  • Couple of glaring inaccuracies around 3:20 with the welding. That's a MIG welder so the wire isn't copper wire as stated in the video, it'll be steel since that's what they're welding. Also, the wire and gas don't come out at high temperature - that temp is created by an electric arc. Finally, the light can also burn skin, so not wearing appropriate gloves is also unsafe!

  • Reliant designed the suspension of the Robin to make it difficult to roll it over. Any alteration to the original set up, as this guy did, is bound to provoke easy roll overs. I had a 3-wheeler, though not a Reliant, and you quickly learn how to keep all 3 wheels on the ground, and how to get out of trouble if you miscalculate. I never rolled it, but I did corner on 2 wheels a few times.

  • Fifth Gear was launched on Channel 5 in 2001 with some of the original Top Gear presenters, after Top Gear was cancelled. Top Gear was later relaunched by the BBC with new presenters. Fifth Gear was intended to be a continuation of Top Gear, but the BBC would not let Channel 5 use the same name, hence Fifth Gear.

  • My first thought was to put training wheels on the car in the front to keep it from rolling. and when they started reducing weight i thought about using some of the waste material to add some weight wjere it adds to a lower center of gravity and then get to race it. they could be done in 3 hours instead of eight.

  • A vehicle with no redeeming features whatsoever. Oh, except one - you could drive it on a bike license. So they were popular with bikers in the winter. Until they got to the first bend. A friend had one, he was hit from the side by a Triumph Dolomite which took the entire front end clean off. The Dolomite was a bit dented, but otherwise drivable. My friend's robin was in three major pieces - two halves of the body and the engine was completely separated. Amazing such an unsafe car was ever type approved.
