By the way, if you choose the xenofo(?) basic format, it stops logging you off at every page. At least it
Nice one.

Can't help laughing at your post, since it looks like you got logged off mid sentence.
Thanks!

Great pics Jack, that looks like it was a fine day out.
I cracked up at this too, but I just thought SP was being his usual witty self!
Very annoying, how despite trying the recommended fixes, the forum keeps logging

You're right. I was just saying that it had worked the night before, but it turns out Xenforo default will log you out earlier and oftener.Can't help laughing at your post, since it looks like you got logged off mid sentence.
Thanks!

I'd never seen one these either! Very cool design.
I've heard that some of the best designs are inspired by nature, and I can't escape the thought that Messerschmitt used this guy as a model!

Spot on! I just pulled a mudskipper pic off the net, but yes, you nailed the exact species.
(I had to look it up to confirm that, though!)

LOL, I see one every time I look at that funky Messerschmitt.
The Messerschmitt Mudskipper has a certain winning sound to it, don't you think?

I don't think anything named Messerschmidt would have any chance of success around here, same in GB I guess...

Very true, JP. Small wonder they're seldom seen. I can't help but wonder what one would be like to drive, though...The similarity is impressive!

I'm not offering these for sale here, but I just retrieved them from consignment.
It occurred to me at the flea market, here I am grubbing through inferior knives at superior prices, when I've got those good knives languishing in a glass case and being spurned like chopped liver.

Sure that would be an experience! I once had a 500L Fiat that's wider, in the traffic I always feeled to be the jack in a monstruous pétanque game, in the MS it would feel like a suppository for lorries!

As Catterham, Ariel, and Colin Chapman's Lotus Co. aptly demonstrate, low vehicle mass=fast and agile=
. It doesn't take a lot of power in such cars to get impressive power/mass ratios rivaling the best sports cars. And, Messerschmitt AG knew a thing or two about this topic.

I see a lot of those around here as well Randy. I think their popularity is the gimmicky aspect as well as some folks think they might be a shorter learning curve for someone that always wanted a motorcycle, but terrified of the two wheels. From my perspective, that just takes away from the fun of a motorcycle and the open air experience. I've ridden motorcycles most all my life and I think I would prefer to go without than to ride one of those around on.
I've owned this one since I bought it new in 1998 but the last two years has sat practically untouched. That makes me sad.
