with the vents at the back? £2000 price hike for rat look?  Let's have a look at the motor....  Eh? And what's this badge?  Ooooh, some sneaky commie deception going on here!  It's a Tatra 805 truck engine. 2.5 litre aircooled V8, but with a single carb.  I'm in yur volga, steelin yur motoz  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

I always love those but the fact that the V8 in that form puts out about 90BHP at best puts me off ;D

Probably so it can run on anything from petrol to vodka-pickled-chickenshit fuel  Anyway, not knowing Eastern block stuff, I thought Tatra's often had big air-cooled engines in the back? |

'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention
'02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think
'03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic)
'09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.

It probably isnt standard anymore. Besides, it could all be in the torque. It`ll sound mint in any case.

I always love those but the fact that the V8 in that form puts out about 90BHP at best puts me off ;D I think the single carb ones are about 85bhp, but it's probably still a 20% improvement  I think it's more to do with the situation: Have Volga with blown engine. Have crashed or rusty Tatra with good engine. Add a night of drinking and this is probably the obvious answer ;D Perhaps sir prefers more conventional car modifications (don't look if you're of a nervous or aesthetic disposition) You have been warned Just because it's blue with gold wheels, doesn't make it an Impreza!  ooooh, and the back is just as bad  |

phew, enough of the Lada, what do you think of this Beemer? Nice eh?  Proportions look a bit odd now you come to mention it   Oh, you fell for the old Beemer - Dacia gag! Oldest one in the book  And this makes a refreshing change from the Micras looking like a Mk2 Jag  See? It's a Jaglada. Errr, Jagda. Lajag?  |

Cor, there's some nasty stuff 'ere!
I quite like the sound of a V8 with 90bhp - literally! All the noise and you actually can rag it in all the gears without upsetting Monsieur Plod (or speed cameras more like). Bet it still drinks like any other V8 though!

Besides, it could all be in the torque. True. Here's the new crank for my car being ground, reckon it'll be pretty torquey after I fit this  |
