Itsy Bitsy Little car.....
Weird what you find trolling free republic.

An article on this little cutie:



"THIS is not a wind up — a car lover has made the world's tiniest motor from a POSTMAN PAT children's ride.

Perry Watkins has previously entered the record books three times for having the world's lowest car — or Flatmobile as he calls it.

But now he has turned his mechanical talents to making what he claims is the world's SMALLEST car. "

1. Bet he drives that new Jaguar XF a LOT more than that thing.
I still think the Peel P50 is smaller, though and actually worked.

2. My dear NYC_SKP!
Well, I think it looks damned uncomfortable!

Even as a joke...

Clever of him, though!

4. I think it's a bit cramped, yes.
Hey, Peg.

I prefer the shiny silver Jaguar behind him.

3. It definitely is a UK legal vehicle.
Registered to latter part of 2008... paid its road tax (so has also passed emissions and safety test).

Mr. Watkins has had a history of doing wacky vehicles... he built a Dalek (from Dr. Who) that was a street legal vehicle.
