It is m8. Cant get traction thats why such the low times. It just spins through all 6 gears.

I had a tatty red Toyota Carina overtake me (well it was a dual carriageway and I was stuck in the inside lane). The thing was that this Carina was fitted with a Scooby bonnet scoop and the driver gave me a satisfied nod as if to say "Hey we both have cool cars!"

Ah yes...

the good old reliant kitten



every petrol head (regardless of how much petrol) always likes the challenge of modifying stuff. er...oh well here goes.



there is one of these puppies that will mulla ANY uk scooby over a 1/4 mile....maybe something to do with the cossie turbo lump it has in the front.

There is also a Bond Bug (about 10 years before the Kitten and Robins we all love to hate LOL - Reliant produced a car known as the regal back then - a la Delboy Van) with a tuned Yamaha R1 engine in the back.

Front Engined and Rear wheel is said to be the best chassis compromise the handling - what were they thinking when they decided to leave a wheel out of the recipe ????

3 wheeler drifting championship anyone ??? now that would be laugh.

believe it or not, reliants drift really nicely with the revvy little 750, and skinny rear tyres, even on dry tarmac.

Just don't try a handbrake turn, all the weight pitches topward the outside corner at the front, which should have a wheel but doesn't

My brother tried it in my old razz about Robin van. Managed to get the inside back wheel 3 feet in the air, and dig the front chassis rail 2 inches into the tarmac.

Had just come off the North circ on the way upto the A1, some friends and I were in my Cosworth (in the middle lane not really going for it) when we heard this scream in the fast lane. It was a Tippon.....yes, one of those tourquoise three wheeled invalid carriages. Came passed us at about 70....We didnt stop laughing for about 1/2 hr.

I was out testdriving a vehicle i borrowed from my fathers dealership and pulled up along side an audi RS4 demonstrator. The guy driving looked across and must have thought all his dreams had come true as i sat there revving the engine....that was until the lights changed and i pulled three car lengths on him upto 90mph!

He was really really embarrassed!



Oh did i forget to mention..... i was on a scooter!
A Gilera 180 to be exact......a bit tuned too, not too much tho.

Was on the M62 today in a Focus hire car doing about 85 when I notice a growing dot in the mirror. Eventually I recognised it as a Citroen AX of early 90's vintage. Driver eventually flashed me to move over and as I did, it went past and I could hear it over the engine noise AND radio of the Focus. I almost drove off the road when I saw the driver was a late 50's old dear complete with headscarf. Hilarious!
