So Scootz.

Are you all better now ?

(See top gear for details.)

Not saying.

Watch it, then come back and tell me what you think.
Do remember though, it's top gear and not to be taken too seriously.

Suffice to say that they repeatedly made a 3 wheeled vehicle do stuff at low speed which a 4 wheeled vehicle would struggle to do unless you made it do it.

They are saying that three wheelers turn over all the time , and proving it by repeatedly rolling a reliant................
What a load of rubbish.............not sure why I bothered watching

TG... ??? Talking bollox... ??? Surely not!!!

Reverse-trikes rock (but not like that) and you all know it!

Picked up an engine for it... LINKY

But it is top gear.

A comedy show about cars ?

I thought it was great and I'm sure Scootz knows I'm just pulling his leg.

It was so absurd, I could almost believe that the writers of Viz wrote that sketch.

I like those engines.

So do I... wasn't sure about it for my application, but what the hell - it's only a couple of years old, has plenty of power, sensible rev limit, and a dry-sump.

But crucially... it was cheap!

We like cheap.
Cheap is good.

I think you'll find that the reliant does have a tendancy, to roll
