Hi Matt, I have been a proud owner of an original purchased Trabant 601 since moving from California USA to the Former Eastern Germany in 1993. At that time my first tought was to convert it to Electric, but since I was fresh out of school and did not have any money, I have left it for a rainy day. Well now is the rainy day, and I noticed your interest so I joined and would like to post the Trabant on this site. It looks like you are also the Administrator of this site so I would like to ask if you could include please include the "VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau" to the list of manufactures? I have just listed in the "Garage", my E-Trabi and would like to up-date. Since VW has taken over the VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau after the wall came down, perhaps VW is the closest currently available, but it really is not a VW, and most VW drivers will probably complain about the assosiation. Any way its nice to be part of this community and I look forward in sharing my experiences with others. Cheers, Johnny
