So that's what you spend your money on, explains why you're behind on your TDW subs.

Pedant mode on.
Hoist BY his own petard.
Pedant mode off.


Of course that depends on how you’re defining pedantic

Pedantry corrected.

In March 1957 the Southern Locomotive works on New England Street, Brighton finished its last railway job and, 6 weeks later, re-opened to assemble Isetta Bubble Cars employing 200 local Brighton workers, most of whom had worked in the locomotive works on the railway vehicles.
As the factory had no road access, all the parts had to be brought in by railway, and the assembled vehicles had to be sent out by the same method. At the height of production 300 cars a week were made which averaged out at one and a half per person.
The Isetta factory made its last vehicle in 1964, the Isetta having been made extinct by the BMC mini, and the bubble car era came to an end.

A man I do work for had one of these as his first car, he often mentions what a bag of shit it was. But it put him on the road, literally, selling insurance and building his fortune. These days he’s got Rolls, Ferrari , Aston etc in his garage and spent over £120k restoring a perfectly good TR4 because he has fond memories of one in the 60’s. I’m going to try and convince him to get a Bubble Car so I can play in it.
Incidentally if anybody ever took out “Loss of earnings” insurance, I’m sure he, his grown up kids that were all Directors and even the Captain of his yacht would like to thank you.
