Nice to see that they have given both a fairly decent write up!! Unlike the stupid misleading segment in the studio they did last year with the Isetta, suggesting that it didnt have a reverse gear,  driving it right up to a wall and pretending that you couldnt get out!

I have actually been a passenger in both roadworthy felbers known to exist! The owner, Norbert is a great person, with nice cars, he always came to our Pyrenees rally!

I dont remember the weird seating though!

Clarkson is proud of being a slob so he probably would sit sideways on a small seat as there is quite a lot of him. That would leave little room for Hamster and of course May would drive as he is the only one with some appreciation of engineering and thus work out how the Felber works. This ignorance is from the school of AC Cobra. Wanna go fast, put a bigger engine in and boot it. I prefer the Colin Chapman create a lighter car and put a little screamer in it but we do not really have a media entity covering this approach because it requires intelligence and accuracy. Newtons!
