    first, a powertrike[1], with luck; due next week.

    and then, the week after... a motability contract Picasso. it was a
    accident. i went in to get a small, sensible car with more economy and
    less risk of speeding fines. the small etcs didn't fit Chariot. plus...
    the specs for the Polo 1.2 say 0-62 in 17.5 seconds. SEVENTEEN POINT
    FIVE SECONDS!! what do you do at roundabouts? get out and push, or run
    like Fred Flintstone?

    Who's taking bets on whether I Champ or I can get it to wheelie?

    The answer being neither of you. Well, not under power, anyway. [1]

    You probably could if you could put enough power through your arms into
    the rear wheels.

    [1] The powered wheel is the front one.

    It's front wheel drive, so I'd be very worried if either of you
    managed it.

    I used to be able to wheelie my first 1380 Mini in reverse, with two
    mates hanging off the front nudge bar. I also spent a couple of months
    in a wheelchair after my big crash, so I naturally learned how to
    wheelie one to a pretty high standard.

    Prace bets now.

    "16 mph (26kph) max legal speed limit"

    That looks a like a challenge to be risen to if ever I saw one.

    North Wales would be an appropriate testing ground I reckon.

    i think so... it's coming with a replacement Chariot, slightly bigger
    than the current one which has a top limit, according to the FM, of 12st
    load, and got a bit Caned a couple of years ago.
