Perfectly adequate for a bit of fun there. You wouldnt be the slowest by any margin. Passed a Trabant once coming onto Dottinger, I thought it was on fire but just smoky exhaust from sh!ty engine. Glad I didn't come accross it halfway down with a closing speed of 70mph+ ! :roll:

The former E. German car? I was looking those up not too long ago here in the States. Saw a few on fleabay for about $10,000! As I tend to say when I am in disbelief: "dude..."

That's the one!
Can't see the appeal personally, apart from communist era misery nostalgia perhaps.
Nasty nasty little snotboxes, made from paper with a 2-stroke sewing maxhine engine and a distinct lack of emphasis put on emissions control design.
I didnt get to see who was driving it but i'm sure he/she had a self-satisfied, smug, nee victorious grin on his/her face. Bloody dangerous and should have been yellow flags waving. :|

Ahhh jonge, it had to come didnt it?
I can just visualise seeing the whites of your eyes get bigger and your mouth start to salivate at the opportunity that's just presented itself to you....eh?
Well done.
 
I drove past Utrecht last week, and knowing that you frequent the area I was worried about hitting bolts that had fallen off on the motorway .... :lol:

You're only 2 minutes from me Mark, if you ever need anything doing just drop me a message.

I do most of the work myself on my cars, coilivers, brakes, exhaust, drop links, bushes, bearings, top mounts etc etc I'm a master of taking the internal trim pieces off if you ever fancy wrapping them lol

Always happy to help.
