Ha,that's very well done. Reminds me of the old Ford Prefects,or the cars used by ZZ Top album pics.

Is every three wheeler now going to be a "Something-something Nikken" even when it's clearly nothing like one?

I actually like the trikes ( i have asked nursey to up my dose).
It's ok, I can't afford any of them...an the LE wouldn't cope with the extra weight.
My first car was a '53 frod angular...not dissimilar to the perfect in the pic above. Cost 9 of your engrish pounds.

Likewise, looks to be great fun. Reminds me the karts kids used to build out of Silver Cross prams.
