What the hell is it

Spotted this hideous Mr bean’s modern nemesis car on quadra today

Interesting. Looked into it and appears to be an electric car made in Vancouver.

The company: Solo - Electra Meccanica

100 mile range and 80mph tops speed apparently. 1700lb and 0-60mph in 8-10 seconds.

What we should all be driving really. I'm not sold on 3 wheels tho. Reminds me of a old Top Gear show. Although having the odd wheel in the back is probably a lot better....hahaha!

You get to see all the interesting things around town, people included...

I half wondered if it was a body kit for one of those polaris spyders...

I remember seeing lots of those robins in england many moons ago.

Think I had an uncle who owned one or something. He probably rolled it...they were sketchy as ****.

Wow, old memories! I spent my 38th birthday at that motel, drinking with a bunch of HA bikers
and assorted crew of rednecks. All them old 50’s cars parked all around. That red thing wasn’t there
I don’t think...

Just seen this downtown. What a truck to drive around and pick up donations in!

 

[cruiserpilot]

Rip that box off the back and add a camper!

Well, under what the hell is it - a full size Audi SUV with 285/70R20 Good Year Wrangler AT tires.
I guess really wants to burn up the dirt road to his cabin? Looks weirdly knarly, of course lugnut chrome spikes.

If I had 150,000$ to blow I might test drive one

Could buy a few 60’s even at today’s pricing for what that’s worth

Did some thread clean-up here. Lets keep it respectful please.

Are you referring to my posts ? As I said, Bad advice is bad advice. Anyone who suggests trading a landcruiser for anything landrover, is perhaps unaware of the mechanical ineptitude of the engineers at landrover. Or maybe they just are unaware of the lack of design for longevity that almost all other automakers have compared to toyota landcruisers. I was under the impression that this was a Pro-landcruiser site. I've had this conversation before about what is appropriate to post on here. If those posts I make only last for one new guy to read, I have succeeded in my quest to provide better information to those who might listen when others constantly blabber about things they either know nothing about or haven't learned yet.

Was that respectful enough ?

I just do my best to keep the peace. A number of us here are very opinionated fellas, and this discussion was starting to spiral out of control. You guys could take it to the Private Message area if you want to argue your case, but lets try to keep the public forum positive. And yes, your message above was respectful; thanks.

I don’t know whether to applaud or ask for my bike back.

First time I saw one of these I thought it was pure genius:
