in london this morning i saw some twunt in a pinstripe suit trying to fasten himself into one of those BMW bike/moped arse mobiles with a roof. Like this only he was even more of the city gent so looked like the boss of all d  heads  also it was raining so he was trying to fasten this weird plastic skirt thing over his legs so it looked like he was only a torso.

No wonder they never really caught on.

what are those C1 things even for? Protection from end-to-end rollovers? If you fall sideways you risk getting decapitated surely...

If they'd seen that they would have laughed and said "Can it" i suppose it does offer some protection from being clothes-lined by the style police

IIRC the idea was a motorbike you could ride without titting about with a helmet.
In this country they made you wear one so it never took off. In Germany I 'think' you were allowed to ride without so it became a popular city get around.
In this country there was a rebel who kept riding his without a helmet so he would get pulled by the police and go to court. He was trying to go to european court and fight his case but got nowhere IIRC. He made teh news a few times.

You noggin will get blootered on the hardtop. End of. Stupid Germans.

Another Twizy. Do I get bonus points because it's on the former Spanish Grand Prix circuit at Monjuic Park in Barcelona?

Okay, enough with the Twizy's! They're not Supercars and going by how frequently they're posted here, they're not rare either!
