Trabant Turbo





Trabants are a dying breed here. Originally from East Germany the Trabant was their answer to Romania's Dacia. Fifteen years ago 99% of all cars on Romania's roads were like this. Nowadays they are getting bumped out of the way by arrogant idiots in 4x4s. I walked past this customised trabant yesterday and had to stop and take some photos. The owner, a pretty 20 something girl, came out to speak to me, obviously proud that someone was taking an interest in her pimped vehicle. "Wow", i said, "front spoiler, rear spoiler, go faster stripes, bucket seats, racing car steering wheel- this thing must go pretty fast?" "60km per hour" she replied "downhill, with a tail wind" she added.
