Trabby & Actifit

avatar

I haven't seen a Trabby car on the road for a good while know. I know there's a good number of people who still own this car, but most probably they are spread around the country, so seeing one in a small town like mine it was an event!

It looks small; is it a 2 seater or does it hold a couple of passengers as well?

Good job with your 7957 @actifit steps for the day! Take care!

Very cute little car I have never heard of a Trabby ...... Are these still manufactured?
I remember watching a documentary where they had two cycle cars that look very similar to this....

Well, the actual name is Trabant, Trabby is just a diminutive name. This was the official "car" of East Germany in communist/soviet times, it was manufactured up until 1991 when the Berlin wall came down. It was really noisy(I think the engine has only 2 pistons) and also it was polluting a lot because there was no separated oil tank/system for the lubrication of the engine, so you had to take your gas and mix it with oil, imagine the smoke coming out when that mixture was burned.

@elizabethbit it takes passengers as well, I can even remember when I was younger being in the back seat and we were 5 people in the car, a bit too crowded! 😁:))

Yes this is the car we watched on a travel documentary in Ukrainian or possibly Russia. The taxi driver drove one of these cars, and you could see the smoke coming out the exhaust because it burned oil in the gasoline. The taxi driver loved this car, they filmed the reporters being driven all over town!!!😊

and their coupe is made out of carton :)
we were joking in the past to be careful not to hit any trabby on the way while walking!
well it's not really carton but made out of ground wood pannels :D
they've had a lot of these cars here in Bulgaria too...
i see some of them quite rarely nowadays :P

side story:

one of our weirdo teachers in the high school, used to be coming with a pink trabby and a helmet to work :D :D
he was educating us in PROTECTING HUMAN & NATURE subject.
And we were learning in a professional electrical & electronic high~school. Well that teacher of ours was teaching students about electrical installations beforehand, but unfortunately when he was asked to build a watering system for a lot of cows in a farm somewhere...
& the system was mistaken somehow and made a short circuit :-O
killing many or all of the cows drinking...
HM, this might be a legend or even rumors, but everybody was making fun of him (especially after changing his teaching subject)

I hope this scatterbrained tales could be useful for anybody else's wisdom puzzle :D

Wow...Lol..... Years ago when we had horses, I always worried about the stock tank heater that the previous owner left when they sold the property. It was just hot wires surrounded in foam, we quickly replaced us with a new heater!!😳
