Carver One tilting car
I was out riding on Saturday (Guildford>Steve Jordan's>Boxhill>Ranmore Common>Ripley>Woking) I was having fun keeping up with an R32 from Ripley to Woking wondering which should be faster in the twisties a car or a motorbike when I saw one of these up ahead.
http://www.carver-worldwide.com/SubItem/Su...sp?S_ID=21&nc=1 So I had to follow it spoke to the guy at the Byfleet traffic lights who said he had given up motorbikes as they were too dangerous. Looked like a happy medium apart from not being able to filter - which brought a smile back to my face at overtaking the queue at the temporary traffic lights. I didn't get to ask him if the IAM sticker displayed was for bikes or cars. |

Re: Carver One tilting car
"0-60mph in 8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 115 mph"...it also looks crap.
Still an interesting concept though. |

Re: Carver One tilting car
Meh, if I had to have a tilting 3 wheeler I'd have one of these.

Re: Carver One tilting car

Re: Carver One tilting car
The standard ones are a bit tame, but the RS is nice. I've had a hankering for one for a while now. I thought it would go away, but it hasn't!
+ R6 are the best(except for maybe the 2007 R1 in white/black/red.) Not like that green bogey you have. |

That's not nice calling Sarah a green bogey! I prefer to have this than a Focus Vauxhall Astra VXR |
