RE: SOTW: Reliant Rialto 'Dodgy Charger'

[crostonian]

They always used to be driven by guys in beige flasher macs with a Jack Russell sat on the passenger seat. Can't beat a '3 pin plug'!

Best shed ever; perfectly encapsulates the spirit and values of SOTW. 10/10.

[samj2014]

Nope, nope nope.

[FER4L]

Yep yep yep - love it!

[Rumblestripe]

What a laugh! Do I want to own it? No. Do I want to drive it? Nope. Do I love it...

Yes, yes I do!

I'd like to make it compulsory for every dick who has ever waxed lyrical over "German Engineering" or "rear wheel drive handling", who drives a silver, black or blue BMW, Audi, VW or Merc to drive it for a week!

THAT little plastic tub of carp is more about the fun and joy of motoring than the endless boredom of BMW E-numbers and Audi spec sheets.

Hurrah and huzzah for the "Dodgy Charger" and those who drive similar oddballs for brightening the days of those few of us with the remnants of childish glee, with our souls still intact.

Hurrah!

Nearly had me on that 2.5s 0-60 time, Shed. Obviously not had my coffee intake for the morning!

So what's the real 0-60?

I don't know much about these things but what I do know is ugly. A university did a study that found a direct relationship between driving a three wheeled car and being a pedophile. Can't say that image bothers me much with cars; I once owned a yellow Seicento. However, driving once of these is a step too far.

Is that in the same way that pirates are responsible for global warming?

About 16 seconds.

The reduction of the number of pirates causes global warming, not the pirates themselves.
