MICROCAR NEWS Online

This short bit from a German version of Sesame Street features a Goggomobil TS250 (it appears at about 1:29).

Apparently the guy is trying to deliver the bed and frame from a store and attempts to use the Goggo.  Lots of fun for the next few minutes.  The Goggo gets in the bed at one point.

After leading the Route 66 group to the end of the trail in Chicago we had dinner at Navy Pier.
The Zündapp Janus led Uwe and Ralf in the Goggomobil Transporter back to their hotel that evening along Lake Shore Drive.
It was a good drive and later we wondered which vehicle might be faster?
Both had 250cc 2-stroke motors.

Nice profile piece from AnnArbor.com about Microcar collector and enthusiast John Hollowell.

Even nicer is that they spelled GOGGOMOBIL correctly!

Jim tries to help but sort of fails.

The same info should apply to any Goggomobil with the Electric Pre-select gearbox.
