Three Wheels on My Wagon

From the country that gave the world Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Aston Martin comes the Reliant Robin … 850cc of fiberglass monster machine, capable of a rip-roaring 0-60 in 16 seconds … hold on to your toupee Grandad!

Sadly no longer manufactured, the Robin was the vehicle of choice for … well, nobody actually. I saw one in town yesterday and tried to imagine it tooling around Seattle or flying down the freeway. Nah! It would attract glances but they wouldn’t be admiring ones. You can tell it’s a loser’s car ‘cos they have Reliant Owners Clubs full of men who customize and polish their cars (being careful not to rub through the fiberglass, of course) as if they were about to take their wheels to some vintage car gathering in Monterey. Dream on, guys!
