Only the british could make such a shitty car. not even the soviets tried this.

Britbongs explain your selves!

it was because it was cheaper cause its not considered a car
Yeah it exploited a legal loophole and was technically considered a moped so it could be driven by a 14 year without a license.
good times
>not even the soviets tried this
If you attached 2 training wheels to the front side would it still be considered a moped?
>brittish design
>trying to appeal to your culture
I can see the similarities.
Well there you go
wheres your license for a fourth wheel
>Thing built specifically for a legal loophole in UK law and makes no sense otherwise.
>Commies copied it anyway.
No wonder it crashed it burned
NO INCOME TAX
NO VAT
Here, i ve put them together for you.
You understand now?
NO MONEY BACK
NO GUARANTEE
British death traps truly capture the soul of the isles, hoping for a swift death every day
No Black or Wh-
Wait a minute....
It's not a car; it's a motorbike in a crunchy fibreglass shell.
A lot of people owned these, it wasn't because they were good. It was because they had an engine, a boot, a roof and were more reliable than the buses. Some call the Mini or the Beetle a people's car, this is the poor people's car, so poor that they were desperate enough for transport to leave out the 4th wheel. The Reliant opened up spontaneous long distance travel to the masses, made self-employment a far more realistic option for many and did it all as cheaply as possible. My grandparents have fond memories of their Reliant Regal and with good reason, it gave them a sense of freedom that their parents had never had the opportunity to attain.
Also, at least the Reliant three wheeler didn't have a waiting list measured in years, take that Soviet Russia.
I guess in hinesight the fiberglass frame and lack of a 4th wheel whould give the reliant extremely good fuel economy.
I don’t think that upside is really anygood considering how dangerous it is.
They can still be driven on a bike license, my mate used to have one
cool
Bear in mind this was the 60s, cars struggled to reach 70mph never mind 150mph, and the great thing about these deathtraps being incredibly popular is that you were a lot more likely to crash into another Reliant than you were anything else on the road.
Thankfully the buses were even slower than the three wheelers, nice and easy to avoid.
Not considered a car, same concept as the niggers who ride motorized bicycles. DUI mobiles.
* blocks your path *
Don't forget the russians decided basic biology was wrong and nearly starved themselves with all the crops they wrecked. Such intelligent people.
>mfw the “You got a loicence for that?” meme forced the brits to spawn this abomination.
Three wheeled cars are coming back but they’re putting the single wheel in the back now. The one in your pic just looks like it’s going to tip over and is an unstable design.
eliomotors.com
They weren’t allowed on the motorway
America has similar these days. Technically an ATV but street legal
It looks like something Apu would drive.
Oi m8, you paid your wheel loicense fees?
Right cheerios bloody hell good sir, it only has three wheels.
Oi, move along. There's nothing to see here.
>tfw you don't see them around anymore
underrated
>internet explorer
LEAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
She'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.
i love watching mr. bean where they always flip those boats.
>bike license
..
Get it!
Didn’t it just crash every time you turned? Did no one try to drive it?
kek
as in motorbike you dumb amerimutt
Those teeth are quintessentially British.
i would drive that at least once just to be a hipster jackass in public
that is fucking awesome
Hehe god i laughed every time i saw him make that 3-wheeled fucker fall over. Mr Bean was a good character
She had an accident as a child you ignorant septic
>she had an accident
Yeah; its called being born british.
you'd probably need a different loicence
oof
Those are cool as fuck. I see boomers driving them in the mountains during the summer.
Yeah, remember it was always old people couples, proper old people not boomers in them? Damn, miss them days.
>Put it in "haych"
I'm originally from England and I'm old enough to remember people still driving them, very exciting stuff as a kid
That scam-mobile has been around for over a decade, leaf.
>not even the soviets tried this
yeah, but they made pic related shit car
That’s medical
Also you mutt you’ve got clarity teeth, we have the nicest teeth. Check google. Your dental inequality sees people die of toothache while we are world #1.
It’s because the dentists are free here if you can’t afford them.
You get cucked and have to get 4 jobs and work 26 hours a day to afford your insulin fatty so how are you going to survive when your clampet teeth fall out from eating sugared chicken burgers handed to you by Walmart greeters
Huemonkey bringing the bants.
Fk me I sound like Peter Kay now but does anyone remember the Lada's with the engine in the boot (trunk)? Now they were truly bad cars.
Get it!
You have to go back
*Clatty
Clatty is a word. It means Clatty.
Wait. Apu drives a Firebird
I plan to, my work sent me here
Come at me bro'.
>car
I'm gonna stop you right there.
Trying to come up with a single tooth retort and you beat me to it. Well played.
Oh Hell No!
>t. pattie
This country is for Anglo Saxon men.
Best episode EVAR!
fun fact: these little buggers could go as fast in reverse as they could in forward.
'reverse' wasnt a gear in the transmission. you effectively flipped the whole transmission
It was a great episode of top gear though
>Yeah it exploited a legal loophole and was technically considered a moped so it could be driven by a 14 year without a license.
>build a 3 wheeled car to get through a very specific loophole in the british legal system
>create a historical novelty
The Anglo is superior to all other species of man.
> People seriously talking shit about The Robin.
It's a shame the British Car Industry died as it did. No other nation has a sense of humour when it comes to engineering.
Which one was it?
I always liked "BRITISH IT"
Why not just put the third wheel in the back? Would avoid the tipping issue. I like it though. Like a smaller, simpler Geo metro. Sometimes a to b is a to b.
>as a child
>being born
Being born isn't something that happens when you're going about your business as a child, monkey.

This is the Chad edition.
uma delicia, British people are queueing up to work in Brazil delivering sopa de macaco on mopeds to favelas
Why are boomers so obsessed with these?
Peak British design.
Mutts are seething because they are only capable of slapping 7 litre V8s into barges with wheels and cannot compete with peak British automotive aesthetics.
Your cars are the worst in the world, at least the blyats made them easy to repair. Nothing good comes out of your country. You made some nice steam engines 150 years ago but youve long since lost your engineering and craftsmenship skills
>the worst in the world
By what metric? Last time I checked there isn't a single American SUV that looks anywhere near as good as a Range Rover Velar for example.
well, incest often leads to strange end products
I'm actually importing a Robin
It got worse.
here's the full vid
Based car, can be repaired with a tin can and a duct tape and drive you from Krasnodar to Magadan on used frying oil.
Strikes a nerve
>it gave them a sense of freedom that their parents had never had the opportunity to attain.
Meanwhile this was widely available in America. Revolution was the greatest idea in human history
Have a you. I chuckled
Imagine if that Escalade failed to stop at a red light. Fucking owned.
My dad is German and I remember these when I was visiting as a kid in the early 90s.
The East Germans used them. And they had motorbike engines which had the most annoying idle noise.
They stole some dude's multitool.
Fucking cops man.
