According to Wiki not European means it's from Russia or from one of the EX-CCCP countries?

By Dongó Imre, if I translated it correctly.

Post by: Allemano on May 13, 2011, 01:26:20 PM
But as far as I understand the translation it's Wartburg based Hungarian project, so actually it is east European at least to a certain extent ...?

Not another geographical disagreement!
Generally speaking when speaking English the phrase 'Eastern Europe' does not mean countries right over in the east next to Asia, it's a political expresssion and means countries of the former Soviet bloc, i.e. Poland, Czechoslovakia (as it was), Romania, Hungary,  Bulgaria and what used to be known as Yugoslavia; although it includes Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia they would perhaps more commonly be referred to as the Baltic States.
'Western Europe' includes countries like Finland, which are in fact further east than 'Eastern European' countries like Poland and Hungary..
'East Europe' is a different matter entirely and would mean countries with a geographical location towards the east!  Similarly 'Western Europe' and 'west Europe' mean different things.
So you could argue either way - that the question meant right over in the east (where?) or did it mean the former eastern bloc?  Only Limo knows what he meant, but I bet you 10 to 1 he meant the countries I've mentioned, so the answer was somewhat misleading.

If I was foolish enough not to recognise this at the first place, I try to catch up by sharing a so-far unpublished picture of the guy's other creation, a microcar
There are other pictures of the GT and the micro on my Hungarian auto history site in the home made cars section

I've come to the conclusion of late, that "GT" is shorthand for "Got Tires".

Nah - on Towns' car, the driver's feet are not dangling beneath the car.
