Jack's Toy Is a BMW Isetta 

That guy is nuts, and I mean that in the best possible way, we need more wonderfully crazy people like Jack.

This guy would be a joy to have a conversation with.

Damn, I wish my grandparents were this cool.

This little video just made my day. What a guy

this is an amazing, amazing, amazing story about a funny little car. I damn near cried.

Sometime in the mid sixties,I was riding with my Dad down the center of town. Looking out the window, off in a shopping center parking lot,I saw the front of a car open(steering wheel and all) and a man emerge. We continued down the road and I excitedly told my dad what I had seen(steering wheel and all). I amight as well have told him I saw Santa Claus....He laughed and said I was obviously mistaken and laughed a little more and when we got home,I told my Mom about it too,to no avail...I had simply imagined it,apparently....But I knew and I never forgot it....some 25 years later,I was in a BMW Motorcycle shop and there was an Isetta....I couldn't believe it....I got the lowdown and had a most wonderful time reminding my Dad and proving myself right after all those years....

That is a great story of a man and his beloved automobile.

Goddamit, this guy is so dorkly adorable :D

MARYLIN FELLING WAS KNOWN AS "THE ISETTA LADY" . SHE HELPED ME FIND MY FIRST ONE BACK IN 1985 . WE JUST GOT OUR 7th ISETTA & I FINALLY I HAVE A CONVERTIBLE !

The 25 miles part is what got me. It's like those two were meant to be together.

"I'm a knitter"

This guy is so cool and what a great story. I wish I could find one of my old cars!

Absolutely heart melting story! being a fellow BMW enthusiast i have to say this story made my week!

Absolutely love this story!

Best car story ever. Those cars are amazing! and the little isetta toys are adorable!

I wanna be like this dude when I get older. Seems like he's full of great stories.

watching this just makes me happy. What a lovely guy Jack is

So many forget this car is not originally a German bmw but an Italian Iso rivolta, This is why it kept its name Isetta. This car has been originally invented , design and produced by Iso Rivolta (Italy).

So awesome, cars are like people, its amazing how he ended up with HIS isetta after all those years...

love these crazy old machines.

I felt just like a kid sitting by the camp fire and listening to an amazing story told by an interesting person... #ThatFeeling! Best regards from a guy living far far away, but share the same petrolicious passion!

I've saved this movie on the internet, on my phone, it's so amazing! It's such a lovely story, with all your talents (fantastic jumper!), you could turn this story into a cute cartoon-illustrated children's book! You could then sell it generally through companies that do automobile books, and also through the internal Isetta Club! Also, this is just the sort of novelty that Sunday newspapers like in their book review section! Make it comes out in the run up to Christmas, so people can buy it as a gift! Remember, when new books are planned, it takes about a year until they are ready for release. One more thing, because the car did only a few miles between when you first had it, and when you got it back, it must have "been waiting for YOU." (Come to Daddy)! Like a lost dog! Did you see that film, INDECENT PROPOSAL, you know, where a couple are at a hotel or something. A man sees the lady, and apologetically tells them that he is so taken with this lady, that he simply HAS to sleep with her, for one night! He can offer them ONE MILLION DOLLARS, and they are reluctant, but they realise he doesn't mean this in any bad way, and they are in a bad way, with not being able to pay their mortgage - so they agree to his suggestion. There is a statement at the start of the movie, IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING, LET IT GO! IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU, IT'S YOURS FOREVER! IF IT DOES NOT, IT WAS NOT REALLY YOURS ANYWAY! Like your car! So make quite sure you keep it this time! I would like to tell you how such a thing happened to me, about a painting, and, incredibly, about someone who owned not an Isetta, but a Karmann-Ghia! I don't know whether or not you're in the internet so I'm giving my postal address - so you can give me either your internet address, or postal address, if you want to hear My stories! NYGEL MILLER, 112 DOUGLAS CLOSE, WALLINGTON, SURREY, SM6 9JY, ENGLAND. It would take too long to tell you HERE on the comments section of your fascaniting video!.

Hearing this chap's story about his very cute, and totally awsome little car has just made my heart melt. What a lovely little thing it is. It's totally made my day.

It's a true BMW. No turn signals!

If BMW brought this back with the fridge door I would be so happy. It will be a winner if they can keep it under 10k and use EV technology. They would make millions.

I've seen isettas before, cute little car. Moral of the story I guess is that as hard as you try, you'll never get rid of one.

Love his enthusiasm

I can remember seeing these as a child in the 1960's.The last one I saw was in Monaco a few years ago

This is my favorite story of all the Petrolicious videos.

That is the coolest sweater I have ever seen.

My Mom had one back in Germany when she was younger. She told me she used to transport the Soccer team in this little Car.

I just reached this channel and I'm watching all the videos, sometimes more than once. These stories are incredible and beautiful! And I just found my home in RU-vidland

That is a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing!

I have actually met jack Charney and seen his funny little bmw in person. hes a member of the Ariel motorcycle club my dad belongs to. beautiful house up in the canyons packed with vintage motorcycles and just cool old stuff. really a wonderful guy and if you ever met him you'd totally understand why he owns one of these.

Man, i'm so happy for him!

