This heavily overbanked curve after the first loop on Knott Berry Farm's Silver Bullet doesn't count as an inversion, though it's nearly banked enough.
Thanks Travis!
You really made her look awesome!

Flower's 1957 BMW Isetta - The Silver Bullet - and E.T. Co-Pilots at the 2009 BimmerFest BMW car show on May 2, 2009 at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Santa Barbara, California.
The Huge E.T. was a wonderful birthday present from my dearest friend, Michael Jackson. He got it from Universal Studios when he narrated the film's record album.
This (huge) adorable character is an almost permanent fixture in my bubble car, and has probably influenced a few show judges to grant us a couple of awards. The E.T. dolls usually attracts kids and encourages the young generation's interest in vintage microcars.
I simply love the scoundrel look in their face.
A train goes over the not-quite-an-inversion (an extremely heavily banked turn, but not counted as an inversion) at the Silver Bullet at Knott's.
The Silver Bullet, at the 2009 Art Center Car Classic show - July 19, 2009, Pasadena, California - sporting our curved badge bar and vintage European car club badges for the first time.
This is a 4-wheel, 1 Cyl., 300 US Export, sliding window model, Lucas teddybear ear indicator lights. Imported from Germany on April 1st, 1957. (April Fool's Day !)
With a tail wind and going downhill, it can reach up to 45 MPH in a street with no cops. We don't need to go faster, we love the attention.
No, we don't go into freeways, it's more fun to use the streets and sidewalks.
Yes, we are often challenged with rev competitions by hot-rods, sports cars, SUV's and a few Bimmers while waiting on stop lights. We always win because they smile and forget to accelerate.
Yes, we suffer of the Paris Hilton Syndrome: People take our pictures with cameras and cell phones, wave at us, make faces, drop their jaws, freeze, smile and yell hello on the streets. A few have followed us like Paparazzi do.
The tank fills-up with just about 4 bucks, but runs aprox. 80 mpg.
2 large people fit comfortably, or 2 regular adults and 1 small child/dog, or 1 driver and 2 E.T.'s, or 1 regular person and lots of supermarket bags..and NO, it does not roll over while turning on tight corners.
Yes, 4 strong people could probably lift this car up a flight of stairs.
