Hello Jeff,

thanks for sharing. I (born in 1956) remember quite well to see those BMW Isettas,
Messerschmitt Kabinenroller etc. in the streets. At that time they were the cars bought
by people, who didn't have the money to buy a Volkswagen Beetle, an Opel Rekord or
something even better.
Our neighbour had the Isetta, with his two-years-old son lying under the rear window...
I do not dare to imagine the consequences of an accident.
Today we have seat belts, airbags, traction control etc..
But the microcars gave mobilitiy to the people of that time , and they enjoyed it.
I'm not sure whether we are much happier with 250 HP in an SUV although I enjoy it
(not the 250 HP, but the SUV).
Times have changed.

So, thank you and best wishes
Werner Boeinck
