Reliant Robin speeding

[Steve L]

A young lad driving his Reliant Robin down the M5 when there was an almighty bang from the engine. So he coasted to the hard shoulder and rang daddy.

Daddy came out in his Jag to tow junior home. He told junior that If he went too quick in the Jag, he should toot his horn and flash his lights. So off they went at a steady 50 mph.

Suddenly a boy racer goes past in his XR3i making gestures at the jag driver. Of coarse daddy rose to the bait and stuck his foot down, not wishing to let a puny Escort burn off a Jag.

Next thig, they go past a cop car. The radio message read.

Sarge You ain't gonna believe this. I've clocked A XR3i doing a ton and Jag right behind him.

Oh good came the reply.

No sarge the best bit is there's a Relient Robin behind them "flashing his lights & blasting his horn" , he wants to overtake the pair of um!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beep Beep.

Hi,

When I first heard that, it involved a Bentley, a Bugatti, and an Austin 7. But it still amuses.

A Reliant Robin V5 passed over my desk many years ago. Engine size? 3500cc.

I bought a wreck of a Frog-eye Sprite. Engine siezed (rusted) and no brakes. Wife towed me home using my ex-race Reliant Scimitar GTE. My plan was to put Sprite into gear, depress clutch ..... lift clutch when I wanted to slow down. Wife worked out that if she kept accelerating, then I couldn't run into the back of her. She couldn't hear my screams.
