There's a new one on. They have this little mini Isetta thingy, that they are going to mount to a shifter cart frame, and power with a turboed Hyabusa(sp?) engine. Thats F'in cool.

I will be most pissed if they butcher an Isetta

They didn't make the time, so it was smoked with a 50cal. And it wasn't an Isetta, it just looked kinda looked like one. To answer my own question, Monster Garage is not cool.

It was a car from the PEEL corp. It was uglier than sin. I started watching it but then went and got dinner.

How did they fail?

Peel Trident?

I hated that show since they wrecked a mint '67 Cadillac hearse. It was a stupid project idea, the crew were a bunch of pussies, and they shredded it when they didn't finish it in time.

It looked nothing like an Isetta. I have a strange desire for one of those! Along with a Metropolitan, Amphicar, a "real" mini cooper, and of coarse, Subaru 360.

They failed because they didn't do much work. Too much karting and dicking around with tattoos. Combine that with the fact that none of them had ever worked with a turbo, and the lack of direction, and it was pretty clear they'd fail.

There's a mint 360 inside at a local lot - no idea on the price though. I agree; butchering an Isetta would be tragic.

They had a little trouble with the project. Too many small errors.
But bad midget jokes aside, they probably would have failed if they were just turboing a 'busa.
