Hi, I am presently in a small town outside Budapest in Hungary (on my way back to SC from Australia). I can tell you that the "Trabbies" are still very much alive and well !!! They are very common here although there a very wide spread of small vehicles of all types. I have even seen a few Vanagons. I reckon you could pick the Trabbies up by the dozen, pretty cheap. Trabants and Wartburgs are the left overs from the days before the wall came down. There are many other reminders of those days here too. The western world has made some inroads but in comparison to Eastern Germany this place is decades behind. Road manners are pretty wild here, especially when overtaking is done. Cheers, Steve Cotsford
