As a Hungarian, we are way too familiar with the Trabant. They’ve been around long enough to know Victoria’s Secret and to have worn Ghandi’s flip flops, they’re cheap as shit and you can buy spare parts and pay by the kilo instead of paying for the part itself. Same as the Lada really. You supe up the engine a little or replace it with a cheap civic 1.3 or a 1.3 Lada engine and you got yourself the cheapest rally car. (Long standing tradition in Hungary to rally with shite boxes) Btw “I bought a Trabant” in Hungarian was pretty good! Keep it up Scotty lad!!!

[@christopher4162]

What exactly means cheap as sh? Where I am they’re starting to be expensive and rare : (

[@bubatzpirat396]

german models with working engine and no rust holes are 5-10k in germany

[@christopher4162]

@@bubatzpirat396 I know they are expensive af in Germany. Who pays over 5k for a Trabant that’s insanity. That’s why I’m asking how much they cost in Hungary ;-)

@@bubatzpirat396 for 1k euro it’s a no brainer. Maybe I’ll look into it but I don’t think I’ll have money or time this year because a I might need a practical commuter car and b I got a classic last year. I bought a 1972 fiat 128 familiare in Czech Republic for like 2700€

[@iro-huncarguy8367]

They can be reliable cars, very much so. Just needs the proper way of maintaining it. When it gets sorted, it's gonna be the donkey car that cannot be killed😂😂. You can buy brand new crate engines for these for not a lot, same with gearbox and "performance" stuff as well

[@viacheslavkushnirenko4198]

man, soviet cars are antonyms of reliability, they can be easily fixed though😅

[@iro-huncarguy8367]

@@viacheslavkushnirenko4198 they can be fairly reliable, mainly because its super simple. If you make sure you have the right oil:fuel ratio it will LAST. I've seen them fucking go through everything and they are just absolute units of trooper cars. They need to be taken care of the right way however, which is VERY minimal

I would kill to own a Trabant, however I'd definitely put a Harley engine in it so its highway ready.

The Trabant was produced in east Germany. It is not soviet or produced in the USSR...

[@scottyfairno]

East Germany was a satellite state of soviet Russia

[@reiner459]

[@MetalTrabant]

@@scottyfairno Satellite state doesn't mean it was formally part of the USSR, so technically anything GDR is not Soviet. Even if the comrades in Moscow pulled the strings in many cases...

[@Tobi-ln9xr]

@@scottyfairno Britain was a satellite state of the US. So Bentleys are American? And it’s double wrong since "Soviet Russia“ was a republic inside the Soviet Union. I can see why you are making videos about cars and not history…

Man that Lada you can tell from the Interior that is been to places and carried people from everywhere. Real Petrol Heads.

[@yearlong5179]

Lovin the new vlogs man, keep it up!!

[@MetalTrabant]

Wow, it could go a 120, that's insane! It doesn't really do any good for the engine though. I've tried maybe 110 once, and never since. With 90 at max., it'll live forever, anything over that you're just killing the engine. Even the manual says you should only use 100 km/h for about 15 minutes at once, then give it some break on slower speeds.

[@scottyfairno]

The speedometer is way off, 120 is roughly 95km/h

[@MetalTrabant]

@@scottyfairno I know it cheats around +10 normally, and 100 on the speedo is about 90 in reality. Believe me it doesn't like even that for a long run. Can take some beating, but if you plan with it for a longer time, about 80-90 on the speedo is comfortable for the engine. The slower you go, the more it'll live, and vica versa.

Literally laughed out loud at the Berlin bit

I don't know where you from but you can still buy Trabants in East Germany and the sellers are way more legit than these people. And there are alot of people that have massive warehouses full of old original spare parts. And they all speak english.

'way more legit than these people' why would you say these people wasn't legit? the Trabant was in a rough shape, anybody could see it from kilometers, there was no scam in here, the offroading with the Ladas was also a gratis as fun as the other comment said :D
