>engine-into-car idea once: the 600. Remember those little buzz-bombs?

They had a LIVE axle with a chain drive, that had to be oiled all the time,
they rusted out in about 30 days in Canada..... another neat car along that
line...The Fiat 250.... I don't think many made it into the US, They were
later changed to 600cc and called a Simca? in N.A. I think....but the 250cc
were a real hit in Europe... I have a guy who lives over near me... has a
car show on his lawn (big farm yard) every summer..He has about 8 of those
German Messersmits (I know it's spelled wrong) 3 wheel cars you see in
circus acts... when he has his show, other people around here drag out
their, Austin Mini's , Fiat 250's and every car a midget ever dreamed of
owning.. I always enjoy going over to see & hear them
ciao
