Morning coffee

[RICH MUISE]

That's the one I was thinking of..laughed my butt off watching Jeremy's episode with that car.

So was the Reliant the micro car they loaded into the elevator and drove thru the Top Gear office?

No, that was basically a modified electric wheelchair.  The Reliant's were roughly the same size as an "original" English Mini (not the new BMW derived one).  Got to be careful what I say as it might give the impression I'm into cars that have a wheel missing!

Found myself wasting a lot of time on 3wheelers.com thanks to these posts. Have to say though been in love with Morgan trikes for over 40 years, would gladly drive one anytime. Wouldn't you Gary?

I'd love to have a drive in a genuine Morgan trike, but wouldn't own one, I'd feel a bit vulnerable mixing with the trucks on the freeway!  There was one built in the 60's (a Bond I think) where the engine was mounted to the front heel  reverse was obtained by turning the steering wheel until the front wheel was 180 degrees round.

guess what I found searching through my long list of favorites for something else....Jeremy's episode with the Reliant Robin. It runs a half hour or so, but funnier then heck.
OOppps....it's been deleted by Youtube because of copywrite infringement. Well, that's one I can take off my favorites list.

Heres a few V8 ones (seriously!):

The first runs a Rover 3.5 litre (this is the old Buick 215ci V8 that Rover bought from Buick in the 60's)

The second is the 4 wheeled version of the Reliant Robin

Coffee in Germany this morning, heading the right way atleast! I should have a new Detroit locker waiting for me at the house, and some chirstmas presents which are about 95% tools to help me get moving on the body stuff.

Hadn't heard from you, I figured you were in some distant country. I was laying in bed at 10:30 last night , my son calls, he went off the road in the snow, down an embankment and up against a tree. He's ok, car is good. I picked up 4 like new tires mounted on Taurus wheels for $200 on craigslist, better get them on this weekend. The flatbed driver said heck yeah I take cash, I gave him $80 I had in my wallet, all good.     Mark

This was my second day in Texas, beautiful state! Not as warm as I thought it would be in San Antonio, but warmer than Vermont! My boy looks great, and today he officially became an Airman in the USAF! I'm so proud of my son!

Congratulations to your son and you. Glad you got to visit him. 

[RICH MUISE]

I keep saying Texas is a dificult climate, LOL. Glad your enjoying your trip and got to see your boy.

[57 Ford Kustom]

Thank you all, now that the shock is over I will be hitting the town to check out the sites (car watching) lol! My Dad was right, these fly boys have some fast cars! Mustangs, and chargers dominate the base, very few X brand.

Congrats and Kudos to your son Kustom. I did the same (became an airman) July of 1983 and was the best decision I ever made (next to marrying the wife ) What does he plan to do in the Airforce?
