Nice

The Trabant won a few eastern european rallies looking like that, usually those on roads which were so bad only a Trabant could survive them

You have to be a midget to sit comfortably in a Trabant. At least it's so uncomfortable, you can't fall asleep at the wheel.

sexy car.

love that colour.

I prefer them in bile-green TBH

Still, it's better than baby-blue or vomit-yellow - the other VEB Sachsenring factory colours ...
