Lada Lover

Meet Boris.

For the Jeremy Clarksons among you: a Lada Vaz 2101, 1200s, built in 1985. For the laymen: an old soviet car in mint condition.

My brother bought this car earlier this year, and he absolutely loves it. And he’s not the only one. Everywhere you go, there’s always someone who wants to have a chat about it, or who has a loving memory about it. A real ice breaker.

My brother considers this car a bit as his child. Or his twin brother, since he was built in 1985 as well. The way he looks at it, or talks about her, I’d call it real love. And you should tell everyone in the world about your real love.

So I went to Hema and bought 2 grey t-shirts and some transfer paper. I asked hubby nicely whether he had an idea about what we could do with the Lada logo. Luckily he understood and got going immediately. And one p(r)int and hot iron later, we ended up with this:

A big logo and a small one, so my brother can still decide how big his Lada love is.

Both t-shirts ended up under the Christmas tree. And somewhat later on facebook, in the post “Best Christmas present ever”. Mission accomplished, I’d daresay.

I still have one logo left, its size in between the other 2. Maybe I should iron it on a pair of boxers…
