@100ford2003 Steve; here is the answer to your question regarding the current whereabouts of the Trabant SS Demi-coupe. It is currently being thoroughly detailed due to the "engine" Stalebiscuit (3rd cousin of Seabiscuit on the mareternal side) developing a sudden case of exploding bowel syndrome. Stalebiscuit is at the vet for a ring job; sadly not covered under the time sensitive, conditional, full bumper to door post warranty supplied by the prize givers.

Graeme; I humbly appreciate your mostly bang on accurate comment (above) but I do take issue with "perspicacity'. I religiously apply underarm deodorant, whether or not I am in the city or countryside.
I can appreciate that too Jack. Whenever I have a ready insight into anything I perspire as well. Arrid X Dry seems to work very well.

@graeme-ogg Graeme; Walter Chrysler would have liked your green Riviera project. As per his '52 Plymouth ad...."a gentleman could wear his fedora with ease" while driving. Your '70 Pontiac "six light" is a real eyeful as well.....

@perrone1 Personally I remain unfazed at all times, fully confident and cool as a cucumber. I owe this of course to my educational background (Certificate of Attendance-Level 7). I never perspire and find it to be so very plebeian....for the *little people really.
*Refers to persons of minimal societal significance....does not include Midgets, hobbits, dwarfs, trolls or elves; which would be rude.

You're such a thoughtful, caring and attendance-attentive person. I hope I can be half the man you are when I grow up.

@graeme-ogg, let's not get too comfortabel here. Membership in the Think Tanked group is contingent upon being socially acceptable...for the most part...for most of the members...some of the time...
Just for qualification regarding JK's comment......"socially acceptable" within the Think Tanked (Pense Tanqued for our French viewers/TT Wannabees) is unique to our club culture and varies between general meetings and subsequent interaction in the TT Lounge; especially near closing time/last call.
Just what do members of this group need to be "tanked" on to become a member ? 🍾🍸🍷🍹🍺

How bout we start a go-fund-me site to purchase some "Pampers Horsey Pull-Ups" to help protect the driver as I don't see any type of windscreen in front of them.

Yeah, OK Jack, no sweat.@graeme-ogg "Hmm. As everyone will agree, your Forum contributions are generally noted for their unsurpassed intelligence, perspicacity, wisdom and undeniable powers of logic and acute observation (all deriving from an impressively extended educational experience)".

Desecrate away Graeme, to hell with what the minions think.

Thank you Tony, for your sincere and heartfelt comment. I do caution you about growing up to be "half the man" of anyone, if that puts you into the "little people" category.

@100ford2003 Thank you for your excellent suggestion Steve but we found that a windscreen obstructs the driver's ability to employ the oft-required electric prod turbo feature of this sporty Trabant.
Horsey Pull Ups would not be well received by Stalebiscuit due to her proud thoroughbred lineage....in other words, Pull Ups are for nags.

Well, it appears that everyone is pleased. Now it's almost time for tea and crumpets. Steve

@jkuvakas Yeah closed between 0300 and 0600 for cleaning and repairs and restocking of swizzle sticks.

@100ford2003 Tea and crumpets you say, Steve? Has Mr. Ogg of the GMT come to visit for a few days?
