The concept is interesting anyway...   After-all, the Reliant Robin was
built for many years in the UK.  I drove one once and it scared the bangers
and mash out of me!  Still, they were pretty useful in many parts of the UK
and I guess you still see them from time to time carefully chasing someone
on a bicycle...

The Lyons LM2 Streamliner on the other hand appears to be a magnificent
beast if it does, in fact, go into production as promised.  Should be one
at the NY show this month if anyone is going to that.  I find the body
beautiful and the 1700 hp V8 twin turbo should pin the ears back on the
competition - if there is any....
