Berlin to Austria

It is amazing just how far you can drive a German car. A Volkswagen will last forever, a Mercedes taxi regularly clocks up over 300,000 kilometers in its lifetime and BMWs in Berlin can get stolen up to ten times before they start to lose their appeal. But what about that bastion of East German engineering, the Trabant?

Well, this little beauty got all the way down to Annaberg near Salzburg in Austria. Then it obviously gave up the ghost ... and some enterprising restaurant owner nailed a sign to it.
