Introducing the Trabi, one of
the coolest cars on the planet. I grew to love the
Trabi while serving a mission for

Eastern Europe back in the early 90s. This cache is dedicated
to its memory. I hope you enjoy learning a little bit about
it as well! Once you have found this cache you can also log

Trabi Go' (TB18FTJ)
geocoin which is part of my personal collection and
"virtually" resides at this cache. And don't forget to check out
the Photo Gallery associated with this
cache. It is full of lots of great Trabi pictures and
history!