Jack is my new inspiration

i remember watching a video of an Argentino trying to restore an Isetta, he was selected in a tv show, to have his car restored. After the 'restoration', unfortunately, he found all of the original parts stolen and what was left, broken (was not noticeable in tv), and the car not working. Worst part is, the people who restore this, are selling via "mercado libre" (Argentinean e-bay). I wish, that some day that guy can make his Isetta run like Jack's Isetta

I lost track of how many times I said "I want one"

I love Jack and I love his Isetta! 💕

This was such a heart-warming story!

Haha, just a had a huge smile on my face watching this video - Jack is a pretty likeable guy.

What an amazing story, I feel so happy for you having your beloved car back again. I dream of driving such a time machine as yours. Greetings from Brasil.

Understanding elegance itself, in this car that no one saw in nearly 60 yrs "good video indeed"

what an amazing story. really heart warming stuff

what a great story :) hopefully I can find my old car like that

What a guy 👍 When I grow up, I wanna be like Jack

i guess that car meant to be with him.

Loved the story! Isnt it funny how old cars bring people together and create memories! Its just something new cars will never create...that magic!

I've never seen one of the four wheeled isettas before, it's a good look

Legendary car. I love it.

What an infectious and delightful gentleman. Great Video as usual!

Who remembers this BMW Isetta from Family Matters Steve Urkel learning how to drive

that is probably one of the most amazing car/owner stories featured on this channel... love it! keep up the great work Petrolicious team!

Not surprised that BMW USA would not service the car. But what a good story and a wonderful old car.

I fell in love with these cars. I want one!!!!

RIP Jack 😢💕⚘

Another amazing video, addicted to these. So inspiring!

What a sweet story, it’s like destiny. Two souls connected man and car. A car like this shows the absurdity of super cars. A super car costs a fortune + a million and even more to maintain and doesn’t give more driver enjoyment and happiness than this cute BMW Isetta of years gone by.

omg this is the coolest story

When something truly belongs to you, it will always find its way to you

I still love this video, my favourite on Petrolicious. Watched it lots, still hoping to buy an Isetta one day!

Really nice video, my dad and his brothers used to play with a motorless Isetta behind their home in the 60s, the used to push it up a little hill just to "drive" it back down. I like those cars!

amazing car amazing story. blessings to you

What a great story! I can always count on Petrolicious to have wonderful cinematography as well as storytelling with each new episode. Truly happy for this man being reunited with his beloved Isetta.

Beautiful story...good guy, that guy jack.

Another amazing story! Really heart warming

God bless you, Sir. I sincerely hope you're still around. God bless

Perfect Isetta and a lovely story. A joy to watch.

I really enjoyed this one. Thank you!

I love the stories on this channel, and that was a great one. You can tell that this guy is just in love with his car.

I watch this video every time I'm having a bad day. Always puts me in a better mood. It also helped motivate me to acquire one of my favorite cars from my elementary school days.

Jack is the most kind car lover I ever met. He is such a good man. What a story.

Shoutout to not only Petrolicious for making some of the best car content on RU-vid, but also for fostering such an incredibly supportive and engaged audience! No other channel on RU-vid can you scroll for miles and just see happy comments commending not only the creator but the subject of the film. Again, Koodos Petrolicious!

I like Jack. Cool old dude.

Wow! What an unbelievable story!! That car is awesome!!

Whats really crazy is, how much these things cost these days, a good isetta is worth 10000€ (about 13000$), and a perfectly restorated one, 30000$ at least. Because after the war, isettas and other "cars/bikes" like that were build so that people could get something better than a bike. But then, more and more people were able to afford cars, the isettas were discarded, given to the kids as a first car, and so on. Add to that, there isn´t much "thick" metal on that car, so rust will kill it quickly, once its no longer taken care of. And its the same thing, with all the other bikes like the isetta, all the gogomobils,glass, messerschmitts cabinroller, and so on. Discarded as trash in the late 60s and early 70s, and these days a garage full of them, would be enough to pay for a new house.

This is absolutely fantastic!

What a journey, a story. That was brilliant!

Wonderful!

I see this guy on Mulholland all the time. Great story!

all of these videos really show the beauty in the connection between an owner and his/her vehicle. it is truly an emotional bond stronger than love itself. great work Petrolicious.. its insane how much emotion you can bring from these videos to even the most ignorant auto enthusiasts.

gotta love the stories that i found in this channel love your videos

Best story so far!!!

I like the three wheeler with one wheel in the back . something quite similar to this one but 3 wheeler is sometimes featured in one of my newly found favorite British reruns drama/melodrama/comedy called "Heartbeat" ran circa 1992 to 2000 that series . Setting is perhaps a fictional small rural town called Aidensfield in Yorkshire(which is a real county in England ) . The bubbly female who works at the pub (with a couple rooms for travelers and such ) drives one around .

beautiful car beautiful car story

a heartwarming story

i cried a lil, very touching story

Just loved the story

Just awesome!

Great Guy, great story...love it.

Incredible story!!

great clip

He and that car seem like a good match for each other.

A great story indeed. Love unique little cars.

Incredible story! i hope to own a car i love that much when im his age

Now to change the plate to "JAX TOY". Lovely little car.

I must say, I absolutely love this channel and all the videos. I think it is a real testament to the quality in that it is the only series of videos on youtube in which every comment is positive. It is a refreshing change from the rest of youtube. As an car enthusiast, this is the most enjoyable series possible. Thank you for the great work.

Great story teller.

"It's fun"!!! (what a fantastic story and incredible guy)

Very beautiful
