[@christopherdw7994]

Man , I want one of these seriously. 👏🏿👏🏿 Great episode.

[@marynashvyhar6383]

Nice combination of classic silhouette and modern technologies! 👌 The episode is super fun, I like how you guys joke with each other 🤣

[@AutotopiaLA]

Марина Швыгарь thanks. We have some good laughs for sure.

[@christophermarechal5017]

Too much fun, awesome seaside cruiser, great feature guys!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Christopher Marechal thanks Chris and I agree...perfect beach cruiser.

[@jarrodhollie8244]

That is sweet, love the retro but all new tech cars

[@AutotopiaLA]

Jarrod Hollie yeah, me too. Love keeping the nostalgia of days past without tech from days past.

[@RiderRescue]

It's a blast to drive. But if you don't like to smile... you probably shouldn't get one. It's a ton of fun. I typically ride motorcycles for my adrenaline rush. But when I drove this... it was a similar kind of rush with a bunch more stability.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, it’s a fun drive. Wanted to hit the canyons but is was way too hot out.

[@JeepsCafe]

Top notch vid, great job!

[@abbaby555]

You guys should have driven through in-n-out burgers with it since your in LA just to get a reaction

[@AutotopiaLA]

That would’ve been funny

[@pablocruise678]

I saw the Leno version of this.. I want one.. they are for rent here in Vegas..

[@AutotopiaLA]

Pablo Cruise they’re a lot of fun. Perfect for Vegas strip cruising.

[@motorhead9553]

Another classic video 🎥 keep it coming brother 💯 heffetv coming soon 💯

[@AutotopiaLA]

heffe tv thanks and I will!

[@blinkytran]

first time hearing and seeing this pretty legit

[@AutotopiaLA]

blinky tran me too and it really is. It’s a blast to drive!

[@EnochIS_REAL]

hmmmm i love it waiting for the Carmel but did anybody notice the grand amount of rust on the front axel rods?

[@rodcognito002]

Sounds like a BLAST.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Rod 000 👊👍

[@duckyplatypus]

What a beauty! The car is nice too tho

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂

[@craigmarshall3386]

Nice video brah😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

craig marshall thanks Craig!!

[@johnmattson5432]

In Washington State it's a motorcycle and requires both a helmet and a three wheel endorsement on your license.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I think it makes sense to wear a helmet being this exposed

[@alanensor5136]

I recently purchased this Vanderhall at auction from insurance company and would love to know some history on it.. any help would be greatly helpful with getting her back on the road.. Great video BTW

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’d say contact Vanderhall as they seem like really cool people

[@alanensor5136]

@@AutotopiaLA Do you remember if this one was given to you and Paulina to test drive directly from the Vanderhall company?

[@AutotopiaLA]

Alan Ensor the marketing company for them set this up and yes, it came straight from Vanderhall

[@alanensor5136]

@@AutotopiaLA Thanks for your help

[@Chong1975]

Not so much my style either... but definitely looks like a blast to drive!

[@AutotopiaLA]

J.F Cote exactly. Really fun to drive and unique.

[@hurricanesam1]

It fits you Shawn

[@AutotopiaLA]

Hurricane Sam lol!! It’s a fun toy for sure.

[@shanewarburton4064]

She's lovely

[@AutotopiaLA]

Shane Warburton agreed

[@lsvip1820]

That’s a bit different bro. Cool ride tho and looks very nippy ???? Great episode Speak soon

[@AutotopiaLA]

Ross Lynn thanks Ross and congrats on the wedding this weekend!!

[@lsvip1820]

AutotopiaLA thanks bro. Keep up the amazing work

[@Dimagiorp]

How's the turning on that

[@AutotopiaLA]

Didn’t get to drive it hard but it was really nimble. Wanted to hit the canyons but it was so hot out I passed.

[@Dimagiorp]

@@AutotopiaLA you think you could pull a u turn at an intersection without having to back up

[@AutotopiaLA]

Dimagio rp yes but barely. Turning radius isn’t great but I did one at an intersection. Tight.

[@Dimagiorp]

@@AutotopiaLA awesome man ty for the info

[@grondheise]

Test drive a morgan3wheeler??????????? I love the Vanderhall but the morgan three wheeler is a lot better in my opinion

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’d love to take one of those out!

The beginning “patter “ come be omitted…..

[@transikk]

Is she polish?

[@AutotopiaLA]

[@mr.cannonsr.8975]

Nice vid but lil mama where's your seat belt?

[@AutotopiaLA]

Mr. Cannon Sr. She wears it a little strange. Don’t think she will any more after a little conversation we had. Good eye!

[@tambambam]

​@@AutotopiaLA To be fair, it's reg'd as a motorcycle so even if she wasn't it's technically ok? Though, I'd be concerned for Paulina's safety as well. My best friend used to put the shoulder strap behind her, but I wouldn't start driving unless she wore it properly. Since it's California isn't a helmet required?

[@bartekr12]

Paulina - no seat belt??

[@AutotopiaLA]

She likes to tuck it under her arm. I’ve since been giving her grief about it.

[@CyberAnvil]

change the color and get a better mike setup!

[@AutotopiaLA]

We got better mic’s since this vid which was quite a while ago.

[@allensaunders449]

A three wheel car is a bit if a gimmick four wheels are better why make a car with three no real advantage. Doesn't mean its not fun.i few this as a car

[@AutotopiaLA]

Allen Saunders it is a lot of fun to drive and I’m with you. I like bikes with 2 wheels and cars with 4 which maybe makes us both old school?

[@VanderhallMotorWorks]

There are advantages with this vehicle in the twisties--you have no tail to wag you--once you are through a turn it is onto the next seamlessly, additionally, if the road is off camber, the rear of a Vanderhall will not be loading up opposite corners of the suspension vehicle through the turns . That said, none of the design cues could exist as a 4-wheel car. 5 mile an hour bumpers and pedestrian impact ratings of 4 wheel car create barriers to design that limit your capacity to create. Its not for everyone and that's the way we like it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Vanderhall Motor Works love that you guys jumped in here to help us all understand the engineering.

[@mby_dk]

Like the vehicle, but Paulina driving without seatbelt fastened is just STUPID!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Morten Brønsby she has it on but wears it under her arm. We’ve talked about it.

[@usmanrai1244]

shawn make her your gf.. shes so hot

[@AutotopiaLA]

usman rai lol!! She is hot but we’re just super close friends.

[@Maddogs27]

No she's not..she okay though.

[@cesarorozco2462]

CAR, it's a three wheeler, not worth the money,....maybe 10 thousand no more.
