please. ah 3 times long, but still very much alive that when you travel your guy to his essential and germany, europe, i recognized where exactly. it was fun. i learned a lot our culture history, all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit with oh, oh oh oh i i am a lattice football man. jeff was plenty of confidence.

he mystery. when i went to get to a level where people really thank god. oh wow. oh, she's got talent. they had must go ha. molecule so it's emma lattice is last training session with f c n f. she's the only goal in the clubs under 15 side and south america having about initially i didn't think about that at all. i just played football and i'm good the see older you get, the more you think about it, the swing and so on. and sometimes i would play with the boys and they'd say, oh, with the girls spirit of when the law side he does with us or canano, antoine i. so it's made, it was hard to find my place in the team because i was always v girl who was playing national school,

where mon hope and my classmates and walk us. mm. excuse me of her. but emma didn't let that stop her. thank i love assistant, i wish i think it's important not to lose faith just because it's a difficult situation that sooner i wanted to keep going whatever it takes until i got to into my head. and so it became a kind of challenge neither. maybe even my biggest challenge over can also and grocer. the of them are in the more time i spent in the group in the team, the more they accepted me and stopped seeing me as the girl. and instead, just a member of the team who wins on either i met and then it became easier for me to

play football and do what i loved doing. this was the school, the smallest had to take an offer. griffin. emma is saying her good byes to day after 2 years in the age groups highest tier, she's making the next step in korea. so i have uh attention. it was really nice and i have to admit, i cried to let to let the end of it. but it was lovely when touch is especially towards the end. and i am at home and bon emma relaxes with her family. full football has dominated her life since she was 4 years old. not to list up of them on from, on the scene. but of course, you could see from the star that emma had talent, sir beings, why did she was always a girl who enjoyed moving around?

so it's but a career or the idea of going pro or semi pro was never the focus on focus cubism. oh, interesting, something's wrong. she had fun playing football and my wife and i supported her in that industry. if she goes a week without kicking a ball, it doesn't do any good. she needs it to be in a good see progress. but it's not always fun. as a girl, playing football m a regularly had to fight against prejudice. her family helped her through those times with you about the negative was and she's had some negative experiences of being rejected by coaches for example, or fighting away into a boy's teams. and then not being accepted by the players, advise them from image been am expected to when there was some hard moment. so how

to which she also used to her advantage. the other things are often because she powered through this, nancy and she said, i want to make it as i want to prove to them that i've got what it takes. bus is destroyed and swore packing up for the next stage in her football journey. emma is due to start at a sports boarding school in cologne. that's because the 15 year old has signed her 1st professional contract with f. c. cologne for a family year. oh, my family was totally open and didn't want to stop me from doing anything. so. ah is come you as her as a shopper over? i think they're a little sad that i am going away. i'm sure the i put some, oh listen child. but above all, i think they're happy for me, and that i'm taking the next step and of a foreign darcy even didn't,

should yet smart hover. emma takes a few personal items with her to cologne. in particular, she wants to bring a photo of her family. miss bell was, does he say young ben? i realize i'm very young madame and i am very grateful because cologne really didn't have to take me onto their system water and really looking forward to it, it flows and flatter time. ah, some 50000 fans are in attendance for cologne season opener. a totally new experience for emma to be a journal annoying soon. i'm a little bit about leon. she's the youngest player in the senior squad. made there what was wrong for you? oh, they do b, b, o. an indescribable one goes on believable that this is happening, repertoire,

but rather than, i'm so grateful to be here and it's incredible how many people were there. was levels lot. i have never seen such a huge crier eyes. i am a little bit overwhelmed by my emotions. oh yeah. what in food like thing is emma's new life, the cologne squad is getting ready for the new season. the club was keen to bring her in and made contact with her family early on to secure her signature in the future. she said to play an important role in such a glass as teen valence as one for we met emma 2 years ago. she was just 13, then we were so convinced of her talent. we decided that it wasn't too soon for her, but she was in good hands with the boys team on domains rollover. and this is the

right time for her to switch from boys football to the women's team. we know it still only she's 15 and will builder up gradually. we've brought her into the 1st division squad because she's proved herself in her training sessions with us in finance. and now we'll bring her through with caution. remember with the law, we wanted to put her in the 1st team squad because we believe she has the talent. and we think the training will help her on that planning. definitely. there's lots to get used to with new exercises and more intensive sessions. but with good communication before it feels good in her new team, the largest and most be case, you're not having fun, it's harder to motivate yourself with wish to train hard and do extra training on x . that's what women. if you are having fun, it makes it so much easier to make it bake eventually. uh huh. that's also what will make it easier for me for you and for how to swing sophia. unfortunately, sometimes i feel that i am putting myself under a bit more pressure to do it, but that feeling helps me to keep my feet on the ground. and that would be the one

