There is a usually a meet up in Guildford by B&Q for a run down from there through Petworth etc. Usually leave there about 0730 I think but maybe later. If I go I will more than likely do that. Where abouts are you coming from?

A mate of mine had a Trabant. Now I am not sure if i dreamt this or it is true but the bodyworks does go soft in the rain.

I think the body is made from a slightly more sophisticated version of Papier Mache but you would still expect to be able to take it out in the rain otherwise it would have been a complete non-starter as a car for the masses.

Edit............
It gets better. Just did a Wikipedia. "The duroplast was made of recycled material, cotton waste from Russia and phenol resins from the East German dye industry making the Trabant the first car with a body made of recycled material"
Unfortunately the brownie points for the recycled body are a bit offset by the pollution from the smoky two stroke.

There is indeed a brace of 7:30am convoys. One leaves Guildford's Ladymead Retail Park and the other leaves the junction of the A24/A272 with a rendezvous in Midhurst at 8:15. Anybody is welcome to join in.

I might well turn up to the A24/A272 one of these; is that at the petrol station? Isn't there a
Maccy Ds there as well?
Will i get stoned for turning up in a Ricer?
