Cool, its the car Steve Erkal used in that funny TV show, I dont remember the name.
How is the acceleration on that thing?

Family Matters... I'd hate to get the front end up in the air

looks like a big powerful lawnmower, and i hate it

Yeah, its Family Matters... Its was so funny when he drove that thing.

It does look like like a lawnmower - you can hold the huge wing and push it...

Definately one of a kind. I'd rather have a stock restored Isetta... they're hard to find.

So where does the BMW part come in ?:)

LOL @ that thing.

Ugly but fast.
It would be cool to see exhust flames comining out of that.

So where does the BMW part come in ?:)That is a BMW Isetta! The front anyway

What engine Isetta originaly had? 10bhp?

It had a one cilinder engine , 250cc,
Originally from a motorcycle
