Hi,I just joined. I have had 5 Messerschmitts in the past.I still have a red 1958 one here at the house. In 2000 I bought a silver Tri Tech Schmitt with a red interior. I still drives great after 17 years. I do take it on the freeways all the time at around 65 mph. Its a little hairy and you do have to be very alert. The only thing I regret is there is no reverse. My car was the one used in their advertising.Thanks,Bernard
