20 years ago...

This year the world conmemorates the fall of Berlin Wall.I remember then a little car begins to move through the roads of western Germany: the Trabbi.
The Trabant was a low cost car, with a resin-made body, produced by VEB Sachsering Automobilwerke Zwickau in Saxony. Between 1957 and 1991 three million cars were produced in 4 main models. Even the GDR army had their "jeep" version, with canvas top and without side doors.
My friend Luis Pitarch found this neat yellow Trabbi some days ago in Valencia. Is the last model of the saga, a Trabant 1.1 Limousine. His license plates are from Hungary and dated from the early 90's.

KFOR Humvee

There is four pictures of a dusty M1114 Humvee in Kosovo, taken by my friend Luis Pitarch some years ago. Thanks a lot, Luis!

Keep on truckin'...(II)

Another great serie of photos taken by my friend Luis Pitarch in Irak. Here are some examples of the famous M977 series trucks, in various colors and camos. These trucks aren't up-armored yet because they are pictured early in 2004, in the first stages of the war.

Here is another great shot taken by my friend Luis Pitarch in Kosovo. This little cabrio is a Zastava 750, the popular italian Fiat 600 made under license from 1962 onwards in Kragujevac, Yugoslavia. Since the start of the Balkans conflict the production was ended (the license was given to Tofas in Turkey where production continued until 1995)and Kragujevac produced armament until april 1999 when the factory was bombed by OTAN planes.
This funny car was painted in camouflage and used probably by militias. His license plate, barely visible, I think it's from the serb municipality of Priboj (license code: PB in cyrillic alphabet).
