Hey, I heard that the Trabant's body was made of plastic. Is this true? |
|
◊ 2006-09-20 00:22 |
Yes, made from "Duroplast": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant |

I also heard that they came up with some sort of bacteria that dissolves a Trabi's body. A bacteria that eats plastic? Weird. |

I heard that also rats liked Duroplast very much. -- Last edit: 2006-09-22 20:52:33 |

Cette bactérie a même été officiellement nommée "trabicille"...  -- Last edit: 2006-09-22 22:16:45 |

Rats would eat Duroplast? Was it harmful to them? Boy, no wonder a bunch of Soviet era cars were the butt of certain jokes. |

Did anyone of you see "Black cat, white cat" - "Crna macka, beli macor", directed by Emir Kusturica? See here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118843/ There is a scene in this movie where the protagonists drive along the shore of the Danube river and a really huge hog feasts on a Trabbi wreck. This gave a mighty roaring laughter in the cinema here, as it was in Eastern Germany (former GDR), where the Trabant was a common sight. The film is one of my favourites, BTW. Ah, here - hungarian version:  The Trabbi had the advantage of being 100% mechanical and very easily self-serviceable, if you could get the spare parts. And it was very easy to handle. A friend once brought me an electric kitchen stove with his Trabant. He simply removed the front passenger's seat by removing 2 screws from the seat's rails and then taking out the seat.  -- Last edit: 2006-09-25 23:36:52 |

Yes, great movie!  It is famous picture from it. Delta Fox, Duroplast is very harmful for the natural environment , so for animals too. And about jokes. Of course, cars from the eastern block were very funny, but I love them, I can't explain it well, but for me they had this... unique charm of the innocence, like people which lived in this region (so also here!), in that time. Lived - past. .gif ";)") -- Last edit: 2006-09-26 16:06:54 |

If Duroplast is harmful to the environment, then why do rats like it? Maybe they don't know any better... Yes, east bloc autos are funny, particularly the Trabski. And they do have that special something. It also seems that certain jokes about them, especially certain Trabski jokes, are funnier if told in their original language. In fact, I made up a Knight Rider parody called Knight Ranger. Basically; it's about Matthew Short, a regular guy who gets shot during an attempted carjacking & survives, but with serious face wounds. He is chosen by dying billionaire William Knight to become a crime-fighter & becomes Matthew Knight after receiving plastic surgery. His car (a Trabant P-601 sedan), is turned into a high-tech car called KRAP (Knight Ranger Automated Petrocar). I haven't put it all on paper yet, but I hope to do so one day. |

Are you writter at your free time Delta Fox? I mean when not on IMCDB ! |
|
◊ 2006-09-26 23:00 |
Well, I wrote a few song parodies, and a couple of short stories, but not that often. Maybe I should start work on Knight Ranger. |

My 1967 has been chewed on by the evil Rust monster, but not by rats yet! |

Old Duroplast stinks horrible, just because of the age. In 1991 I broke a piece of Duroplast off a P50-wreck at our local junkyard (even in Western Germany they were overfilled with thousands of all kind of "Eastern" cars after 1990). I brought this piece of Duroplast as a gift to my friend in Canada -he had to guess, what it is .gif ":)") - but with an very ugly collateral effect: all my clothes were stinking horrible, the suitcase and my hands, too.  Your hands even will stink, when you just touch a Tranbant, for exapmle for pushing it away. I'm very happy, that the most of this GDR-junk has left the streets today. Yes, there should be some left for collectors, but not everywhere and everytime as in the GDR. |

Never noticed that from just touching, however if you cut the material it is terrible! I know someone who installed a sunroof and sawing the Duroplast made a smell like burned hair and fish! |

Last modification of oldfashioned, elegant bumpers. So it's 1979 car. |

Das klingt echt wie ein weiterer Trabant-Witz. Mein liebster Trabbi-Witz: Kommt ein Tranbant in einer Kurve vom Wege ab und landet auf einer Wiese neben einem Kuhfladen. Fragt der Kuhfladen: "Was bist denn Du für einer?" Da sagt der Trabant: "Ein Auto!" Darauf sagt der Kuhfladen: " Also wenn Du ein Auto bist, dann bin ich eine Pizza!" (Den hatte der Diether Krebs im Film "Go Trabbi Go!" als LKW-Fahrer erzählt, neben vielen weiteren - er ist aus dem Lachen nicht wieder raus gekommen). Also das mit dem Händestinken nach der Trabant-Berührung, das gehört in das Land der Fabeln und Legenden!. Solange die Duroplaste unbeschädigt ist und dann auch noch Lack drauf ist, kann da nichts nach Plaste stinken! |

With no context, this made no sense at all and made me laugh |

Nö, das war so. Es ist zwar schon 26 Jahre her, aber vielleicht erinnert sich mein kanadischer Freund noch, dem ich den Duroplastsplitter mitgebracht hatte. Das Material stammte von einem P50, den ich auf dem örtlichen Schrottplatz (Anfang der 90er stapelten sich auch im grenznahen Westen die alten Ostautos zu Tausenden bei den Schrottis) kleingetreten hatte. Wie gesagt: Splitter. Ach, mein Freund Mario (www.teilethimm.de) wird sich noch an einen weiteren Duroplaststinker erinnern. Frag ihn mal nach dem grünen 601, den sein Onkel auf seinem Hof hat stehen lassen, nachdem Mario ihm einen Audi 100 [Typ 43] besorgt hatte. Werner, ein weithin bekannter DKW-Freak aus Brake, dürfte sich auch erinnern. Der hatte diesen 601 als Teileträger für seine DKW-Kollektion übernommen. |

Du hast da einen Brocken aus der Plaste-Karosse herausgerissen und mitgenommen. Dass der dann auch stinkt, das kann ich voll und ganz nachvollziehen. Aber dass vom bloßen Anfassen an einem unversehrten Trabbi die Hände stinken, dass gehört ins Reich der Fabeln. Da hätten Millionen von uns DDR-Menschen ständig die Hände nach Plaste stinken müssen. Nein, das war nicht so. Aber das mit dem abgebrochenem Teil, da gehe ich mit. Der "Gestank", das müßte dann der Phenolharz sein, der das Baumwollzeugs zusammenhält. -- Last edit: 2017-08-04 11:32:54 |
