DynaMike ◊ 2010-06-07 16:35	Oh yes, I do remember Tatra trucks driving around, here. I always liked them because of their nice rounded houd and the comic position of the rear wheels (due to the swing axles). I think we also had some small Framo trucks and of course many cars. Shortly after the war the Czech Aero Minor was the best selling car in Holland... and in there were many Škodas, Wartburgs Trabants, IFAs, EMWs etc. But I don't think we had the IFA trucks, though.
