Well having tried out one of these in London, and used it several times.

It would appear that there is also a place in the Milton Keynes area.

I first found about the former when it was featured on 5th Gear.
So for those in the MK area the latter could prove to be a useful place.

That's useful to know about the MK one... Thanks for posting that
Sadly it's at the other end of the city to me; down in the automotive quarter...

Re: Self Service / Ramp Rental
It's a horrible drive down to there Davie I hate driving in Milton Keynes with a passion but then I hate driving anywhere these days..

A bit of filler will soon sort that car out and it will be back on the road before you know it
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

Re: Self Service / Ramp Rental
Want...
Still regret selling mine (N plate 1.5E), but it just needed more time than I had at the time. Very much on the lookout for an estate (as we could do with an estate given we have a big dog), as I've wanted one since I was about ten. Preferably in white or blue. Saloon best suits red.
Riva Estate is about the only segment of the Lada family I've not sampled yet as well. Had a Samara (not bad but a bit faceless), Niva 1.7i (fantastic motor, but I was commuting 70 odd miles a day to college and couldn't afford 26mpg so sold it in a fit of common sense that I really kick myself for to this day), and a Riva saloon with the usual rust issues - I have no idea how it had an MOT when I got it! I made it maybe 1/2 way through patching it up before I admitted defeat and sold it on.