that had the had to come for now, emma only does one session per day because the 15 year old is also still at school . learning alongside a pro football career isn't always easy, but it's an important part of her new life. time rises tense. i think it sometimes it is really stressful. you cuz i have to go straight from school to training to measure the shorter. so i don't always really get that much time for myself long, so much more than i prefer inside from iowa. but i know that school will also be an important part of my future. schuler, and not necessarily what i'm doing right now, but my qualifications for it's called us was muffled in richmond, up from my aim is to do the final exams and then study at university internationally ansuka. and i'm sure i will need that in the course of my life. and so it's totally worth doing because there are no guarantees about what i'm doing right now in the opportunities that i currently have solicited meant as was near

mint gimler. and we'll see. so to learn more mankato lucas cut novel time off with her friend and teammate live. it is important far away from family. so paranoid as if it's me, it's totally new not to have them there. 247 will model. so of course i get a bit homesick sometimes does his challenge my home, we hobble say so does not that i feel it all day long and had, but before i go to sleep at night and when i'm tired or just generally really shattered credit going on down it can be like that with us. when you're exhausted, thoughts come into your head that i'm different aren't always great laser. so yeah i, i do feel it's all home sick, but it's not like it affects me all day, but i still love my family very much from italy. shortly before the start of the season cologne have a friendly match against i acts in in shadow. emma is in the squad,

although she doesn't know if she'll make her debut for the team. she starts the match on the bench. who is it? it's an exciting game with chances for both sites. but as the 2nd half kicks off, am i still waiting for her opportunity in the 83rd minutes her moment finally arrives. i had to look across and saw the assistance coach marcella looking through her nose and you, i was the only one who could still come on. so i thought it might be happening. absolutely no kind come cleanser saying i was from the scene and when she finally told me i was so happy that she gave me all of these instructions and i tried to follow them on the page move events. and rosen gave me the stuff,

and lots of times you'll ever get stuck in. she plays with courage and shows her talent. it's not enough to help cologne to victory though the match finishes as a nil nil drawer. her spouse much thought it was fun. it was something you to with the speed and physicality of la mancha, but i think i just had to learn to assert myself and deal with it all and im them only and so can on stuff and i'm excited about that for sure. let us, i hope i get another chance to play for the 1st team soon. done this evening. as a young girl, emma are played boys and battled against prejudice. now at just 15,

she's played her 1st game as a professional, and her journey is just getting started. ah. do you like it? do you want it? okay, then buckle up, put the pedal to the metal and lets ride. mm. read. next on d, w, v, o god, the best rum and the best to god cuba and sell a food shortages, inflation isolation, back to cuba. fidel castro's socialism has failed. and humans,

a m. g. soups up the baby pants with formula one technology ah, did the eye clinic treble, the prostate coll that ruled the road in communist east germany is back. this time with an electric heart. we met the man who dared to tinker with the notorious to strive, classmate obvious. kish took the trouble, is a part of history order. it's really famous and has cult status art or so it's great to take it into an electric future to through to film was knowledge and toners are a to hopkins. so hardcore fans say it has to make that knocking sound and stink otherwise it's not a tropi is medical services. but of course this electric version has

a couple of practical benefits. i'm. it is an electron place for the guns. i'm driving the whole time in 3rd gear and no because i don't need to really accelerate. it makes it feel a bit like an automatic because we are the mother. it began as a hobby for mathias bear is now a site business. he actually runs a cleaning company, which is why he and his team developed a travel conversion can't keep us on board vitamins is i, we never wanted to come up with some kind of make ship solution or what it was for the commercial market. not unbidden, which meant providing aversion that was easy to use and performed well on the road and kept the customer satisfied. so hot for i'm and little quinta took hedonist dashed on the e version is

