David Hasselhoff is driving Trabant in Budapest
Thu, 03/17/2011 - 01:38 — marekDavid Hasselhoff is driving Trabant in 1997. This video is shorter version of aired TV segment. He made his own experience driving Trabant (the best car ever made) in front of the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus in Budapest!
He pointed towards the light blue Trabant and asked ... "this car"? It is really funny how he barely could fit inside. I believe that he did not know how to back up. You really need to know what you are doing if you want to put this awesome vehicle in reverse.
David Hasselhoff (born July 17, 1952), nicknamed "The Hoff," is an American actor, singer, producer and businessman. He is best known for his lead roles as Michael Knight in the popular 1980s U.S. series Knight Rider and as L.A. County Lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the series Baywatch.
While his star rose, fell and rose again in the US, Hasselhoff's popularity remained a little longer in Europe during the end of the 80s. Hasselhoff had two number-one hits in the German pop charts in 1989 ("Looking for Freedom" and "Crazy for You"), the first of which very much resonated with the fall of the Berlin Wall at that time.

Trabant frame is from steel and roof, bootlid, fenders, doors and some other parts are from Duroplast (strengthened plastic). This design in theory do not provide much crash protection. But in some crash tests it scored better then some modern small hatchbacks. Trabant was the first car with a body made of recycled material.
