I think I'm in love.

I can't believe it passed the SVA! Still I want to build something like that but not quite the same. (Next time I have ten grand or so spare)

if I bought it, I would have the find a leather flying helmet, a pair of biggles goggles, and a white silk scarf for on the motorway.

I had one of those moments a few days ago.

Ended up buying it (a guitar!)

I know there were plans to change it, but threewheeled vehicles below a certain weight, and bikes didn't have to be SVA, it was only if they were over a certain weight that 3 wheelers needed approval.

Don't know if the changes have gone through yet.

(Bit off topic) Your posting from NTLs server aren't you, you silly person you. ;) That's why all your posts magically add an hour to there posting time if you hadn't noticed. (How hard is it for them to set there news servers up properly?) The Good news is the problem only lasts through BST.

Yeah - I'm just waiting for them to fix it. No point in faffing about getting another account with another news provider when it's well known why our posts are in the future ;)

Or it could be that I *am* from the future.

Poser.

Why did you buy it a guitar? Can't see how a car is going use a guitar. Still a musical car is better than one of those disobedient and demanding dogs that Renault makes.

Odd the thing is cack hand drive, it will make getting good vision for overtaking a bit harder. It also seems to be a cyclops - one headlamp.

What amuses me is the Yes/No section for various features:

Electric windows: No Electric mirrors: No Central Locking: No Air Conditioning: No Sunroof: No CD player: No Radio: No Tape Player: No Alloy wheels: No Anti-lock brakes: No

No electric mirrors, central locking, air-con,sunroof (!!) etc, but apparently no alloy wheels :-)

Ah, that'll be the problem with my postings being in the future then. Why did everyone get me to f*ck with my settings?

Peter

In that case, buy a sports almanac, scan it in double quick and email it to me. I think we're onto something here.

Hold on, s*it, I'm from the future as well.

No, get yourself a proper 3-wheeler. A Grinnall Scorpion.

No no no........what 'We' silly little sportscar drivers prefer is a full face lid and no windscreen. This pic was with windscreen right enough

Nah, when you are driving something as silly as a truly midengined bike powered inverse trike, a biggles helmet and other eccentric accessories are more suited, and almost compulsory.

I did that nearly a year ago.

Lovely bit of kit, but still can't play the bastard thing :(

Because it's a good laugh?

You are Marty McFly, and I claim my five free flux capacitors.

Inverse trike. It's all the others that are the wrong way round. That Trike is the way round that God and nature intended. It's the same way round as the greatest 3 wheelers ever made. In 1990 a 1920's Morgan trike with Jap engine went round a race track just 0.1sec per lap slower than the works 600bhp Ford RS500 that won that years BTCC. If the Morgan had left the passenger behind it would go faster.
