I was more worried about bumps in the road.
Thanks so much for a fun ride through You Tube. What a great bunch of guys & fantastic machines. Cheers guys.
Dennis Gage and Doug Demuro makes up 100% of the car videos I watch. I watch doug for the reviews of mainly quirky cars, but sometimes i just put on a supercar video. I watch dennis gage when im bored because it is always fun to watch.
I think these Leprechauns , just smoked thier entire Pot of Gold !!
This show has given me a whole new appreciation for tiny cars
If i became rich...then subsequently decided I wanted to be a car collector, this is the kind of stuff I would collect.
Wow wonderfull this car's
These are so cute! But I'd be afraid if I was involved in an accident, very little protection.
Fantastic video! So cool to see 2-strokes in these vehicles. I ride old 2-stroke motorcycles. My latest is a restored 50cc Honda MB5. Cheers!
Love the music when they're driving really fits these quirk master micros!
I remember following one of these through the Rockies in the early 60s. It did quite well!
A wee bit smaller than a smart car and yet more room !
I remember when these were common on the streets of London. I loved them then - still do!
Could watch this every day 🤠🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦
My first time hearing about these. Neat little vehicles.
I expected a fight to break out when Dennis said "Right here in merry, old England" to a Scotsman in Scotland.

I had a Messerschmidt and drove it to Jugoslavia in 1967!
The teal cabriolet is my all time favourite
Scott lands ' Viper ' 0 to 60 4 days ( down hill. with a tail wind ) 0 to 100 " NEVER " I got a little nervous, when you passed that herd of Sheep,,,,one of them looked quite Smitten,,,,at that speed even a sheep could catch you,,
Electroshock! he fits perfectly in the orange messerschit
Excellent post 👌👌
These were som of my dream cars as a kid :)
In my youth the Messerschmitts were well known as "Schneewittchensarg" (Snow White´s Coffin)...
Great 👍👍👍
Very cool! In America you'd get crushed by a Escalade or a Navigator!
Great micros 🥰🙏👍✌️😁😎🏎🇱🇷🍻
Do more on micro car's, that was interesting.
Those Euros really know how to have fun!!!
I bet these things get 50-60 miles per gallon, but gas in Europe was always much more expensive than in the States. These cars were built when U.S. cars got 7-12 miles per gallon!

Gasoline is very profitable for European governments.
My Bubble was SHR 456 and my Cabriolet was XXO 911.
i really like that white one. it looks so goofy
I've never heard Dennis say "eh" so much in any My Classic Car show. Must be a reaction to the Scottish accent.
You missed the 'Scootacar'. Great wee job!
Wouldn't these kind of microcars catch on nowadays? I would totally get one (if they were affordable)!

In addition to the 2 correct comments here, these cars have to have 2 stroke engines, to keep the weight down. 2 stroke engines are very dirty burners and wouldn't come close to passing muster. Yes, a few folks are the "I don't care, it's too interesting/cool/funny/unique so I'm getting it anyway" types, but your question is "catch on". They wouldn't catch on enough to sustain the factory. Electric versions might catch on when battery technology gets the size & weight and charge time issues solved.

dr seuss looking cars lol
I did see these on American Pickers
something strange......i took a video this same schmitt at moc rally this year and it was a roadster......then according to this it was up loaded on 16 nov 2012....dont know how old the footage is....... i wonder if the guy who owns 825 AOU knows its a sport ......just a thought :-)
Im sure the one was in the Disney movie "Finding Dory"
I think those are really cool. It would be neat to have a modern version of one. I wonder if one is to build a replica, one could use modern gauges and a scooter engine and transmission?

I quite like this actually, it's got a nice chummy atmosphere about it. Almost like being back in my old classic car club in Dumfries & Galloway. I bet that presenter was in for a shock when he was told he's going to Scotland to look at Microcars with 2-stroke engines

I can just imagine driving one of these down the highway when suddenly your are blown to the side of the road like a piece of cardboard by a passing semi ! lol
No need for the music at the end during the drive, would rather hear those tiny engine sounds

The Messerschmitts weren't the most refined, but they were the most racy... and racist

This is awful - where am i
Existen carritos pequeños pero este no me gusta.
This series is so hyper and over dramatized... maybe many car people have micro attention spans and ADHD but I don't think most do...
should've just crushed these rolling fish bowls 50 years ago and been done with it.... worst part, 3 year olds will be laughing at you driving by....these would be cool installed with cb radios and that 12 foot whip bolted to the roof!
