Looks like most of the space is taken up by the expansion chamber.

And Trabant is the worst German car company ever conceived.

Another good video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6220796499007505990&q=trabant). This one shows off the car's sound and controls. As Borat would say, "Very niiiiiice!"

saab started off in the US (the world i presume) with 2 smokes. you see them around from time to time.... broken down waiting to be crushed. they are truly funny looking cars, making contemporary citroen and renault offerings look fashionable

i want a trabant, cuz by now it's probably smog exempt and would make a good receptor for a GSXR1300 ZX-14r etc etc etc transplant

If you put a motor with any power in a Trabi, the car would rip itself apart. Those things are the biggest piles on the planet. Dudes in Skoda's make fun of dudes in Trabis.
