Subdeacon Joe Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Where's the 30 mm cannon mounted? It's a Rearward Firing gun, to deal with tailgaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jake1001 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 In 1968, a friend showed me his Messerschmitt in the Garage. It was Yellow and he called it "Yellow Submarine". Kinda cool seeing them again after all these years. Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It was late one night in the deserted streets of little Bad Tolz in suthren Bavaria. I was drunk. This was not a particularly unusual occurence. But what was unusual was the strange noise I heard behind me. Kind of a whiny weird noise. I turned to see one of those things approaching out of the darkness. Into the light of a street lamp and back into the darkness, and then again as it got closer. BZZZZZZ pup pup pup bbzzzzzz. I was pretty sure it was an alien invasion and I was about to have a close encounter. I sprinted across the cobblestones as best I could. By the way, wet cobblestones are difficult to sprint across, even when sober. I tried to make myself small up against the ancient buildings. It zipped by me within a few deet as it came into the yellow golow of the streetlight once more. \Inside I could make out two non-aliens, one with a beard holding an immense beer stein. In a flash it was gone. I managed to get home safe. The next day I tried to tell my buddies about the UDO (Unidentified Driving Object) I had seen. Nobody believed me of course. It was several months before I saw a pic of one in a magazine and I relaized I wasn't crazy. Well, as crazy as I had thought anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooky Joe, SASS #24061 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 In 1959 I drove in a 6-hour race at Hockenheim for micro cars 600cc or less. One of our club members was Peter Borgward, of the car company with the same name. He supplied three Lloyd Alexanders for the race. The class of the race was the Messerschmidt TG-500 Tiger. This was a 4-wheel version with a 500cc engine You can see it here: http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/messerschmitt-tiger-red2.html. One of them recently sold at auction in excess of $300k. In college I drove a BMW isetta. http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/isetta-1960.html. Fun car for around town. They're getting a bit pricey now, with good condition examples selling in excess of $10k. My classmates were always picking it up and depositing it in strange places. Really liked that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most commuters could get by just fine with vehicles like those. Heck, I'm looking at trying to find something small and inexpensive to feed.

Subdeacon Joe Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 The problem with teeny cars is they have to share the road with much bigger things. Much bigger. You would just have to learn to Dodge before you got Rammed! That aside - for a lot of urban commuting on surface streets, it really wouldn't matter. If you have to do any freeway driving, yeah, that would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'll stick with my Dodge Ram for now. While I try to avoid accidents, I'd rather be the killer than the kill'e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
