Hey all, just wondering, If you make a bike engined car, do u have to buy one of those very expensive quaife reverse boxes to pass the dreaded SVA? Cheers

no reverse is necessary, just push! in the same way, i suppose no forward gears are necessary either really, but it would be a bit pointless...

The beauty of this type of car is:-

It's very low - you can reach the floor with you hand.

It's very light...Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....push.....

Reversed no problem.

Or, park in places you can drive straight out of, like women do.

no

a car with no reverse or forward gear at all would have no drive. you could then eliminate the engine. Its not then classed as a motor vehicle, and wouldnt need sva.

start a trend perhaps?

Cheers fellaz thts great news!! Will get the girlfriend in training immediately!

Through fear of recrimination - may I suggest you girlfriend practises opening her legs wider!

This is merely to avoid the hot exhaust as she exits the car to lend a hand with reverse - though it is an ideal opportunity for some fun and games maybe!
