They're awesome. My mates dad has a 2 stroke one. I will have it one day. They're FWD hence the polo lump.

TBh i'd prefer it LHD, makes it even more oddball! Haha.

im glad hes doing the g60 conversion, it does look a bit under powered !

also not the best handling by looks of the video.

Probably handles as well as a Polo.  I'm not sure there's much Trabant left!!

lol, the polo berg cup looks like its on rails but id guarantee its on a salzmann subframe conversion.

but i must admit the trabant has a cool wee theme going, still prefer the G40 tho ;)
