    ✍What happened to the Trabant factory?
    The Zwickau factory in Mosel (where the Trabant was manufactured) was sold to Volkswagen AG; the rest of the company became HQM Sachsenring GmbH. Volkswagen redeveloped the Zwickau factory into a centre for engine production; it also produces some Volkswagen Golfs and Passats.
    ✍How much did a Trabant cost new?
    That is when the last one rolled off the assembly line in Zwickau, Germany. Trabants cost about $8,600 new and were coveted for decades by East Germans. The demand evaporated last fall after Germany's unification. East German motorists suddenly could buy any car they wanted.
    ✍Do people still drive Trabants?
    While Germans are known for their love of luxurious cars, in the eyes of many, the Trabi remains a cult car. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, around 34,500 Trabants were registered in Germany at the beginning of 2019.

    My father worked on some Belarus tractors which were sent to nz when the USSR couldn't pay their wool bill. The farmers loved those tractors. As dad put it - there was nothing you couldn't fix with a sledge hammer or a welding torch - ideal for farmers. Dad also got a verbatim transcript of the manual which was hilarious with messages like " comrades are reminded that the water holder is not to be used for holding vodka. And citizens are reminded that adjusting the radio to listen to Western radio stations is forbidden.

Half the weight of a normal car, he drove it in mud and slush, it was undemanding and indestructible. It could be repaired for pennies... Back then.

    This car inspired the movie "Driving Me Crazy" with Billy Dee Williams and Thomas Gottschalk. The movie is also known as Trabbi Goes to Hollywood. It's worth a watch.
