Well, but I'd still have to explain to the german authorities why a hungarian Trabant should be allowed to use german roads. ;P

Maybe those that are missing their Trabies should come over here and relieve the guy that has 80+ of them littering a rather scenic village in the peak district of a few of them.
He's has ignored several court orders to remove them ....... so maybe advertising them in ex Eastern Block countries would help the authorities out.

Sometime next year they'll be illegal here as well. One of my fellow ex-pats here brought one and uses it as a greenhouse at his vineyard Grin

But:
a) it's from Hungary -> safety!
b) it's a Trabant -> ecological concerns!

Other than that, I totally agree on the "beautiful" part. Grin
