Don't know of any Hemi-Trabbies, but here's something else.

[MG]

That's something else, alright!

Man, that Citroen is all kinds of awesome! Whoever built that car can be comfortable in the knowledge that they have something truly one-of-a-kind. Not many ZCitroen fans are into Chevy V8s, and not many Chevy guys want to work with a French car.

...and, you're right up front so, in the immortal Indian Larry's words, "you avoid the prolonged, painful, and costly rehabilitation process right from the start."

What really gets me is that this car actually RUNS!!!  Somebody was actually brave enough to drive it!  As an avid Hot Wheels collector, I have the original die-cast.  I remember thinking, "Only the gang at Hot Wheels would be crazy enough to come up with a concept like this."  I was wrong!

Where's he buried?

[Boxer2500]

I'd like to see Urkel take a crack at driving that Isetta.

[Rich]

I'd rather see Yao Ming....

[Tifosi]

I'd settle for Lucy Liu...

Time to get a 1000hp twin-turbo'd torque demon in a Sprite.

Or a hemi in a Trabant...speaking of which...there's a neat article in the March issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car about a Trabi being restored.  The guy used spray-in bedliner material for undercoating.  Sounds wierd, but it's a million times better than what came from the factory.


Dan

A lot of the Lotus Seven clone guys use bed liner under the fenders and for the floors.

Pretty good idea, really.

[Tifosi]

Guess so...I just thought it odd that a restorer would use such a material; but then, the original Trabant probably wasn't undercoated, anyway.

Dan

[Ultra]

I wonder how much weight it adds.

[Tifosi]

I dunno...how much do those do-it-yourself containers weigh?

It would also depend on how thick it was sprayed on, or would have to be in order tom be effective.


Dan

[Ultra]

Weigh it, spray it, weigh it.

Only way to be sure.

[Rich]

Man, you gotta love your Trabant, that's all I know.....

[Ultra]

Love the one your with.

[Rich]

Almost, cut my hair....

Almost, cut my hair....

Is it long? 

I cut mine last week.

Not too familiar with the works of CSN&Y, are we Charlie?

Miss one reference and the kids start getting cute.

Well, it WAS the East German Model T...

Its plastic bodied so probably there so the stones tossed up from the tires don't bash up the undercarriage.

Must be 'cause I had the flu for Christmas and I'm not feelin' up to par.
It increase my paranoia, like lookin' in the mirror and seein' a PO lice car.....
