[@microusb42069]

​@@Shakes-Off-FearThat's not how size works lol. It's the overall volume and dimensions of the car. You can have a tall thing glass and a short wide glass and they'll hold the same amount of water. Did you not finish elementary/primary school or?

Crazy that this is official BBC they are legends for this

[@gilumasounds5965]

What do you mean? They're profiting from the work and fame of the people they've sacked years ago.

[@Toodyslexicforyou]

@@gilumasounds5965 so when you go to the supermarket do you get annoyed that the supermarket gets paid and not the farmer…. As it same situation here with the BBC, Clarkson makes the show. BBC paid him with a contact 😱 plus Clarkson didn’t have to pay the risk, cars, budget, legal fees etc etc. Ffs what u on about?

[@gilumasounds5965]

Here's the twist - imagine if the supermarket very publicly and scandalously cut all ties with the farmer because of the farmer's behavior that was deemed immoral, and a highly controversial product that was deemed completely unacceptable by the supermarket’s standards. Basically, they're telling the whole world that they do not want to be associated with this farmer anymore. Yet, they continue selling and profiting from this same controversial product with the farmer’s face plastered on it, and they're even creating new marketing channels to push it further. If they said he's out for a reason, doesn't cashing in and creating new channels to promote his old stuff kinda muddle the message, don't you think? It's media, not vegetables. There isn't a warehouse full of stock that they need to sell off.

[@Toodyslexicforyou]

@@gilumasounds5965 well funnily enough that Suppermarket decided to not renew contact. Why? Becuase that farmer had punched someone I.e violence I.e technically crinmal not ‘perceived moral value’ again the farmer allready sold his crops. It isn’t his work. The exam same time I don’t here a single word for you crying out for the farm hands I.e production crew 🤣🤣 Same time they aren’t the original cast shouldn’t the original cast own it they where the one who invited the idea ??? 🤣🤣🤣 Clarkson stealing from them !!!

As a dedicated cyclist, who doesn't mind riding in the densest of all traffic, I would probably be terrified in this thing. Because when cycling and you see danger coming, you could jump off your bike, you could use arms and legs to potentially lessen an impact. In this thing, you are cramped together without much of possible movement, whatever is coming for you, you basically have to accept it and wait for the impact. Especially since you are so low and tiny with this. A Dodge Ram would run over you and not even recognize it.

[@michaelredford5389]

If they made electric cars the size of the Peel P50, I'd get one. They'd be light, quiet, easy to get indoors and I wouldn't get wet during my commute because it has a roof. Even today you could get a radio or at least a Bluetooth speaker in there instead. Even if it was 50% longer and heavier... that's still easily enough. As long as it was wide enough to fit through a door and could do 40miles on one charge... there's a market for that.
