Any time someone mentions a Smart, I think back to the BMW Isetta
which was somewhat smaller than the Smart. They were popular with
some students at the university until one came down Main Street
going pretty fast, hit a curb (someone said), and went airborne;
landing on the other side of of a cross street. Never heard how the
occupants faired, but the cab looked fairly intact in a newspaper
picture.

Isettas were cool. My dad almost bought one. I stopped in at
Grassroots BMW this spring, and they have a very nice early isetta in
the showroom along with an R27 and a nice R60/2 amongst the new stuff
that is not the least bit attractive.
