Unser Fuhrpark

Our official vehicle is a Sachsenring Trabant 601 Universal station wagon from East Germany. This one was built in 1988, although the original design is from 1962. 

Very little changed in the 26 years - why fix something that is already perfect?

The license plate OB 22-43 points to the district Bad Salzungen in Suhl county (now in Thuringia). This two letter combination was introduced in 1974.

For our LPG Eichenalm, we acquired a 1990 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat. We are the second owners. Work done:

• Fan shroud replaced at 108,000 miles. It was already brittle and broke when we were changing the belt. Pro tip: don't slip up and lean onto the shroud.
• Timing belt and belt tensioner changed at 100,000 miles. Next check: 130,000 miles.
• New air filter at 100,000 miles. Next check: 110,000 miles.
• Current work: mud flaps. We are in the process of removing the old ones. The bolts are rusted in place. The truck will also get mud flaps in front, mounted approximately 9 inches above ground.
