  • TOP GEAR goes stratospheric, by turning a Robin into a Space Shuttle !!!

    I still wonder how interesting the experience would be should I puncture the front-wheel !

    The Reliant Robin (often incorrectly referred to as a Robin Reliant) is a small three wheeled car manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England. Being a three-wheeler with an official weight below 453.6 kg (1000 lb), the Robin can be driven by holders of a B1 category licence or car licence in the United Kingdom, and can be registered and taxed at motorcycle rates, which gives considerable savings over a conventional car. The single wheel in the front steers, while the engine (also in the front) drives the rear axle.
