By the scuff mark near the mirror I assume it does not work.

Nah - I know the one your on about though - it only had 2 wheels and was Swiss IIRC (can't recall the name of them)
If its the one that Clarkson had a go in one on Top Gear?

Being it only has 2 wheels and an enclosed cockpit it required the stabilizers - the Carver is a conventional trike layout - unconventional as it counter leans - but 3 wheeled for sure and seems pretty damned stable for a non-reverse trike

Rob

That is Pardon at Prescott, you can take it fast on three wheels but two up front and one at the rear (Morgan).

Edit. Pardon needs sweeping, were the marshals sleeping in their hut?

I think so Wali.

Here is another 3 wheeler giving it some beans on the same corner -

Much much better.
And that is where my 30k would go.

That is the Oekmobile, now rebranded Monotracer.

I have a vague recollection of something similar to the Monotracer in the 1970/80s but can't find anything on the internets, but maybe I'm thinking of the Quasar.

However I did find this.

Also, I learnt a new word; dalnik.

Actually look pretty good, reminds me of a three wheeled smart car wonder what the insurance would be on it, may be good for shopping runs/work in suits.

Hi

Spotted this on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbdkZB9-Sd4&feature=relmfu

Clarkson reviewing and being taken for a spin in an Oekmobile (quite a while ago looking at his hair)

All the best

yeah looks a bit abortive to me. I do like the 2 wheeler with stabilisers in that youtube clip though.

What's the deal with Copart membership though? I find myself wanting to buy stuff from their quite often! anyone up for sharing a membership between a few people to make it cheaper? I'll probably only ever buy one or two bikes from them to be honest.

Are there any other catches or snags/bastardry on their part or is it a reasonably straight forward thing once they've got their £50?

I saw one of these coming at me in a corner a couple of weeks ago.

Fucking shat myself because of the way it leans.. looked like it was coming for me!

Looks gay as fuck in my opinion, and I would never buy one, let alone for 55k! What the fuck!

Thumbs Up

He is taking it well, bang on the line and the inside wheel on the edge of lifting.
