Thanks Sparkly. I came across the You Tube videos the other day after talking to a friend about cars we had driven and hearing he hadn't seen a Wartburg Knight here in Irelend.
The conversation and seeing the clips motivated me to write the piece.
The last time I had a good look at a 353 was in Berlin in 1994 and I had seen them in their home environment in East Berlin in the early 1980s where the Stasi and the Police used them extensively - the Police had them as pursuit cars - 75 mph was enough when chasing a Trabi!
