What not to do in a Robin

What not to do in a Robin

Yes, yes they're probably Rialtos or Regals but, whatever the name, the Reliant three-wheeler is really only good for driving to the shops, and it's even a bit suspect at that. But here's what you definitely shouldn't do in one.

Go racing. Seriously, people actually banger race a plastic car with three wheels.



Drift it. Fifth Gear discover the tipping point.



Go head to head with a train. Astonishingly, more slapstick than carnage.



Let this idiot out in it. Once you've painted it up like the Starsky and Hutch car and got your mates to film you driving it round a roundabout, there's only one outcome really.



Take it drag racing.You'd think sticking a Rover V8 into a three-wheeler and its four-wheel relative the Kitten would be more disastrous than this turned out to be.

    Please make it easier to comment on a programme by putting a clearly visible link or box somewhere on the main page... I left my comment here as there is no 'obvious' place to leave comments if you are new to the site.

    At 17.14 today (Saturday), the last line of James May's prog about the Moon shot was lost, sorry messed up by the voice of the continuity announcer... who was obviously not watching the programme... The whole idea of Dave TV crashed... as the people who work for you are obviously not even watching! Its the guy who tries hard to be a Geordie who spoiled my afternoon! Let James finish please! Then do the link to... Jame's next prog. Or say absolutely nothing ever and bring up a caption. It did really make me argumental!
