That’s just a silly thing to kill owners

Bet heaps of millionaires wife’s get them for their aging husbands Christmas to remove them from the equation...

One thought occurred to me - how did he manage to get that approved and registered, when French locost builders can't get their cars legal for love nor money?

£172k - a tad expensive; I'd rather spend it on Murcielano (or whatever it is called).

I kind of like the simplicity of it - Basically an engine bolted directly to some wheels.
However, did you notice that in the video, he never gave it any beans? He just revved it a bit.
I suspect it's because if he did, he would have been catapuled into the nearest tree. I doubt it has much traction or stability at speed?

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