Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I have never seen a robin with flared arches before. How big are the wheel spacers needed for that?!?!

No spacers on there, Terry, the Zoe is built around a bespoke rear axle, is Rialto based and was a genuine production version aimed at American buyers who, being notoriously litigious when it comes to car-related injuries, would have sued Reliant if they'd been able to invert their cars and hurt themselves. In practice, because the axle was attached to the rear springs in the same places as the Rialto's axle would have been, the halfshaft tubes tended to flex, so snapped halfshafts and collapsed axle tubes were probably more effective in preventing American motoring injuries than the extra width of the rear track would have been.
