Iv'e seen a car driving around quite alot and i think it's awsome.
Problem is I have no idea what it is?
It's a pale mint green with a cream roof.
It has a female driver and i think she owns the shop 'The Pad' on London Road.
(It's that retro style shop near all the antique shops down there).
Can anybody enlighten me?

hiya its a trabant , east german car , see her alot in it , very nice condition isnt it theres afew about but that one is mint

It really is amazing! So glad you knew this. Me and my boyfriend have been going crazy trying to figure it out! Thankyou!

Hi again.
Iv'e just searched google for the car that you named and it's not the one I was thinking of. The one I was thinking of is a Nissan Figaro...

Apparently my boyfriend found out what it was and has only just informed me! Pffft!

Ha Ha Ha!!! the trabant (http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=trabant&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=r_MnTLTYOoTu0wSHi6i1BA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCIQsAQwAA) is an 'orrible stinky, smokey little two stroke affair that was made of paper mache in East Germany :gag::gag:

Naw, that's not really fair- it's a womans car in reality;)


Biggsy:)

Not cheap either

I was only messing about as someone described the ladies car as a trabant (the worst car in the known universe!)
My wife had a Nissan micra years ago, i borrowed it as my VW had been hit in the rear and was scrapped:mad:
i was going to take my mum to her caravan at Skeggy, as i was driving down t'cliffe, i hit a hole in the road which was so deep it knocked the rear suspension leg clean through the turret:rant:, i drove the rest of the way to her house in a definite list..

strangely, i don't think it would have bothered a Panzer:roll:


John:)

the figaros are also turbo'ed arent they?

cute little cars really and hold their value well if looked after.

<rant>
strangely, i don't think it would have bothered a PanzerBuilt 'like', not 'as' ;) :P :D

I've only had Jap cars for well over a decade... but I wouldn't have one ;)

Its a micra in a dress. And its not "like all micras", its built for the japanese market and as such the corrosion resistance leaves a lot to be desired in a british climate.

Id rather have a trabant, personally
