I bought a two seated BMW Isetta in 1963 with the money I
managed to save plus with a bit of a loan from my father, so
that I could get to my students faster. I had wanted a motorcycle
originally, but it stirred up the air at home. Cobbled streets, tram
rails – in other words: certain death. Instead, my father helped
me out. I was not hard to convince. Cars were about to pop up
on the streets; they became fashionable and unreachable in
those years, unlike motorcycles. My small car made me popular
around, but not so much in the IBUSZ office where I worked.
The boss commuted by tram. I got a new position: I was
expected to be available in 24 – 48 hours as a clerk at the ticket
office. The Isetta also caused a stir in our one-time capital
Pozsony (Today: Bratislava).
