We had a car manufacturer here in the UK called Reliant, and their famous model is the Robin. They were fairly common in the 70's and all you needed to drive it was a motorcycle licence, but the "car" still had to meet normal car testing conditions. Top Gear (UK version) actually did a whole show around it, with Jeremy Clarkson tipping it on purpose on corners.

[@bwofficial1776]

Top Gear rigged the Reliant to roll over more easily by welding the differential, adding weights, and putting differently sized tires on. Robin owners said that they were fairly stable and gave ample warning before rolling.

[@BikesandBeards]

[@SquareWheelMedia]

The one clarkson rolled over was made by a British company called reliant. They started building 3 wheelers to exploit a loop hole in British law that classed 3 wheelers as bikes, meaning they could sell their products to soldiers returning from the 2nd World war, who only had motorcycle licenses (same thing Morgan did). Top gear actually admitted that they sabotaged the reliant to make it tip in the corners. Somebody I used to work with had one, and he said it was more stable in reverse.

[@stuartcarter7053]

My family had a Reliant Robin growing up as my father only had a motorcycle licence. He hated it. Said it was made appallingly bad and spent half his life fixing it.

I soft rolled my very custom 1972 Super Beetle back in '96. We had chopped the roof a bit, had custom glass cut, pulled all the chrome and bumpers, 2300cc engine that needed wheelie bars if I goosed it too hard. First car and my dad and I had been working on it since I was 12 in anticipation of me getting my license at 16. I was 17 and had enjoyed it as a daily for just about a year when I took a turn ramp a bit too fast. Soft rolled it on it's side in the grass. This was back before cellphones were common, so I walked up the ramp to a 7-11 and called my dad at work from a payphone. He told me to roll it back over onto the wheels, let it settle for a few minutes and start it up. Walked back and 2 good ol' boys in a pickup helped me push it back over. Sure enough, after I waited a few minutes, it started right up. About 2 weeks worth of me putting in time to fix some dents and replace a mirror, she was as good as new. Drove her for another 2 years before I got t-boned by a hit and run drunk driver in a f350 with cattle bars. Broke the frame and tore the engine nearly out. Found the truck that hit me later that night a block away from my parents house, but that's another story.

@@yermomsboyfriend LMFAO. Funny you said that. Not because I burned his truck down, but because the driver was the son of the fire chief and it was the chiefs truck. When the police originally ran the plate number I gave them at the scene of the hit and run, they were being a bit weird. Then when I called them again when I was by the truck, my paint all over the cattle guard, they were hesitant to get more involved. They eventually went to door of the house and the dude there said it was his buddies truck and that he parked it and left. That was a lie, the dude that answered was the driver. I told the police it was the driver, but they did nothing. Months later my lawyer finally got all the story straight. I got a great settlement, but it took far too long.

I could get a good set of mud or a/t tires on my dually for under 700 most of the time. They always wore well, and for the miles I drove on and off road with trailers, they were the best deal around. I'd usually go during the Jefferson County Fair or the Mingo Junction community festival.
