When he said that I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard! It makes you wonder what kind of mental gymnastics occur on a daily basis in that guy's head that keeps him from walking in front of trains or off canyon rims.
My wifes name and pic. Mark here. Thanks for featuring their show as I'm on the West Coast and the show I attend is the Southwest Unique Little Car Show. Our 40th year will be next April in Arizona. It's so nice to see that show have such nice participantion, great cars and people at this show video. We own a Subaru 360 van previously owned by Ed and Anita Parsil of Az. Hi Billy Paul, thanks for the sedan windshield from many years ago.
I wish someone would show some love for one of the first "American" micro cars.... the American Austin 7. The American Austin 7 later became the Bantam. They came in many variations from Saloons, to Convertibles, and even trucks. They were mini 1930's gangsta cars.
As mentioned, the Heinkel was also built in UK and sold as a Trojan. The company that built them also built McLaren racing cars and the Elva Courier sports car. I enjoyed this video, Thumbs Up! from an Isetta owner.
I own a 1961 Morris Cooper and a vespa px150 an hope to get a old fiat 500 soon. I love smaller cars because the engineering is so interesting on them. Also fun to make them fast. An you still get great gas mileage
Oh god this is too cool. Seeing all this cars, thinking about how you maybe sell this ones in our modern world today . Maybe impossible, but a great vision. And of course i like the german cars , especially the Zündapp and the Heinkel. My father owns a Heinkel Tourist in his young days . He always told me , it was the best motorcycle :D Well done you have showed us this years Microcar Show ! Luckily we have shows like this in germany too, so i can see this gigantic little cars in real life .
Never forget the Bond, first twenty five had 125cc engines (1948) thereafter fitted with the 200cc Villiers single until 1962 when they fitted a 250 single then for the last year the 12bhp 250 Villiers twin, power just dreamed about, ran a 64. model as daily transport in 80/81, once again it was an aircraft designer that used his war won knowledge to good effect after no longer being required, the model G (last of the series) had 12v electrics, seats for four, the smallest turning circle ever, and hydraulic brakes on all three wheels!, a character car if ever there was.
When the Subarus first came to this country, they brought them to the old snuff mill in Yorklyn, Delaware to be painted. They were all white at first. When living at the mill in 1974, there was one left there, inside that had been in a flood. The Red Clay Creek would occasionally flood, as i saw first hand. There was also a sedan car that was about 2/3 the side of a VW Beetle, but I have not seen one of those in a very long time.
Did a semi restoration on a 65 Subaru sambar truck for a local rally team to use as a parts runner. Very unique and cool project I did that I'll always remember.
I had the Irish Heinkel (Trojan.) 2nd hand.. £120! It took my family, me, wife, 5 year old, from the UK, Portsmouth/Cherbourg, to the Mediterranean on a camping holiday. The 200 cc engine never faltered. Of course we had our adventures: We were bumped off the road. at speed, by a French Learner Driver. We ran out of gas in the Carmargue and learnt a great deal about giant mosquitoes! Gorges of the Tarn. (Very few gas stations!) The Pont du Gare. American tourists. The Dordogne. Amazingly stable vehicle: Can't for the life of me remember what finally happened to it!
@@ludovisuis Yes, I think you are right, the Messerschmitt still looks a bit like a fighterplane. I think it was the same way with the creation of vespa scooter sin Italy.

Buenos días...quedo maravillado de tanto amante de la mecánica!!! Gracias por compartirlo. Saludos de Uruguay 🇺🇾 Roberto....un fanático de las isettas y las velosolex.

All the german airplane engineers produced micro scooter cars, Messerschmitt the Kabinenroller, Heinkel the Kabine and Dornier the Delta which was bought from Zuendapp and called Janus
For those of you who love the micro-cars, there's a mechanic in Portland, OR who works on them, and has his own channel here: ruclips.net/channel/UCUfLJhCe4ZzIISnoCH7r6KA Also, he owns several of them himself, including a couple of those Subaru 360s.
Love it ! Why not show us the Smart 451 smallest car built in the naughty's its 8 inches longer than the Smart 450 built in 1998 to 2007 only 8 feet long. Love the Micro cars
Oh yeah, the cars of my childhood here in Germany :-) And still, nowadays... why would you need to have large cars with a huge amoount of weight to carry one person around? I love my Smart Fortwo convertible - what else would you need (except for family and transportation) :-)
How long has this been going on? I was always watching the show on TV and never realized that not only is the show on youtube, but also has more content.
Did you know that the Isetta is coming back? A Swiss entrepreneur has developed an electric microcar based on the famous BMW Isetta, Manufacturing will start Fall this year. Take a look at it: microlino-car.com/en/microlino
I think many of those cars would be perfect for an ev conversion. With today's technology, electric motors perform better than their old motorcycle engine counterparts. Also, being lightweight, their ranges would be very good.
"Is it aluminum?"
"No, it´s all metal"
Good one
??? Aluminum not metal??? 😂😂😂
??Aluminum is not metal??? 🤔🤔🤔🤣
He must be an HVAC guy. That seems to be prevalent in their jargon. Any material steel based is automatically and only metal.
I was about to say the same thing
When he said that I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard! It makes you wonder what kind of mental gymnastics occur on a daily basis in that guy's head that keeps him from walking in front of trains or off canyon rims.
That Isetta 600 is beautifully restored. Like holy crap it's freaking pristine.
I love American Muscle cars , but these micro cars they're just as awesome. You gotta love their quirkiness 😁👍
Am I the only one who thinks the vans are cool A/F?!

That was huge!!! I mean... I'm a big fan of microcars... ah, damnit! We need more.
We might get more, especially if gasoline prices go crazy again. It's bound to happen sooner or later...
Cant believe I missed this show because of work lol ... Ace is the place
When your license plate covers most of the back of your car.
Imagine being 5”8 and feeling like you’re wearing the car

I love the micro car shows, nice one dennis. Next time make sure you look at the honda beat and z600, those are really cool too.

Can you please give me the time stamp?

I passed my driving test in a 1961 Mini Cooper. Almond Green with White roof, registration number was LOL 1.
I have a piaggio ciao, a moped from 1979 and i am planning to take the drive license on a citroen 2cv charleston!

The Subaru 360 looks like a shrunken old Ford Econoline van.
I'm a gm muscle car guy but have a spot in my heart for those little mini vans for some reason.
After a few beverages the burnout and drift competition must be a blast😂🤣😆
I need another hour of b roll from this show
I could fit some of these in the trunk of my Lincoln Town Car
Hey, nice metropolitans. I'm glad I brought mine to the show.

I really like how these guys dont take it to serious. Theyll laugh at their own cars.
Yeah, I go to these microcar shows, and that's what I tell people about them
I like these things. And the guy's attitude makes it better

German plane manufacturers go from producing arial superweapons to cute microcars, its funny
it's because they lose the war so couldn't build military stuff anymore

Love these, even though I'm 6'3 and overweight, lol. I could never really use one...
You would be surprised, All you need to do is move the seat back
@@xmoroseguyx ....into the back seat, lol. The bigger you get, the harder it is to get in and out of anything low to the ground too. There's that whole clown car look to deal with as well.
You've out done yourself Dennis! Lol. Great show.
Oh, a Citroën 2CV!

That subaru van is what I call a true "mini" van
That subaru wan. It would be funny if you like go out in city and "race" everyone. You would make peoples days much happier :D
The Bond bug is my favorite.
They only made just over 2200 of them, Although they are classed as a class 3 trike, It`s not really a car
The Fend Flitzer was made mainly for handicapped german veterans that had lost a leg and could not use a bicycle or motorbike.
Should have done a hour special on these.
WOW, was that a ZAZ in the background? Never thought anyone would bother bringing that to US. You should've filmed it too.
They make my 95 aspire look like a SUV
Small car = best cars
20:05 Well of course someone brought a goat...
@Ellison Rodgers Haha, I suppose it is!
had a Fiat 600 in the 70's just got a Fiat 500 both fun cars !!!
I love your vids. Ps I'm 13 years old
@Zero Cool thanks
Lol I started watching my classic car around 13. Was probly first season lol
I’m only 9 and I luv watching car channels
I also luv cars to
Very adorable cars :3

Tiny cars, tiny goat. 20:05
Insane video, thank you so much Dennis!! Bet you had great fun doing it :-) :-)
that ace cafe is so much nicer than the london one
My favorite is Sanba （スバル サンバー）
I was put on my childhood
You know what's missing, a peel p50 and peel trident XD
Thanks for to video of some awesome micros.
Love the Honda beat and z too !
Different. But a good and interesting episode.
Cool show
IF I had mega bucks, I'd have one of every SMALL car ever made! One of my favorites is the Fiat Multipla...
The last lady he was talking to her car reminds me of The Jetsons cartoon
I want that micro van
Wait a minute here. A Sinclair C5 is a micro vehicle. Where's the Sinclair C5's?!?!?
For those of you who love the micro-cars, there's a mechanic in Portland, OR who works on them, and has his own channel here: ruclips.net/channel/UCUfLJhCe4ZzIISnoCH7r6KA

Great video mate

800kg of car is all one needs for a simple family
Did anyone else have trouble accessing this video when it was released two weeks ago?
i need one of those
20:59 Honda 600!
Time to convert them to EV.
tiny cars are weird and cool but it's still odd to think that my Polaris dwarfs them all in size XD
stop it youre gonna make them popular and i wont be able to afford one
18:36 random goat appears in background
How long has this been going on? I was always watching the show on TV and never realized that not only is the show on youtube, but also has more content.
We're now shooting the 24th season of the show!
The van confuses me. He said he took the rear side windows out to make a panel van, but then put rear seats in, making a passenger van.
Fiat 126 is my fav
That is actually just a trike with a shell, even the frame is just a bike
Imagine if you were suddenly homless with no money and had to stay in your car till you get back on ur feet
Did you know: A 1957 Zundapp Janus was in Disney Pixar Cars 2?
Yep
Gooood
What about the Autozam AZ-1?
Un poco de todo me trago aqui...
P50 is the world's second smallest car. See the P45, lol.
20:05 Like for da goat
Hermoso!!!
And now someone bring a Hummer H1 or something massive.

Tired of you tubes double ads. The cost of orwellian control I guess.
Yeah I thought it was just me getting two adds before most videos
The Subaru van is my favorite! My uncle owns a Nash! Is there a group that has considered modifying micro cars to EVs?
I think many of those cars would be perfect for an ev conversion. With today's technology, electric motors perform better than their old motorcycle engine counterparts. Also, being lightweight, their ranges would be very good.
THEIR SO SMALL!!!!!! I don't think I'd fit in most of them ;_; WHERE CAN I BUY ONE?????
Try searching for them at online auction pages. If you're into Japanese cars try the term 'kei car'
I want BMW to make a izetta in 2019 but my dreams are never going to happen
Just imagine the isetta next to the X6
@@ExplizitDuester OMG I would love that a 2 door isetta would be perfect
@@ExplizitDuester the isetta would be the perfect electric car
@@joeyknight8272 an electric isetta clone is available in Europe, it's called microlino. Beautiful little thing.
@@akshayhulk ohhhhh yeah!!!!-
It’s probably an insult to the micro car community when a smart car rolls up.
Reliant robin or a mini was the scooter killer in england
what's that red car at 0:41 ??
funny little stuff...Giggle
What❓
Not one single King Midget ❓
What is the red "sports car" at 0:41 ?
Any luck dude, even I wanna know.
It's a siata 300 bc, Search for this video on youtube : 1952 Siata 300BC Sports Spider in Red Paint & Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile
I could fit one of these cars in the trunk of my 1995 Lexus ls400
Will there be a B-roll released with the cars that were filmed but didn't make it on this episode?
Ok, Subaru panel van, how much?
Gogomobils were made in Australia
And dont forget the Lightburn Zeta, that was made here in South Australia as well.
