    The look on Hillbillies face when he picked up the Isetta and walked with it was priceless. If there was ever a "Hold my beer" face that would be it. Great video.... Love that you and Westen were teamed up.... Deja Blue probably isnt the least bit thrilled. Haha
  • Bought this new in 1958(?) and drove it to work for years. BMW reliable but a little chilly in Vancouver Island winters. Great to see one again.🎉🎉

    She carries cookies in her purse! Westin, you put a ring on that girl's finger right now.

    Hey guys, I’m a long time subscriber . In my youth I hade 5 Isettas. Many great stories. I used to enjoy going to the auto parts store and asking for a set of spark plug, singular. The stock voltage regulator is also the starter solenoid. The generator is also the starter. The fuel shut off lever behind the seat is on in one direction and reserve in the other. If you don’t drive it like a mad man, useful for keeping up with city traffic, I used to get about 80 miles per gallon. Oh and don’t throw away the front shocks, they are rebuildable. Please contact me for any questions you might have.

    Hillbilly was like "I got no time for child's play" - and just picked up the Isetta and rolled with it... 😂😂😂
  • @chipprice1174
    It'll always be the "Erkle Mobile ( Steve) to me! We have a restaurant in Chesnee SC that is Bantum Chef" It has a little museum in it and has one of these cars. According to the plaque on it, BMW was in financial distress, started making these cars and got the funds built up from the sales of these, and fast became the BMW of today.
  • @johndoran3274
    Everyone had their first exposure to this fine automobile when Ercole drove this thing into the house back in the ‘80s. Sweet!
  • When I was in high-school a friend's dad had an Isetta. They had 9 kids in it once with the door closed. It looked hilarious. I thought one girl was gonna freak out before she finally got out.😂😂
  • @rickclark4112
    I literally blew milk when hillbilly picked it up off the jack and just walked off with it.....OHHH MYYY GOD!!!! Great stuff guys!!!
  • @gwood69
    Westin and Robby are YouTube gold. The collab we never knew we needed. Can’t wait for the off road games. Gonna be a hoot!
  • @jimandnena4
    In the 50's, our pharmacy delivered prescriptions with this model. My Sears rototiller has the same chain drive. I think my rototiller is heavier.
  • @danrussell3439
    Make sure you check that the baseball cards are still attached to the rim with close pins to make the engine sound like we use to do on our bicycles
  • @avlisk
    I saw one somewhere near Boston in 1960. Haven't seen one since. It was really cool then, it's really cool now. I hope I don't have to wait another 65 years to see another. Robby, get out the checkbook! Thanks.
  • @neXtFriarTuck
    Robby! You need an Isetta!!! That would be awesome!
  • @daviddaw999
    In the UK we got a three-wheeled version of the Isetta with just the single rear wheel. I had a friend who owned one and he claimed that he made love to his girlfriend in his. She would kneel on the seat, facing to the rear, resting on the parcel shelf. He would stand behind her with the door open and sunroof rolled back and voila. I was impressed by his ingenuity.
  • @scottmiller2455
    Such a fun video to start the day, put a smile on my face. Love the end where you guys are making your little boy Tonka toy noises talking about putting a turbo on it. Thank you.
  • @Oom.Dollie
    I actually had one of these back in the early 70’s. This brought back good memories. I replaced the ‘donut’ in the drivetrain with a piece (double up) of car tyre. 😎
