RobertKB Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 That is such a cool picture. It looks like it was taken 60 years ago. The weather, the trees, and the old road all make it very nostalgic. It is a perfect example of why I like these old girls original. They take you back to another time. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Well, thanks guys, its just the driveway to a friends house. He keeps seven little Trabis down there. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 By the title of your post, Niel, I was figuring to see you by the front door on a trip to Wally World. Thank goodness, you were talking about the car. Quote
Robert Horne Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 The car, not me. That is a great photo. Wonder what it would look like in black & white... Quote

Captain Neon Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Well, thanks guys, its just the driveway to a friends house. He keeps seven little Trabis down there. I don't even know if one can register a Trabi here in the States, but I've always thought it might be fun to have one for a while and then sell it after the novelty wore off. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 No problem registering them, just have to be 25 years or more old. November 6 and 7 there will be 20 of them in DC for a celebration of the Twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Eric, the owner of seven of them has also sold two of them to the National Spy Museum in DC. Its common for people to import them, figure out that they really don't want to put up with them and then dump them. You can get them in Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic and other ex-soviet union countries for next to nothing and then spend $700 to $1200 to ship it here. The white one here is going to DC for the celebration, two more, including a kombi, are sitting in front of the garage which holds four more. Quote
