best video ever :D

from the title, i thought you were referring to the actual bmw golf carts they have.
here in flor-ada, we have massive golfing based retirement communitites where they allow the golf carts to drive on the internal roads, have over/under passes for golf carts, consider golf carts at par with regular vehicles, lobby/harass neighboring communities to allow them to drive the carts out of their communities and onto external roads. i've seen bmw z4 fronted golf carts, mercedes e class golf carts, buick lucerne, lacrosse...., hummer, et cetera. old people love those stupid things, perhaps because they've had their licenses revoked? (shrugs)

If thats an isetta, its backwards. Isetta's have the single tire in front which steers.

Ahhhh sorry Alex, but no they don't :D Check out a few images of the isetta in Google Images and you'll see that it's wrong.

Here, I even got one for you to look at:

Also, Isettas have four tires -- two in the rear that are pretty close together.

I would've pixelated the faces in this movie. I feel bad for the owners of the golf course, replacing fairways are so expensive, much less putting greens...That being said its not my golf course and it was very funny.

I have three Isetta's, but no interest in a 3-wheeled version—especially not one with the driver sitting on the right side.

OK, never knew there were 3-wheeler Isettas in the UK. I would imagine that it was still a two-wheel at front, one-wheel at back affair?

BMW Isetta's were available in Britain from 1955, but as they were four wheelers there was little demand. I am fortunate in having one of the original demonstrators owned by the concessionaires, AFN Ltd of Isleworth.

Production began in Britain in 1957, at first merely the assembly of parts supplied from Germany. As before, the four wheels prevented a lot of sales, and a three wheel model became available in 1959. During the time that the British Isetta was in production, from 1957 to 1964, an increasing number of British made components were used, including Girling and Lucas parts.In the right-hand-drive three-wheeled version, a huge weight was required in the "passenger" side cavity near the front wheel well to offset the tendency for the three-wheeler to tip over—a problem much worse in the RHD version with only the driver present. All my Isettas are 4-wheel models though, for some unexplained reason, there are some 3-wheelers made for Germany and one or two in the U.S. including the BMW Zentrum in South Carolina, though somehow that one looks like a fake 3-wheeler to me.
