When I was driving down to Santa Barbara last year, I was cruising along at 90mph in the rental Charger RT when a Prius Prime went flying past! He was doing about 100mph because I decided to follow him as I figured If there where cops about, they’d nab him as he was in front.
This costs nothing to run and can actually haul a surprising amount of stuff around, its relatively stock apart from an upgraded drivers seat and stereo. I'll put a large bike engine into it one day, purely because taking off from the lights on the back wheels would be worth the hassle. Until then it's a good little "sensible" vehicle.
A lot of nice rides around here, very impressive. This is my mid-life crisis snake in the driveway. Last year with 3 pedals, gotta have a stick! integrated with Alexa and Alexa to Hubitat so it's a Hubitat-in-law.
Yup. '92 plate, Reliant Robin MK.II. One of the last to come off the Tamworth production line before it got sold out.
For all the bad press they get I've found them to be great little cars, simple to fix and pretty reliable for the most part. Not to mention it'll make even the most diehard petrol snob grin like a child when they actually drive it. They're harder to roll than you might think with the standard engine, all the weight is in the ladder chassis (fiberglass body) so it feels like a slightly odd go cart and doesn't really have the power to tip it over unless you're exceptionally stupid.
I'm certainly not a "petrol-head". We got our first BEV in 2014, went fully electric in 2018 and just recently we've crossed 100,000 electric-powered miles. My wife likes red; that's hers on the left.
LOL!!! When my wife wanted a swimming pool at our new house I told her no - too expensive.
She then proceeded to add up what I've spent on cars over the last 20 years (although it isn't fair to just add up the purchase cost, as I did sell a number of them and recouped some value....).
Yada yada yada. We have now had a pool for 2.5 years.
Ya thats nothing. Here is.one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. Trip to lake superior . He got too close to.mouth of river . They all bailed. Sadly it never ran right after that.
Not just a three-wheeler, but also the holder of the official record for the largest non-commercial rocket ever launched from Europe! Didn't get quite as far as Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster on the first Falcon Heavy...but they did launch the Reliant Robin first.....
Ooh, that stinks. Yeah, my Jeep never stalled, fortunately, so I pulled it out and kept going. Just had to pull out the carpets and hose it out when I got home.
