Bug, Bond bug!

October 28th 2008 12:17
The British have always been a little eccentric when it comes to cars. They cant help themselves really, you see the problem used to be that the next village was less than ten miles away and they normally spoke a different dialect!

I digress, the 1970's were a time of sideburns, flared trousers and handlebar moustaches and that was just the women! This was the era into which the Bond Bug arrived.




This three wheeled slab of stilton cheese was perhaps the trendiest thing to own then, but it was one of those cars that everyone wanted, until they drove it!

Powered ( if that is the right word!) by a 700cc four cylinder, it slogged its way to a 75mph top speed, as long as you didnt go round corners! Acceleration was slothful, try 0-100kph in 23 secondzzzzzzzzz.

It only came in one colour, had no doors and a swing up cockpit canopy and it used to fall over on a regular basis. Not roll though just fall over, as if to rest! Think about that for a minute, it rolls and has a canopy, can you yell HELP! really loudly!

It proves once again that the English have a sense of humour!
