[DeTomaso] Trabant 601 Interceptor

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Konrad,

As a recent convert, I am very impressed by your experience and expertise with these annoying rare performance Q-ships of the automotive world. I am distressed to learn that practical use of the flame thrower is not advised. Darn. It had so much potential and bricks are so, well, primitive.

How did you come to appreciate such an under-the-radar performance vehicle?

Tongue firmly in cheek, Chuck Engles

The proud "Interceptor" badge would have been very popular with cops stuck behind it at a stoplight in Houston.

The flame thrower option would be ill advised given the Duraplast car body, I believe throwing bricks out of the window would be a lot safer for this class of vehicle.

Dear Konrad,

Clearly an inspired and unexpected choice. I didn't know that these came with *flame throwers* that are particularly stealthy in contrast to their very unassuming styling. See link below.

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
