Few pics of the death trap. I went out to drive it to Howden, four miles. Got to the next village one mile turned round and came home, it scared me to death. Never mind, somebody will love it!

Boy hood dream shattered then? I've driven a Robin Reliant and it felt unsafe even tho the wheel base is longer...

These bugs are supposed to be more stable than the robins because they are lower and the wheelbase is shorter ( I.e. the triangle shape is effectively a wider ratio between the rear wheels) but this just feels too small for me, very claustrophobic even with the doors off. It's quick too because it weighs nothing and its got 850cc of upgraded throbbin' robin engine. Plus the throttle cable stuck wide open. That's what really shit me up!

Use it for a wedge to stop your caravan for rolling away...

Sold!! The death trap is going. I just sold it to a guy in France, deposit paid and everything! Full asking price so I made a good Bunce on it. Actually the phone has been red hot for it today.
