For the love of a Trabant.(News)
Byline: NIGEL BURNHAM
An English farmer has been ordered to get rid of his massive collection of Trabants after they sparked a cold war in his village.
Graham Goodall loves Trabants and has been collecting them since 1990. He claims to have the world's largest private collection of the distinctive East German car that once symbolized a divided Europe.
But many of his neighbors in the picturesque Peak District National Park village of Middleton-by-Youlgreave aren't too keen on their corner of one of England's most popular national parks being turned into an alfresco car museum.
And now the National Park authority has issued an enforcement notice ordering Goodall to get rid of at least 40 of his 49-strong fleet. Officials say they have exhausted every possible avenue in their efforts to resolve what has been a long-running dispute.
But Goodall, president of the Friends of the Trabant UK Club, is refusing to oblige and has vowed to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
"I've only got 49,'' Goodall says, "so I don't know what all the fuss is about. There are four parked in the gateway, but all the others are down in the garden out of sight.
