The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

I guess it is a nice shade of red.

Also applicable to the Yugo. You know someone is really poor in Europe, when they are driving a communist era made car.

And the Trabant - although there's nice work now in those as novelty transport in Berlin: Trabi-Safari

 

[Pushka]

They do it nice here:


All covered up waiting.

It dates back to the communist era: Skoda Jokes

Their grammar leaves a lot to be desired

I remember the first time I went into East Berlin in 1970 and smelling and seeing this noisy smoke belching car chugging around the streets. Quite amazing

And here they are in action at the corner of Wilhelmstrasse and Unter den Linden (taken from the Adlon).

Been to the original Trabant factory in Zwickau as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Horch_Museum_Zwickau

Trabants are a real cult car now.

 

[Cossie]

A few more, one outside the original factory in Zwickau.



An original inside the factory complete with a special number plate.

Loved the movies 'Go Trabi, Go!' And 'Go Trabi, Go! 2'. Always wanted a cardboard car.

[Flashback]

what did you book?

24 hours later I'm still waiting for my CPH-DEL tickets to 'ticket'..... oddly my DEL-LHR ticketed pretty much straight away! Rang this morning and was told it may take 2-3 days and not to worry. Hoping they don't auto cancel!

Quite scary to see where all my time has been wasted. :-|
