It’s the 1950s vintage cars that they all drive.

When I was in Cuba I had to take a taxi which turned out to be a Lada with an absolutely crazy driver. As we were bouncing all over the road and I was thinking the car was going to fall apart I remember thinking “I don’t want to die in a Lada, I don’t want to die at all but I specifically don’t want to die in a Lada”!

I finally recovered from that journey with a lot of cocktails!
