My Trabbi was the most reiable car I ever drove. It never broke down, Not even a flat tire on the original East German tires.
I would still have it but when the speed limit was raised to 65mph everyone on the Freeway was driving 80 mph.
The 600cc two stroke twin was only good for about 70 mph cruising speed.
Sold it to a Crazy Romainian.
I was driving it on Sunset Blvd when a guy in a red Ferrari 250 GT California LWB pulled and gave me the thumbs up with a big smile.
LOL! I think this post has more “Hollywood script writing” than reality but it is funny. Trabbies were made out of paper.

Go to 7:42 in the video and James May said the Trabbi was made with - cotton.
The trabbi he has there is quite a nice one...if that is possible.
How did you deal with mixing gas and oil? It’s my understanding that at least some years ago, you could find pre-mixed gas and oil at the pump in at least some European countries.
Did you just carry several cans of oil with you?
