Went today. Well worth a visit for the reminders of some vehicles I saw still on the road in my youth and some others that I didn't even know ever existed.

Re: Bubblecar Museum
Very good pictures. Rather amusing to think there's at least 10 years between me and the youngest car on display! ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Bubblecar Museum
I used the know chap with a Messerschmidt. Apparently to go into reverse you just started the engine in reverse rotation (basic two-stroke). Interesting concept.
Re: Bubblecar Museum
Back in the early 70s the lad up the road had a Bond Bug. Pretty quick, but like most, if not all three wheelers, rather unstable.
I remember Messershmitts and Isettas, and wasn't there one called the Gogomobile. Many of those in the photos I have never seen, but the photo of the petrol tank of the James reminded me of my brothers first motorbike, a 97cc James.

Interesting that the Goggomobile Transporter pickup was often used as a snow plough.

So does this mean you could achieve the same top speed both forwards and backwards? As if you have 3 forward gears, and you're running the engine in reverse you'd be able to use them all as reverse gears?
