Trabant..

Hey people...

What do you think of the idea just for fun of sticking an M44 Engine into a Trabant ?

They are cheap enough...

Interesting idea. Swiftly followed by a brake upgrade and perhaps a bible in the glove box. There are some whacky mods out there though such as the monster Metro 6R4, now that's mental!

My friend and I built a 66 chev van that ran just under 150 mph in the quarter mile drags. Pulled 6" wheelies on launch. No add ons just on motor alone. Fun and games!! JIM

Yep, that is at Zandvoort Paul.

@hard top Did you not mention one of your guys had a gas powered truck.. or was that all P**s and Wind power...

 

[hard top]

Loads of LPG powered stuff over here, cheap as chips.

Never seen one do a 6" wheelie though.

I would have thought that the idea was to keep the wheels on the ground to keep the power down..

 

[hard top]

One would have thought so Paul.

I love listening to the Dutch speak it's like music to my ears!! JIM
