    Welcome to the forum.

    As stated earlier in this thread the T Rex is more of a modified motorcycle than an actual 3 wheeled car. They are quick though, if possible take pictures and post in the "Users Rides" section.

    I guess a car can be so uncool that it would achieve a cult like following and through that it would achieve coolness ... if thats the case maybe there is even hope for me ...lol

    The Peel is ridiculous. I laughed at its pathetic size in a museum.

    I see these pics and I can't help but wonder what the designers and manufacturers were thinking/smoking at the time.

    I'll start of with the Reliant Robin, which I believe had a production run of over 25 yrs ....can't understand that for the life of me .....
    Well, That's pretty obvious!!!

    The Peel is the smallest car ever, and the only car built on the Isle of Man.
    The reason why the Robin lasted so long was that it could be driven with a motorcycle licence (in Britain, easier to get than a car licence). When they made a 4-wheel version (the Kitten), it flopped.
    And for 3-wheelers, how about this. an 1885 Benz, the first car ever built. Don't knock 3-wheelers, they were here first.

    Grinnals are net too.
    Keep an eye open for a new one.
    He was on the BMW stand at the Autpsort show and had 3 guys measuring the new BMW sportsbike engine and transmission.
    THAT will make for an even faster Scorpion
