Go 'Trabi' Go

Please bring me back to Dresden (GERMANY).

This car called 'TRABI'  takes part in a race arround the world. It's mission is to travel to all continents and then come back to Dresden (Germany). During the trip the TRABI seeks to visit as many countries, capital cities and caches as possible.

If possible please take a photo of the car in front of interesting places.

The Trabant ('TRABI') is a car that was produced by the former East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in Zwickau, Saxony. It was the most common vehicle in East Germany, and was also exported to countries both inside and outside the eastern bloc. It was advertised as having room for four adults and luggage in a compact and durable shell; and being relatively fast.

Despite its poor performance, outdated and inefficient two-stroke engine (which produced poor fuel economy and smoky exhaust), and production shortages, the Trabant was regarded with derisive affection as a symbol of the extinct former East Germany and of the fall of the Eastern bloc. This is due to the fact that in former West Germany, many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It was produced for nearly 30 years with almost no significant changes; 3,096,099 Trabants were produced in total.In Western nations, the Trabant's shortcomings are written about to great extent for comedic effect. However, the Trabant, in some cases, has become trendy for collectors to import older models to the US due to their low cost and easier import restrictions on antique vehicles.
