At 33.5 HP and a curb weight of 1400 lbs, I think maybe a nice imaginary teardrop would be the most practical :lol:

It is a Chinese made Snyder and has a motorcycle registration, note the center light is the headlight. I wonder if this has the same problem as the Robin Reliant (tips over easily ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wa5NDO6knY

That's one of my fave topgear moments!

Same here or 'Plastic Pig' as they are known

My neighbour used to have one, his son one drunken night, moved the bricks from the wheels (as they brakes were crap), and it rolled down the bank and smashed into someone elses car.
Likes to think he's Norm from New Yankee Workshop

In reality, hes a average DIY'er with a 18x16ft Wooden shed

Who would want to drive that "death trap" 70 mph? Something tells me a Chinese built car is not safe at any speed.

Perhaps Brazil should begin making them. According to this article they'ed fit right in.
