Looks like the driver of this Trabant is getting it warmed up for a Smog check ... nice shoes ! 
Thanks for the post! |

That '67 Chris Amon car is my all time favorite f1. Maybe not the most successful, but it sure is beautiful.

I always liked the 60's V-12 F1 Ferraris, though you're right -- they didn't do too well.
This is the 69 edition at Monterey. They were warming it up at the time and I the sound from a distance of 3 feet was unbelievable. |

When I first saw that commercial on TV I was in absolute awe. I must have Tivo'd it back and forth a dozen times, driving my wife crazy. 
A real masterpiece. |

An Austrian co-worker told me after the wall came down. The Trabant factory was open for tours. People gawked at the primitive manufacturing technologies.
Damn rednecks are all over the world!

I've watched this at least 30 times over the last couple years. It is awesome and really drives the emotions.
