Newer robins dont do this as they have ATGC a computer conrolled suspension system which is impossible to roll.Not a lot of people know you can still buy them new but there is a 20 month waiting list!.
lol nah we sold it for £100 lol...we didnt no how dear they were... but after we stopped filmin it rolled n we turned it back n there wasnt a scratch except the mirror broke
The name of this video needs to be changed to reliant tip. It definately didn't roll over. I would have enjoyed that much more. Make another and roll it onto some exploding fireworks. That's entertainment.
I cant think of a reason why Reliant would manufacture this car. But, from what I hear, the UK government taxes them as motorcycles and with 500 kg curb weight, they would be very fuel efficient. Considering that these cars are stupidly clumsy, I wonder if the savings are worth it? It is funny how a company becomes notorious for its shittiest model... The Reliant Sabre and Scimitar were great cars.
@scrfce123 They could be driven on a motorcycle licence too. Got a lot of bikers through winter and family life without having to take a car test. These Robins were great cars apart from the iffy handling. That half-ton kerb weight and revvy aluminium 850cc OHV engine gave 50-60mpg and lively acceleration up to about 80mph, and fibreglass doesn't rust!
@boo66 Funnily enough, went to Topgear live this Sunday and saw a match of car soccer - with both teams driving around in Reliant Robbins - This is the first time I've ever seen a Robbin in the flesh. They are little rockets... James May flipped his twice and had to be rolled over. The TG Australia host almost flipped once. Was a good laugh.
If these cars had the conventional wheel layout, I think they would have been hard to beat in their day.
Doesnt seem 10 months since we rolled that....seems only yesterday when Lee ended up on the passenger door with me underneath lol..... we need to do it again.
If we get another one Im sure we can arrange that!!! :o) Amours and Kazimann can hold hands and cry while they watch it! Tell you what, fire me your addresses and Ill send you some Kleenex! Haha!
Um true, Philep, would like reliant but no decent video on here its all banger racing and top gear roacket test and things and stupid making fun of thr reliant-
dgo999, slow? Really? And you have been racing them? Keeping in mind the 850cc engine, most are good for a ton and are rather nippy from a standstill.
And to everyone else,
I'm not saying they are fecking marvelous, but unless you have had the experience of driving one, you don't really have a leg to stand on when commenting.
Oh and enter4prise, alot of things are easy to tip over when driven in reverse!!!
lmao this video is amazing. i dunno why anyone is criticising a bit of fun on a £30 MOT faliure (hint to armours and kazimann). the people who are criticising it are boring old farts who have no sense of humor of life
thats right and cunts like me use them for banger racing,theyre a fucking joke theyre inpracticle slow and dangerous on todays roads,theyre just good for a laugh
