Bill still has his Isetta and the collection and many stories. Retired now and living at 4425 Willhi St. in Eugene, he welcomes anyone to come by and see the Isetta and many toys, etc., collected over the years. Car has been resurrected and soon will be running again and if you're lucky he will give you a ride in one of the BMW's. Iconic history!

Home of one of the largest BMW Isetta Collections, cars, parts, toys, and just plain old fun small car stuff. Home of the First Documented Isetta to actually cross the USA Ever. This was done in 1993 by Big Bill Darland. "A Little Goes A Long Way," he has a small amusement ride boat he tows with his Isetta and also a drag race one too, with parachute, wing, slicks, wheely bars, and also the ski's for running his Isetta in the wintertime. Gracious host welcomes visitors all the time!! 2692 Tandy Turn, Eugene, Oregon, 97401
