I also don't know what car this is but there was a small car in the 50s that the whole front opened to get in and out. It was as small as the Smart car. Ugly but like to have one just because it is different.

That'd be a BMW Isetta there, Ian.  When Judie and I were in Munich back around '93, we walked out the the BMW museum there and right into a rally of those little suckers. Cute little babies, actually.

Saw it, Dwight. Seems the mini car folks like to play with the 'busa engines. Quite a few old Minis too.

I like the Isetta. And I have an early 50s Nash, like in the picture. I paid a $100 for it just because I thought I would make a really weird street rod out of it. Never got to it since buying and fixing up the 49 Chrysler Windsor, which is kinda ugly, in an old time classy kind of way. But I really hate the Scion's, whoever it is that makes them. My niece-in-law had one, and that is the ugliest little box on wheels there ever was.

We joke about the Scion. We say " Hey, look, it isn't even out of the box yet."

Had a friend that had the little BMW when I was in college (late 60s). It was definitely a cool car that turned more heads than a Triumph. It looked really cool in person.

Why does it say it's a Busa engine but he has GSX R decals on it? It sounds like my mates GSX R powered go kart though. Either way, I bet it's great fun at the traffic light grand prix
