There were a series of races in the UK when I lived there featuring this
fine car:

I had plans to part out and ship to the USA one of these and a mini ..
never got it together to do it. Also my friend in fedex quit her job :(
so no more air freight for cost :(

Haven't seen a 3 wheeled car in ages. They never were that popular.

Yes. In pictures, not real life. I don't expect it to be a big success.

Price of petrol will rocket when the recession ends. Assuming it does
thatis.
Anyway, this is not the issue. The point is that oil is too valuable
to just burn.
Also, threewheeled cars can inherently be made to outperform four
wheeled cars.
