Intresting tilting trike
« on: September 16, 2009, 11:37:47 pm »
 Ok, so the engine used isn't quite "micro", but still very intresting nonetheless. How about roadtesting this Chris, or even how about you buying it!!!!   ;D

 :D It is a strange contraption with a large engine.  My first look at it I really couldn't tell if coming or going.  I feel that if the rear was the front, then it would look just like a wild peccary.    ;D

A wild peccary! Frank Zappa wrote a song called Gregory Peccary.
That is definitely unusual! Grotesque, bizarre, outrageous, almost Gothic in its monstrosity, but it looks look well built and interesting. Probably a lot of fun on the road too. Hope it finds a good home

Dear Stuart

The last time this car came up for sale about three or four years ago I did consider approaching the owner but diid not do so because it had a 1400 cc engine and I was told that it was a beast to handle as at that time it did not have the computer controlled tilt system.

The tilting vehicle I did road test was great fun but not a vehicle I could live with (not economical enough)

I think you will like the next Road test report in the next edition of Rumcar News. ( it does not lean over)
