This could make winter fun

The Isetta is cool!

We're pretty good at destroying sno-cats at work. Even though our office is based out of the same city where Tucker sno-cats are manufactured (Medford Oregon)we use the Bombardier ones that are similar to a dozer. The factory rep was giving lessons last winter on a frozen pond and they went through the ice into about 4' of water, which nearly destroyed the machine (water in the hydro unit). The only one I would consider buying used for personal use would be a Tucker, only because it is made in the U.S., and uses common parts for most of the drive-train. The Bombardier units we have are all hydrostatic, and have about a million things that could go wrong down the road. When we have broken them, it seems to take forever to get the parts, and since no equipment is lineman proof, we need parts.

COOL! Put some wings on it and you have a flying BMW Isetta

Several years ago when I went to pick it up I told my wife that I was going to buy a BMW.
She looked at me as if I'd lost my mind.
When I pulled into the farm and parked it by the barn.
She looked at me as if I'd lost my mind.
Hmmmm.....
At least I'm consistent.....

I kind of accidentally bought this on Craigslist a few months ago. It looks like great fun, but I have no practical use for it.

I'll probably run it around in the snow a few times and then let it go. It's in good shape, but the tracks are $1000 each to replace. That seems mildly insane to me. It has a 25hp OMC two cyl, two stroke motor. It runs good, but man does she smoke.....
