This three wheeled monstrosity (in my opinion) was manufactured just a few short miles from where I grew up, and any pride ends there. This car was always pretty much the joke of the British car industry it seemed to me-though the Americans amongst us probably don't know of it.

Love it or hate it? I'd love to hear.

Loved those comments Britjojo-it is true it was the but of many jokes, but those who owned them truly loved them. I must say the few rides i took in one frightened me to death!! bit like a roller skate with one wheel missing.      Grin

I can understand the fear-the jokes my friends made focussed on tipping our neighbour's Reliant over. Add to that the reverse being in the wrong place-altogether kind of scary.

At least it can only go fast down hill and out of gear.
