Robinphobic?
« on: 09 August 2009, 10:59:45 »
I think that I must be still suffering from Robinphobic thought, a condition I have had since knowing "nutty Ron" with his Reliant Robin 3-wheeler in the late 1960s, early 1970s!! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Yesterday on my travels saw a blue T reg example, but then the real cracker, a red S reg "LX"!!! :o :o :o :o

"LX"??  When could a Robin ever had a "Luxury Exective" trim level???!!!!! :-/ :-/ :-/  Come on!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

The Robin I saw in small bits, apart from the seats and engine, laying on the road in about 1973 on the South Circular certainly never had that finish! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Anyway, is there a cure on this lovely Sunday morning, with me full of humour, to my Robinphobia?? :-/ :-/ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)   

They just make me crack up, balancing on their three wheels, so thank God there are only a few around now!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

But have you seen how much they're advertised for sale at? They sell for far higher prices than a similar aged Omega  :o  :o  :o  ;)

Yes, like with the old 2CV, you go around corners or just go through strong winds with your door handle touching the ground!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Been there ,done that,it was hilarious.Especially the look on the face of the bloke who owned it.

Wow Zulu!! :o :o :o  A  V8 Robin!!! :o :o :o :o :o

I was expecting the driver to turn the engine at full revs and flip the thing over with the torque!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I reckon opened up fully on a motorway, if it didn't flip over it would take off!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My Robinphobia is not going away!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
