Although I look forward eagerly to the day when I might qualify for a prize in the form of a super-sporty Trabant - something which Lounge members apparently aspire to with an enthusiam bordering on unbridled lust - can I just ask exactly which version of this gorgeous vehicle is actually on offer for the "lucky winner"?

If it is one of these  . . . .

Trabant 1
Trabant 3
Trabant 2

 . . . my anticipation knows no bounds.

However, if (as I strongly suspect, being mistrustful by nature), it is something like this . . .

Trabant 4
Trabant 5

then I am not going to squander any more of my precious remaining brain cells on Lounge brainteasers just to get a piece of crap like that. Sorry, I know that it's the taking part rather than the prize that is supposed to count, but the simple joys of social participation have their limits.

I'd rather enter a modest little competition on the Krusty the Clown Kiddie Kwiz Nite website in the hope of winning a nice little AMC Gremlin

Gremlin

(Or is that a Fiat 127? Anyway, I think it's rather lovely)

David, you are probably right. Or maybe even this . . .?

Trabant horsepower

Don't you just hate it when sites like these try to lure you in with deceptive offers?

So are you saying it's the bear bones version that's on offer? Or something with a rather huskier power plant under the hood? Or even a woodie?

I would ask you to clarify but realise that all I would get in return would be a surreal dissertation with obscure references to the Wizard of Oz, I Love Lucy, Gotham City, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc. etc. Which might of course be immensely relevant and consciousness-enhancing but please, don't go to too much trouble on my account.

Do I detect a sub-text there - "I'll Be Back"?

All noble efforts at describing the prize. In the interests of clarity, the committee would like to issue this statement, "While we are flattered by the epicurean nature of those images suggesting to be representative of the nature or semblance of the prizes offered, we strongly advocate a somewhat diminished sense of perspicacity as to the substantive corporeality of the said inducement."

Well stated Mr. Moderator.  In support of the selfless devotion of the Prize Committee *(PMNP) I would just like to add we have always strictly adhered to a diminished sense of perspicacity.  We would also like to thank Brother Ogg for his submission (done on Greenwich Mean Time btw) demonstrating the level of frustration experienced and resulting pettiness expressed by persons not successful in winning our incredible prizes and becoming the envy of the masses.  In closing we ask that contestants keep the faith and not be misled by Brother Ogg's attached images, as the Forum Prize Trabant Vlad Edition will be "one of a kind".
