...and while it isn't mine. It is near Hongdom and begging to be the first Trabby at the Challenge

what's the blue car, not truck, beside it?

I have always wanted a Trabant.

Blue one looks like a Fiat 600.

Definately not a fiat 600. The little trunk stub makes me think Llloyd alexander but that aint it either

Q: Is the white car or the blue car for sale?
A: the white car sold the blue truck

Thanks for clearing that up!

I hope the white car got a good price for the blue truck.

I really like that mag but I only found it once. Where do you get it from?

Search YouTube for Trabant, there's some pretty wicked ones on there.

I thought the blue one was a 600 also but it may be a really early 850 sedan...

All 850 sedans look like mine. They never changed the body at all. It is not a fiat.

I really think it is a Lloyd LP400 or LP600. Look at that stubby trunk

"100% TOTALED" LOL

Damn, if that trabby were within a 6 hour tow I'd go and get it for Lemons. We did pretty well with one East German car, so why not an East German car that is an even worse starting point for a race car...

I get mine at my local Barnes and Nobles, they always come in with the new Brit mags, PVW, PBMW
