Nope. Just a little too much alcohol, and feeling no pain.

Cheers,

 What a hoot!  You'll see that we actually got to DRIVE a couple Messershmit
 cars.  That was a treat, though I can't see driving one as my daily
 transport.
 Anyway, I shot raw and used PSE3 to export as jpegs so there's no editing at

Neat!

Had a neighbor who had several of the 3-wheel Isettas, although I 
remember his having a Messerschmitt script across the front door. As I 
remember one was the driver, which never left the garage as long as he 
lived there, and the rest were for parts.

I lusted after one of those Berkleys as a kid. I remember the King 
Midget ads in Pop Mech too. One Halloween several of us teenagers picked 
up a guy's Isetta and put it on his porch. Micro cars, you have to love

We did a similar thing at my high school graduation. 4 of us picked up
a mates '77 Civic and put it fore  aft between 2 traffic bollards.

I think he had to do a 300 point turn to get his car out :-)
