BMW Isetta. One of several microcars to emerge from postwar Germany to
exploit the sudden increase in fuel prices in Europe due to the Suez crisis
of the late 50s.

As a child in the mid 60s, I was fascinated by these "bubble cars" as we

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