a no frills of fare and keeping with the true bonds style to tobacco. but some things you can't replicate. driving an electric travel is an entirely different experience for the ease. jacobo comparison, we are doing 70 and the noise you hear is more the transmission than the car itself . out of the electric may cova is possible with any to a band model not started out as a prototype in 2012 is now a standard package. the drivers can either do the conversion themselves or have bad do it. the 1st step is to got the vehicle out for a while now it's ready for the electric power train, unclipped all the gasoline engine parts no longer needed, have been removed and seen out in my while, the engine and attachments on the exhaust of the original ignition they're all gone it and the fuel tank, and that's actually fitted up front and a turban to come. it's all gone down and our phone lines respond up on that. so now

on this, we're ready to refitted as an electric car. i've to buy as an a cough to appreciate what electric travis really means. it helps to look back at least, germany's beloved and hated automobile. a bunch did fill the turban, came from a state car makers accelerating and spickle rec, and was built there till the end is to let's give out the 1st heavy road of the assembly line. on november the 7th. 1957 fires typically faced a 10 year weight and a price tank equal to a year's wages. it's body was made of plastic fiber composite resin due to steel shortages. the tabby was also a manifestation of the shortages that typified east germany economy. in german trouble, it means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellite launched into obit that same year shortened tubby. the car became the companion of east germans for generations. it's while the

alaska bit was used for ever saying making out making babies, people slept in them or camped out in them and covered big distances in them. so as long as they had enough spare parts with them, and vcr sets them on without a i real. hm. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold our hats and you'd sometimes see alternators discarded on the side of the autobahn. this machine did a home. lauren, the most savvy trompe drive is always carried extra spark plugs and nylons as a substitute fan belt. the car itself weighs in the just under $600.00 kilos. it's lightweight, makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less hela to get a new thing. for an tips model, we fit a 12 kilowatt motors,

which means it has the same output as the gasoline powered trouble. and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance issue of fungus fun drop off on didn't fall as from what done to antipathy. these are electric batteries stowed. we put in 30 or 60, depending on the range is little search too strict. i think about bell. i'm uses house trick here we see the heart of every e v. the battery pack on clips, but he, i like the original, shabby design, mathias bez, electric conversion kit is no frills. just the batteries, charges and fuse books in the back and the mysa up front visual angers of the eye and we wanted to retain the true bonds, simplicity and the whole. in other words, no complicated controls and electronics and according on earth, you come there are some different components in hub and as high. for example,

here we have the main monitor classes. we've been in classic any car style. it has a battery display tag which currently shows 100 percent arch bill. this particular d i y converted shavanne to is almost ready mathias bag gives the added parts and general set up a check before passing it on to the official testing center. we're done good. now the car can go up to the inspectors of non bang unplugged and ready to roll. the only thing holding back owners of a he, travis is battery range. in the old days, tribe drive is faced a different kind of limit to their movements. thanks to the cold war. oh, of oliver kind to boy. they never really were a symbol of freedom. i king louis no freedom came in 1989 when the wall came down

and latravius drove across into the west, loyal synth. all that was free to horace. hi, really they were a symbol of them is management. so centralized economy and material shortages, martinsville trust, the fool if the wool meant the end of the tragedy to their wits, he is among the workers at the saxon ring factory. as the last of the 3000000 units rolled off, the production line in 1991, travis would become increasingly rare in we unified germany before then. nostalgic . come back up on its hurt. irish baby now got a passionate fan base. i guess he jumps them up and they're even considered a financial investment as we help unlock the they've practically become vintage model is fine. lots of fans are fixing them up to look better than when 1st bill irish knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect shawn and return of hidden fog. there are still around 38000 tribe ease in we had and wonderful

varieties in germany today. with a growing share of electric editions as close to misfortune as a people make the wrong equation that a simple car means low price shot is unfortunately, nato. a little 5. that is because of the high quality lithium batteries we installed that are now standard and modern cars, each room property and ion storm. and that's the cheap price factor. of course, this is natalie from the hub price compound, ender. it costs 22000 heroes for the d i y kids or 27000 plus to have a car converted by the city sax team. the exotic appeal of the causes even lead to the gross of trompe safaris in berlin, where tourists can cruise around the classic sites of the been jungle. and now of course, there are electric additions to it it's,

it's, since you're driving this guy. this is also a bench with the road to where the road is, you know, or, or not at all. so for this and of course the travel trip takes in checkpoint charlie the most famous border crossing between east and west berlin from omaha, nebraska. it's pretty amazing being at the wheel of a trip on to checkpoint charlie on her. it makes you kind of emotional and very proud. a new age has dawned for the tragedy as the cult communist cost silently palace into the future. without leaving a big stick behind if you want more rev, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, bread can make you very happy. vintage classics and future
