      Something more like this, for me...:[​IMG]

      I'd get in it. Not a clue how I would get out of it, but if someone would like to donate one to me, I will gladly crawl out of one of those.

        I agree, I was once told by a road rage idiot that I drive the smallest car in the world so I should give way. Rshole.
        My focus is a bit low, and I need to get the door wide open to get in and out with my knee problems, but someone always parks their tank next to me so I cant get back in.
        Nice car, but looks a bit bouncy to me, I bet it sounds nice though.

          I'd buy a shoe horn, to get in, and not worry how I'd be getting out.

            Yeah, I caved in and bought a tank - the all round view is massively improved to be fair and I do get in and out of it so much easier.

                The car is dead, its gone the way of just another piece of history.
                Dont care what it looks like just gets you from A to B.

                I did notice that when looking at the spec for the Ford Donkey that it has a really good 15in touch screen, how the hell does that fit in with the law, when you cant even touch your phone.:scratch:

                    Something over 60 years ago a friend of mine bought one of these. He let me drive it on the Ford track at Slough and it frightened the life out of me and I didn't take it over 150mph :yikes:. Can't quite remember what speed I did get it up to.

                        I think it must have been a 10,000 volt version! Apparently the top speed for the road car was electronically limited to 155mph whereas the racing version could do 212mph. :hate-shocked:

                          Until you get to 70 and then it starts to increase again.
