Re: New VW Pea... The car built a little over 6 years ago out of a VW Microbus chassis (supposedly) for BirdsEye for this British TV commercial:

Re: New VW Pea... Volkswagen Does It Again! Does look a bit like a minature microbus. Maybe I should keep my '67 micro to haul the little guy around inside. Might fit through the side doors.
I saw a new Fiat on the local roads. The owner had already dropped in a nitros. package. Smoked the doors off the dude in the rod hot V-6 Japanesse built car!

Cute ad. When I looked at what was left after all the sheet metal fell off, it looks like one of the larger ATVs or one of the crossover type golf carts.

The car shown without the sheetmetal is NOT the same as the one pictured in post #1. The rear wheels are set close together like an Isetta while the bare chassis has both axels the same width. The stunt pea was probably a golf cart while I think the show pea was indeed based on an Isetta. How pea-culiar is that?

If you were to put rubber bumpers all the way around the car, if you got in an accident, the car would be like a ball in a pinball machine. Just run some sensors on the rubber bumpers to cause bells to go off when hit by something.

Ok S.R., good idea! But I think I'll go for a hopped up FIAT 500. Already looking.Get one or two more and you would have peas in a pod.
