    And now, for something completely different. . .

    Check out the micro car museum in GA.

    There are hundreds of micro variants there - everything from Messerschmitts to Isettas to Subaru 360's, and every variant in between.

                  H&Rs are a better quality spring.

                  Me, I wouldn't run "coil-over" (Weight jacks) on the street.

                  We really jacked this thread...

                    I was hoping someone would make the connection.

                    The movie Brazil was written by Terry Gilliam and starred (among others) Michael Palin.

                    The main character in the movie drove a Messerschmitt micro.

                      Brazil...

                      One of my all time favorite films.

                      I didn't know it was a Messerschmitt micro.

                      Cool

                        My GF and I are actually going to the lake this weekend and planned on going there, Madison, Rock Eagle, and the Iron Horse. I am bringing the cam and will report back.

                          My car is double-duty though, half occasional driver and half auto-x car. I don't daily it, so coilovers would be a good way to go for me, I think.

                          H&R race are a better quality spring, but the IE III's are just fine.

                            Micro car museum? It must be a small building.
