mercrocker Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I wasted 2.5 minutes of my life to make sure this wasnt a piss-take. It isnt. He really means it.....
trigger Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Oh dear, still It's nice to see people have a hobby even if the fool does call it a Robin Reliant.
Station Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 As said, fair play to him.I'm not fan of Jeremy Clarkson, but I thought his review of these was hilarious.
Lacquer Peel Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 It's nice to see the mentally subnormal have access to transport now.
oman5 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Well if he likes it, fair enough. Isn't a modified 3 wheeler the very definition of shite? londonm 1
Junkman Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Yes, he does come across slightly fatuitously, but he's done nothing wrong.He genuinely enjoys his heap and his gang and for the rest doesn't give half a fiddlers fart about what the factory warm warranty blanket payment plan slave hipsters think about him and that's all that counts.
Mr Livered Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I thought that was quite a heartwarming video. Sounds like looking after his little Robin gives him a real sense of purpose and a circle of friends too. Great stuff Cheggers, Junkman, 500tops and 2 others 5
New POD Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I was going to say "one man's hobby is another man's mental illness" but in this case, I think he may have either been starved of oxygen at birth, hit on the head hard, or his parents are also his aunt and uncle and their parents are also his grandparents and great aunt and great uncle. Given that the Average intelligence is 100, and the data is probably a normal distribution, then there has to be a proportion of simpletons like this out there. It's sad that he has to bring the West Midlands into disrepute through that Brummy accent, but he is the MOST deluded person I've yet to come across. That said I'm having trouble with finding out why I have no power to the radio in the MX5 and he clearly has wiring skills that I don't have. We must hope that he hasn't used the right size fuses and that the thing burns one day.
Richard Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I don't see a problem with it at all. I'd love to see what he tows with it though.
Des Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I can't tell if that's a not very funny pisstake or for real, although early on he's applying a sticker, I find in the real world that any car with stickers is a 'driven by mong' red flag, from dubbers to estate agents, so I'll mutter twat under my breath to myself, that'll show him.

wackywacerwill Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I think it's great, seeing that would make me smile. That said in my humble opinion he's getting it wrong.My modded Robin would have the engine in the back and a hot tub in the front for my bitches. After chilling at the car meet I'd drain the hot tub and kick out my hoes in the carpark before wheel standing up the high street like a boss. Junkman, The Moog and Mr Lobster 3
chaseracer Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ...I find in the real world that any car with stickers is a 'driven by mong' red flag... Ooops... richardmorris and Des 2

Justin Case Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 The lad seems to follow in the long tradition of English eccentrics, which we are all part of (other nationalities are also available for far-flung shiters of course ) He and his mates seem to enjoying life, I would rather spend my birthday blowing out candles with them in the most depressing of car parks rather than in a golf club with a bunch of merchant bankers rabbiting on about how low the company car tax on their Audi eco-shit is. Junkman, londonm, minolman and 2 others 5
derskine Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 The only reason he has a robin is because he doesn't have a driving license though, otherwise I expect he would have a chavved out cr0sa

Des Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Ooops... You've missed a bit, and rear screen is unobscured, 6/10 must try harder. chaseracer and Junkman 2
londonm Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 The only reason he has a robin is because he doesn't have a driving license though, otherwise I expect he would have a chavved out cr0saI agree the reliant is for people without driving licenses, but these things are getting trickier to keep on the road and what he's done is quite wonderful and eccentric. These cars are a slice of our motoring heritage after all. minolman, Justin Case and Junkman 3
New POD Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Have no problem with it really, at least he's not a AUDI driver with all the baggage that comes with it. Maybe I was being harsh.

I have 3 stickers on my Honda. Awesome wallsClimb now Work LaterRetro Cars Magazine I wanted to show I wasn't a 47 year old mong going on 68 years old. But may have to reassess.
eddyramrod Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I do stickers. Whatever that says about me! Recent buyers of my shite will have noticed they come equipped (variously) with "Vannas Car Sales, Paphos;" RBL Poppy Appeal; and more recently, American Auto Club North West. Which reminds me, I really need to order some AS stickers, if that's still possible! minolman 1
