Bob, I am very sad to see this. I had higher expectations of your Isetta restoration skills  ;D

You could sell the picture to him, don't be mean.
Is it possible for an Isetta to implode? An American, It looks like it is in America, induction mod into the cabin, big bore conversion, full chat and a bodyshell that was a tad weak? 606! That is the opposette of POP as it was imploding just then!

I will ATTEMPT an extra terrestrial decoding of Big Al's commentary:
It is an American Bubble window as can be seen by its big headlamp shells.
As everyone knows, we Americans cannot help but put big V8s into everything that comes on to our shores, so-
Induction mods into the cabin could be causative mechanism for proposed implosion of Isetta body if the monster motor was modified highly enough to suck in the too frail body work.
606 is POP written upside down and backwards if you ignore the curl of the 6's- so may to a sufficiently dyslexic mind, seem to be a reasonable sound to emanate from a process which is the opposite of an explosion.

Al -  Did I get any of this right?  If so, it may be a bad sign.  I wasn't previously dyslexic.
As I have alleged before, I think my brain has become demented from reading too many of your posts

Yep and it's great here! No pinko bedwetting types, campervans etc. Just strap on your Bergenholme, go free and your here in no time. (Lensman series - good read).

ABO (Absoloutly Bang On), Steven, your in the zone. Warning this will probobly lead to a further Microcar purchase, or other useless object, if you keep it up though. Mind you you can be sensible at work where they pay you for it.

I like the idea that Bob is proposing that he is Normal. Yeah, take another look in the garage and control the grin as your Moped reaches top speed. Admit it, your as RUM as the rest of us you tease.
