What's wrong with you Brits????

Can't decide between two or four wheels, why not split the middle.

Now this I would like to see:

Hey Quag you sure found a good one there. You guys over the water don't know what racing on a budget is................. Another fine series is the Citroen 2CV series (see if you can find that on you tube). We also have caravan (trailer) racing and the big daddy is semi truck racing. Boy can those guys lay some black lines.
You need to get over here to appreciate these fine things!!!! OH, and warm beer mmmmmm.
Roy.

warm beer

DAGAD, I thought the reason you Britts drank warm beer is because Lucas makes refrigerator too.

Reliant Racing.

Great video.
My dad had a Reliant Robin a few years ago.When you're inside them you forget about the single front wheel until you go round corners,then you have to lean.A bit like being in a sidecar.
You can drive them with a full UK motorcycle license even though they're like a car with 4 gears plus reverse.
Very light and nippy with a fibreglass body.
850cc,4cyl,40bhp,85mph,60mpg,0-60 in 18 seconds.
A few of the engines end up in trikes.

Well Quag, I can now answer your question, "hey, what's this oil on the floor?"

IT'S 20,000 TONNES OF CRUDE FROM THE SHIP THAT THE FRONT FELL OFF.................

Now why does that remind me of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves?
Nothing like British humor on a British bike site.
Thanks again,Quagmire.

I for one learned two things from that video, apparently you can't make oil tankers out of cardboard material and it's a one in a million chance that a wave will hit a ship at sea. Who'd a thought.

By the way Kadutz, I got that from a friend of mine, but yes, your right, I do have way too much time on my hands.
