After watching Dave for a bit and watching that top gear where they test a load of off road vehicles including the buggy with a blade engine in Drooling

I want to get a small vehicle for myself. Budget is not specified yet but less than say 7k new. I will buy used if I can. Must be road legal and awesome.

Qpods look fun Clicky as tested on top gear.

Road legal buggies of all kinds from under 5k on ebay and such
Clicky

Now I was wondering if there are any more out there. Must have 2 seats though.
I mean, I don't know what to search, most googles just come up with off road legal buggies.

Anyone know of any awesome vehicles like these?

Cheers Karma

What you need is a QPod QT Fun 500:

20bhp from a 505cc Lombardini engine, five speed manual gearbox, disc brakes, double wishbone front suspension, 400kg and 60mpg. Does the legal limit, just. One for sale here at just over £3k. Brand new I think they're £7-8k.

Made by French company Secma and distributed though the same companies that sell QPods. Secma do one called the F16 which looks more agressive too, and makes 105bhp so must go like a bomb:

Or, just get a second hand Smart Roadster and sacrifice the ability to go off-road a little...

Off roading is one of the point that make it awesome you see.

3k isn't bad either. Im gonna go look for that 105bhp one.

When I become rich and famous, I may get one and drop a litre engine in off a blade or similar, see what happens Laughing

Ah, scratch the smart idea then. That QT fun is apparently okay off-road, though obviously not on really rough stuff - more just sand, dirt tracks etc.

What you'd like actually is this site:

https://www.qdoscars.co.uk/index.html

They sell all sorts of small fun vehicles, kit cars, buggies, electric things etc. If I had any spare cash I'd have either the Zest or the E-trike from that site Cool

Pretty sure they can be road legal too. There's various similar things you can buy in kit form, also.

G, thats the one with the fireblade engine in it. Awesome but 12k is bit expensive and im sure insuarance would probably provide free vaseline with the amount I will have to pay.

Chris, I said 4 wheels and cheap. They are 3 and expensive. Also 2 smoke. Although they are awesome. Would prefer 2 seats aswell.
