Trabi nostalgia!

Postby GordonS » Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:12 am

Here's a nice review of the Trabant -- or what's now left of them.…

Be sure to check out the Trabi jokes at the end of the article. But, Cool Product?? Stephen, I'm telling you we need a specific category on this forum for Humor.

My introduction to the Trabi came in Nov. 1990, when because of a strike by the eastern rail workers I had to take a bus into Berlin. We were traveling at night, and when I stepped off the bus at a rest stop there was a burned-out Trabi in the parking lot. No one thought it a bit odd!

You beat me to it, Hansi. Love the Trabi jokes, Gordon. I'll just add the sign with the thumbnail history of the car.
