It looks like it was 3-wheeled, based on the lack of fender cutouts in the front.

Seeing the picture doesn't clear much up. The hell is that thing (aside from a bad idea)?

Looks like a chinese knockoff Tata Nano to me, or perhaps a vague pass at trying to make a passenger vehicle out of a tuk tuk.

GRM forum could definitely use more pictures of Eastern European hookers.

After enjoying the heck out of my Berk T60 (which I fling about with wild abandon) I imported a Bond Bug (sharing the basic chassis with the Reliant pictured above).

First time I threw it into a curve, I was really excited... seem to hunker right down like a bike... then I realized I was about 0.5 degrees of lean from going all the way over... one of the rear wheels was off the ground well over a foot. I decided to sell the car before the tire touched the ground again....

There's a lifted "monster" Karmann Ghia in a nearby town. I keep meaning to photograph it.

I saw roadkill once that looked like it was an eagle.

3-wheeled vehicle = bad idea

Cool mud truck. A friend of mine just completed his. It's a K20 chassis with a Jeep mail truck body slapped on it.

Well, after reading that, I don't think anyone would disagree that the one pictured at the top of this thread has been MUCH improved.
