The fuel tank is not a conventional one - the fuel is stored in a "bladder". The trunk is really tiny - He had a pair of sneakers and a soccer ball in it. Don't think it could hold a week's work of groceries, though.
The owner loves it - his company has a fleet of them. I'd be afraid to take it on the highway!
(But it would be fun to use to round up the gang)!
:o)
I think it would make a cool chicken coop.
ReplyDeleteLOL! It WOULD be easy to clean - just open the door and tip it over!
DeleteAmazing. My Honda Fit gets as good or better mileage, has plenty of room, rides better, has a better reliability rating, can make comfortable long trips and sells for less than this silly looking thing.
ReplyDeleteHonda makes good cars and trucks - I would'm want to be on a highway next to an 18 wheeler in that widdle car!

ReplyDeleteBwahahahhaha!
DeleteI keep thinking about how cool it would be to have that engine in a little roadster. Like a mid to late 50's Berkeley.

When I was growing up in the 50's our neighbor had one he set up for racing. Three cylinder transverse mounted two cycle. I was probably about 12 and he would let me hang out in his garage and watch him work on it. I found out later he was a wing walker and parachute jumper with the Inman Bros. Flying Circus in the 30's.
