Wot, Lada substitute for Alfa?

["Matjaz Kos" <matjaz.kos@domain.elided>]

Volvo engine in Alfa #$&!?

If you need Lada Niva, buy one, if you need rigid coffin buy Volvo, but leave
Alfa as original as you can!

Or maybe whay not make it 6x6 coverible limo runing on Hummer gear to make it
rely comfortable and suitable for winters.

Maybe tracks would also fit with some mods...
