A Gaz 69 in Akureryi in Iceland

Complete with a copy of its sales invoice in the window.

It must be a regular fixture by the side of the road because it shows up on Google Streetview.

That is beyond a doubt the coolest vehicle I’ve laid eyes on in weeks.

Do you live in Iceland? What does Cé hé sin mean?

Nope, hols in 2012.

“Who’s he?” in Irish.

Weird coincidence! I just drove behind one today. It was so slow, there was a queue of cars behind it.

From the old DDR?

I guess so. Rügen was part of the former GDR.

Any Trabis or Wartbiurgs left?

I was in eastern Germany in 2005 and you could still occasionally find Trabi Mischlung on sale.

I see a few of them from time to time. They now have gone full circle from “worth more than my first born” before the wall came down, to “you can have it for a case of beer” a day after the wall came down, to “I’ll give you a case of beer if you take it” sometime later, to appreciated classics. The funny thing is that it’s not the former owners who are restoring them, but their children who have rose tinted memories of sitting inthe back of dad’s Trabi/Wartburg/Skoda/whatever.
