#SillyWeek

Over at Man In A Shed.

The silliest thing I saw all week was an old East German Trabant. For the first time in my life I actually sat in the driver's seat of one, and the steering wheel and pedals are slightly to the right of the driver's seat rather than straight in front, so after a few seconds you get a mild ache in your shoulder and back.

There is also so little space between the pedals and the steering wheel that you bang your right knee on the steering wheel every time you take your foot off the accelerator.

Absolute genius.

Yes, well. Some of us see the Trabant as evidence:
