A friend of mine has an Isetta and a gal I work with has a Messerschmitt,
which was a competing little car where two occupants sat in line underneath
an old fighter canopy. He drives his Isetta in cruise events and such but I
don't know how much or how far he's used it. I, for one, think it's a great
idea for a lightweight tow vehicle. So would you tow it three down, two
down, or one down?
