MK II

Oh bugger I can’t watch it as its quick time and I have had issues with that and my Vista OS. I had to scrap my itunes of this computer for the same reason as it locked the whole thing up.

On a funnier note, my car has just had a full firmware update to it’s ECU software and guess who makes the software? ………………….. yup! Microsoft. Anyone want to take a bit on how long it is before I have a system failure on my new car (it’s only a month and a half old!)

You're missing a treat

That's fantastic

You're missing a treat

Can you just make the noises for me…….I’m listening:)

BRrrrummm..BRRRummmm!!!

That's a 2CV? ****ting death!

That's nothing more than a bathtub! :eek:

That's awesome!

I think the noise is more:

Brrrm.....BrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.....BRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

oh no your wrong, its a bath tub iwth an engine

that looks like great fun and sounds ace

seems to move alright too.

Details on the MkIII:

With a combination of aluminium and composite bodywork it will be an extremely light car and should weigh in the region of 350Kg' date=' and with a number of engine modifications, power will be increased to over 50bhp, this will give a power to weight ratio of 140bhp per ton - so it should be quick off the line. Careful alterations to the gearbox and wheel diameter ratios will also be incorporated, allowing the use of bigger and wider tyres, not only giving better grip than skinny 2CV tyres, but the top speed should be increased to over 100mph!

MkI:

Gradually over the next two years the car came together and once the car was finished the next big challenge had to be overcome, moving the car from it's home in the garden, through a side passage way only three feet wide, and away to a friend's garage. Always thinking ahead he had deliberately designed the car to be only two and a half feet high, so when dismantled he and a few friends were able to tip the car on its side, put it on his old skateboard and wheeled it out!

stick a bike engine in it.

One of the vehicles in his 'fleet' is Miss Piggy :eek:

BRrrrummm..BRRRummmm!!!

That's a 2CV? ****ting death!

That's awesome!

I think the noise is more:

Brrrm.....BrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.....BRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks guys, it was like I was stood there next to the car.

That is awesome. The three wheeled prototype looks the business too.

lol ! Thats brilliant :D

Just about the only reason not to buy a BMW but a pretty compelling one never-the-less!

Back on topic...

Loved the video. Less weight = more fun

I wonder what Euro NCAP would make of it though?

Wandering off-topic again slightly; the drivers head looks exactly like I imagine the back of my head looks like.

He designed the first one before he was old enough to drive and finished it by the time he was about 18.
