    It’s hilarious when dogs do that super confused ‘where do you want me to go??’ act

    Someone commented on the poor quality of filming.... Personally I like simple no nonsense videos. Shot with a phone on the spot. Alot of you tubers have got too fancy. I like this style

    This was back when car keys had teeth on only one side. The last car keys I remember that had teeth on one side were Chevy Silverado trucks from the early 90s.

    A high speed run in an Isetta is a rather oxymoronic proposition.

    Wish I would have known about your shop before I sold my '91 Geo Metro XFI. Great little car in original condition, but like all old cars, it needed regular love and my days of turning wrenches are mostly over. Fellow Portlander here.

    Mark, I fucking love your videos! You are as random and goofy as myself. You inspired me and now I'm putting together a 1956 bubble window Isetta. Love the videos! I put together a hipster bed and breakfast in Savannah Georgia called the Isetta Inn. Jeff Lane of the car museum is staying down here. He knows of you from your Subaru 360 stuff. I'm going to try to get him hooked on your videos. Next time I'm in Portland I'm going to have to bug you. Keep the great videos coming

    That brought back some memories. My first car was an Isetta. It wasn't as fancy and well maintained as yours but was a lot of fun.

  • @michaelwarren2391
    @michaelwarren2391 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the memories. In the 1950's, the local pharmacy (Levittown, NY) used an Isetta for deliveries. I don't know if it was a BMW model or not, but I'm pretty sure it had 3 wheels.

      Actually the "Isetta" had TWO rear wheels, but they were set close together, made it look like one wheel. I wish 2stroketurbo would get a hold of a "Isetta 600", 4 seat "stretched" version of the 300. I remember seeing the 600s at a BMW dealer in Minneapolis in the late '50s, but NEVER saw one on the street. These cars were considered "luxury" items in Europe after the devastation of WW2! Most of the survivors felt blessed if they could AFFORD a bicycle!

    I was interested in micro cars and have seen a lot of them. For me, Isetta is the best shaped of all. Take this Messerschmitt, looks like the designer had a very bad night before he designed it, lol!

  • @mds2465

      SSFproductions1 I more than 100% agree. I commented on Doug's irreverent "review" on a BMW Isetta at the time he published it on You Tube. I was not very nice. Doug acts like a snotty, rich, spoiled brat.

    Why you hold camera in one arm, and only one arm free ? Put camera ahead, and have both arms free, it will improved quality your clips , and be much easier for you . I reaily injoy your clips.
