I hope some of you guys over there can answer this one for me.

A while back (during warmer weather) I pulled into a gas station to fill up and I noticed a crowd of men gathered around something laughing. Being inquisitive I went over and found a ‘Strange Three Wheeler’ with British plates on, it was small, two seater, about the size of a Morgan but vey futuristic in style, it had two wheels at the fromt. When I peered into the open top car I saw BMW controls on the dash and Leyland switches etc. When the driver came out from paying his bill i asked his where he brought it and he told me he is having loads of them imported from a Gloucestershire company in England, he then drove off at a very fast speed before I could ask more.

WHAT WAS THIS CAR I SAW :question:

If not checkout the 3wheelers.com website to see if you can identify it.

I saw one of these once at a Bike show, that had a turbo charged Suzuki Hyabusa engine in it…
The Hyabusa is the worlds fastest production motorcycle, so you imagine driving a Car that does 0- 100 in about 4 secs… :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

I want one!!! :laughing: :sunglasses: :laughing:
