When I first saw it I thought OMG..
But on reflection, actualy it ain't bad.
I used to drive a 3 wheeler when I was a yoof. (Bond Bug) I would love to have had it then

If the price is right, bang two wheels on the front. If youve built a Locost, easy.

shouldn't be too hard to put 2 wheels on the front - ok if it's cheap enough?

Ooh, i love that. Put a decent engine in that and that'll outrun most of our cars. Just think of how much less drag is on it without the extra
wheels
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Why bother? You don't have to worry about toe and camber settings, just concentrate on getting the castor right

I love it just for the sheer lunacy of it. I'd park it on caterham stands at shows, rear on, just to see their faces when they saw the front.

Why would you want to ? It defeats the object of building it in the first place.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Great drag racer with a turbo busa engine in as you've saved a lot of mass and drag by losing the open front wheels.
Unfortunately this is what happens when you go fast around corners in a 3 wheeler:
