Nice story especially for Mr. Been!
Saw a few days ago on CNN an advertisement with a dark MGB, wherein a dog
was jumping in.
Nice with ww wheels.

Cheers,

Hans

Three-Wheeler Driver in High-Speed Police Chase

LONDON (Reuters) - The driver of a classic British three-wheeled car faces 
charges of dangerous driving after leading police in western England on a 
35-minute high-speed chase involving a helicopter.

Two police cars were also involved in the pursuit of the 28-year-old theft 
suspect who cranked the infamously unstable Reliant Robin up to 90 miles 
per hour, police said on Tuesday.

"It's not the sort of thing you see every day,'' Wiltshire police spokesman 
David Taylor told Reuters. He said the officers involved in the chase 
Saturday were astounded.

"We reckon he reached a speed of up to 90 mph on the straight,'' he said.

He said the chase began when officers responding to a robbery report from a 
local fast food restaurant spotted the suspect leaving the scene in the 
25-year-old vehicle -- itself reported stolen a week earlier -- and set off 
in pursuit.

The chase ended in a town in the neighboring county of Dorset where the 
suspect abandoned the car and was arrested as he tried to escape on foot.
