There's going to be a big bubblecar (Isettas, Messerschmitts, etc) show,
Saturday the 7th all day at the Marina Hotel, 6400 Pacific Coast Hwy in Long
Beach. The guy I who told me about it is showing his supercharged (!!)
Isetta! :-))
Geeezzzzz! thanks for the late notice! There's no way I can make it there
now! Driving my Isetta from Wisconsin to California would take too long, if
I lived! Ya know, not to brag, but my Isetta will go 55 mph down hill with a
tail wind! Of course up hill is something you have to plan for a week
ahead! But mileage above 65 mpg is not too bad, but with a 4 gal tank, I'd be
spending $8 to fill up fairly often.
Finally some cross list postings I can relate to!
