Skoda Vs Lada Tour

The Skoda Tour of Luxembourg has begun. The skoda is the perfect car to tour Luxembourg, because it's so slow. It makes the country seem bigger.

That joke would have been so much funnier if Skodas still looked like this:




Of course the first Tour of Luxembourg was not done by Skodas, it was done by Ladas:




The tour began on June 14th 1984 and still hasn't finished yet. The Ladas set off from 'Avenue de la Gare' one bright summer's morning and are currently making their way to Grevenmacher, having covered a grand total of 21kms in just under 25 years.

It's the single most impressive speed related performance in the history of the Lada.
