Edit: Meant to say that Capn Morton will hate it because it has an iPOD dock on the dash..

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Well apart from the wonderful ipod feature and the grill it could be any other little P.C. car. Fugly.

 

[Randy V]

Looks like a Chopped version of the Smart Car...

Not too bad anyway...

 

[Mark]

Looks better then the Smart car, but still not for me

 

[Jack Houpe]

As Daryl Adams has said "Thats not a car its an appliance".

 

[Roark_John]

Regurgitated corned-beef hash has a similar appeal...

exactly!

 

[David Sturch]

Look's like the same platform as the Smart Car. Most likely made in the same plant in France.

[Simon]

What size V8 would be in that then?

 

[David Morton]

How long before it has 'racing updates' and a series all of it's own ? Just imagine how many you could fit on the grid. Could it end up at the 24h du Le Mans ?
I can also imagine it with a huge sound system, a 6 inch tailpipe, and blue lamps underenath.

 

[Chris Martino]

With provisions made for 2 sets of golf clubs in the rear, it would make on hell of a cart!

[Jack]

Could we then call it the Aston Martin "Tiger"?

Can you say LeCar? There was a "racing" series for LeTurds in the US way back.

As Daryl Adams has said "Thats not a car its an appliance".

Actually, the appliance label was directed toward my neighbor's Prius. This gizmo looks a bit like a strange little bug-eyed fish we use to have in our salt water aquarium.

And the standard joke around the tracks was that the SCCA was gonna require the installation or four caster wheels on the roofs of all competing cars to allow the corner crews to easily push them off the track when they turn turtle!

 

[Jack Houpe]

Daryl, you keep me laughing all the time. Merry Christmas to you and your Family from Kathleen and I.

Mesa, I got a Lecar that can whoop some ass, if you can keep the tires from spinning. Ever hear of an R5?

 

[Grady]

What size mowing deck does it carry?

After seeing the ONE-77 it is a let down.

 

[Mark]

Being an Aston Martin I would like to know how much they are going to sell it for

 

[Aaron L.]

i think they're selling it in the $30K range.

YES!!!!! Renault R5 Turbo! Mid engine, rear drive, 4 cylinder DOHC with a pretty decent sized turbocharger. I think it was an old Garrett T3 if I'm not mistaken. I want one of those so bad I can taste it!!! LOL

Thanks for sending me the pictures of your garage a while back Jack, awesome collection sir!!
