Video of the day | Trabi nostalgia

Buying a second hand Trabi is not all that difficult. There are still plenty around. With a chassis made out of re-inforced cardboard, at least they don't rust like their metal counterparts. But don't think of getting one if you're tall - you'll be in for a real squeeze. For those who want to test drive one - you can join a Trabi safari through Berlin. The wait won't be as long as it was for those who wanted to actually buy a Trabant in the former communist East. The waiting period back then was up to 20 years.
