Let's Talk Cyclecars

When I see stuff like the Amilcar I'm reminded of Steve Martins line from the movie The Jerk, about how to be a millionaire "First get a million dollars"

 

Great photo. Imagine finding that in an old barn!!

 

Good to see more 3 wheelers. I finally got my F Super running this week. It drives great. It was raining so I put the old hood on it. Still have to get a new one made.

 

That would be so much fun!!

 

Nice car.....on the other hand Dennis Gage could relax just a little bit when he interviews people.

 

He is a bit hyper but did you ever see the Woodwright Shop on PBS TV? I am amazed he still has all his fingers.

 

The woodwright has a special red stain he uses on most of his projects.

Great photo using the sliding shutter camera. I like the effect.

 

WISH ALL OF YOU A GOOD JUMP TO THE NEXT YEAR

 

Best wishes to you too Rolf!

 

well, trialing is a lot like motocross. What is happening here is the front came off of the ground by hitting a rise or the back being "bounced" by the human traction aids trying to gain extra traction. as per your earlier comment about HUDSONs ...Austin sevens aren't really considered cyclecars although they are diminutive.

 

Right an Hudson is not a cyclecar. When I post these sort of vehicles, I do so as inspiration. i think if we scale down the speedster's proportions it could be built as a cyclecar ....you know kinda like a WING.

 

Bob , you have once again given us another great year of inspiration,Thanks for all the hard work.

 

Thanks Rod ! Hard work? Stealing from one website or another and transferring it here is a pleasure.
