Hello from NZ. Great commentary - typical Dutch sense of humour! Respect for your fluent English. I drove an Isetta bubble car in my youth and have often wondered why some manufacturer hadn't taken up the cause and provided a modern equivalent. Here's the answer in the Highland 45. I used to cruise the Isetta at 37mph. It could go faster but the ride was hairy!

Thank you for the comment , these mini micro cars are all over the place these days , young or old folks , everybody loves them , they are part of everyday traffic so nobody gets nervous when a thingie like that is in front of you , most do between 50 and 60 km/h , PS , is the Isetta still around ? , grtz from Holland , P.
@peteacher529 жыл бұрын
dutchurbanminer No, unfortunately! The Isetta cost $185 in 1967 (it was a 1958 model) and I used it as my only car for 13000 miles, then it spat the dummy. Replacement parts would have cost more than the car was worth, so it was sold cheap to someone who put a stationary Honda donkey in it. BUT! ... about 10 years ago, one from a car collection came up for auction, and it sold for $22,000!!! So, with the 20/20 vision of hindsight, we should have kept it and done it up with genuine parts. It was not an economical little car, though; 40 - 45 mpg if you were lucky, about the same as the 1937 Austin 7 it replaced. Cheers.

Colin Gantiglew We all know how cheap the cars and bikes were in those days compared to todays prices , if I had an old moped bought for 25 and sold for 50 now that was a huge profit , nowadays that same old moped is worth a small fortune , if I would have kept all the incomplete or parts bikes I ever owned I could fill a space like a church... But... , the dreams and some pics are still ther !!

i have a Microcar M.GO DCI i can asure everyone that these cars are the best option if you want to drive small distances but still be dry and warm in the winter, and cool in the summer (with the airconditioning option) and parking is prety easy with the rear camera and parking sensors its a dream car in my opinion plus, no car driving license needed, a AM driving license is enough
