...saw one today. As I looked at its ridiculous lines and chortled at its general demeanor, I wondered something to myself. Could it be one of those cars that is SO bad that it's actually quite cool? Bit like the old Trabants from Eastern Europe - they're so bad that I think they're quite good. Anyone else on my wavelength?

I went out in one a couple of years ago when a mate was looking after it for a mate of his. They are so horrendously bad I really cannot put it in to words. They can never, ever, ever be cool.

That's my point. They're so horrendously bad that they go into another dimension of badness which borders on cool.

I'd like to drive one just to say I have.

They're about as uncool as those little blue spaz chariots I used to see years ago. Megaste imo, chuck em in the Thames.

someone attached a motorbike engine to each rear wheel of a smart car once, it was mental, you can find it on youtube i think. I guess if the same applied here it would border on being cool, if not subzero...but in standard form, they are only really good for maybe, err.. charging your phone from?
