Trabant 601, it was made in 1979 and I bought it in 2001. Two stroke, two cylinders, air cooling.

TRABANT, the East German "Trash Bucket on Wheels".

No no no trash Bucket - its the east german wonder on the highway and an eastalgic thing nowadays. The cool thing is, that you could repair the car with evrything
There has never been a car like that - and they are driving still in these days

Worth a mint now

Its long gone, It was three years old when we bought it with 30K miles on it, we had it a few years but the rust set in around the head lights and at the bottom of the doors. Cars back then just did not last.

2001 Opel Corsa. Made me swear to never buy an Opel again lol. Didn't even had that many kilometers on it when I bought it, but still spent almost as much time in the workshop as on the street.

My 1st car was a fiat 128.it was very poorly made car. one day I noticed a rust bubble just below the windscreen. went to scrape it off with a screwdriver and went straight through the panel. left a hole in it. then the steering wheel had a split in it, and it cracked up completely, had to have a new wheel. then the heater controls broke and I had no heater. in the end I had to get rid of it.

Yeah, pretty much the same car lol. Zero power, leaked and burned oil, had to fight to put in 2nd gear almost every time... But hey, it brought me to work and back home for the three years my apprenticeship lasted.

Ford Fiesta 1.6D, 1986, Diesel. It was killed by the exhaust of a Mercedes at 18 years old.

That small car is now considered as "Oldtimer" in Germany and is very rare.

The car only used about 5 Liter / 100km and still could go 160km/h on the Autobahn (with some tailwind, and downwards).
