Worst Car Design Ever.

[Aharami]

one of the best bits in Top Gear. Glad it is getting more views. First time I saw it, it was playing on my netbook while on a 10 hour flight to Hawaii. I laughed so loud that I woke up half the people there

lol, I spit out my soda when he came to the Reliant enthusiasts meeting.

BTW, did anyone else have the video cut out after the cricket scene?

 

[maziwanka]

These were all over England in the 1970's, including some swoopier, more futuristic and cool looking versions.

Edit: Ok, here it is, the Bond Bug.

Two things Britain didn't get right - cars, and freedom.

[JulesMaximus]

With only a couple of exceptions, British cars have always been crap. (and those exceptions are usually very maintenance intensive)
