Challenge for today: Spot the Trabant.
It was quite bland driving on the Austrian motorway. We were one of the first few cars to drive out, so we cruised on the motorway waiting for other Czech Wreck cars to go by so that we can film them. It will be our last chance to do so.
When we got the few minutes of footage of other wreckers passing us. We decided to test the czechalier's top speed.
We did well and made it to the Czech border around lunch time. There was no one at border control so we drove straight pass. We did stop off to ask a man in a cigarette kiosk if he sold a tax pass for the motorway, but he didn't seem too interested. We continued to a petrol station, stopped to ask the cashier about a motorway pass. She didn't speak English and none of us spoke Czech. We decided to push on. We found a nice little truck stop in the Czech republic and decided to stop for lunch. The food was very cheap and quite good.
After lunch we decided that it was about time we started the challenge. We drove past a DavoCar lot, but didn't see a Trabant. We even stopped off at a car dealer and asked them, but they didn't have any.
The sat nav must have been set to avoid motorways because we were driving around on small village roads, thinking we're lost again. Then almost instantly we saw the skyline of a city. Yes we made it to the outskirts of Praha. And not one Trabant in sight.
[The annoying thing was : the days after the the challenge we kept seeing loads of Trabants]
Followed the sat nav to the hostel. Then.... well read the next post!
