Reliant Robin Rollover

[redreaper2020]

sadly, if htey'd widened the front wheel, the vehicle wouldn't have been such a piece of shit.

[PaulVogtable]

CLASSIC!

[kevw25]

Slap training wheels on the front corners and you should be good to go!

[shadowarcticfox]

Red Robin! ROOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!

[tz138]

That white stripe over a red pain job looks best on the Ford Gran Torino!!!

[eadad]

i want one for the lawls

[Daviticus042]

"Reliant", my ASS!!!

[McBango]

I wonder how many stock piles of side mirrors there are...

[torker24]

lol Top Gear

[waddlerobloxxxx]

Reliant robin= A failed attempt at trying top be futuristic.

[Atomicskull]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have 2 wheels in front and 1 wheel in back?

[kgbkungza]

LMAO

[210peanutswaye]

I have a proper lambo V12 in my reliant

[wokeupthismorning100]

Shitbox.

[WELLBRAN]

it takes quite bit of going to roll it over only in the high winds have I seen one go over and why did this idiot want to roll it on purpose for what is a perfectly good vehicle?..strange

[BradfordtheEclectic]

@WELLBRAN PERFECTLY GOOD VEHICLE????!!!! What a piece of crap! This is the stupidest car I've ever seen. It makes a 1960 Panhard-Levassor look like astro-physics research.

So much so, I say Jeremy Clarkson did the exact, perfect thing with a test vehicle when this pathetic excuse for a car was featured on TopGear.

[electricbayonet2]

@WELLBRAN "High winds"? Jesus Christ. You're calling it a "perfectly good vehicle" if it got toppled by "high winds"? And that doesn't refer to hurricane-strength gales, either. That's just a windy day.

He couldn't have been going more than 30mph, and if he made anything sharper than a gentle circle for a turn, it flipped the car over. This car is shit, and this design was shit.

[ZX2ManDave]

I can not believe these things were ever produced or allowed on the road. You probably would flip it before you got off of the dealers lot. 

[BenyBoy44]

Xmass pesents for everyone!! :D

[Meadoway40]

Reliants only existed for so long because you could drive one on a provisional licence [being a tricycle]. You did not need to pass any test to drive one. In the 70s loads of us, mainly bikers had relaints [or bond bugs] during the winter months. As cars they are probably the shittest in the world, but acceptable when you do not have a licence for a 4 wheeled car. I had loads of fun in mine, 4 of us even went down to Herefordshire, 300 mile round trip.

[elixwhitetail]

Am I the first one to spot a rifle in the pile of crap at 0:53 after the Robin's flipped back over? (I'm guessing it's an airsoft or paintball or something, and not an actual weapon.)

[breadbaker226]

what happens to the side mirror and the paintwork.....?

[redbull69cl]

saw that car on top gear!

[Mass7507]

Useless but funny

[therealTOTOfan]

what a fucking peace of shit car

[supertrix101]

@therealTOTOfan The reliant robin is a legendary death trap.

[SursionGaming]

Why don't they put two wheels in the front and one in the back? Common sense.

[granturismo5101]

if u love crashing this is the perfect 3 wheeled car 4 u!

[unreal3010]

i dont get it, why not put 2 wheels in the front and 1 in the back.

[wks1978]

@unreal3010 The biggest unanswered question of all time....

[BuzzCola95]

It's not a robin until it rolls!

[FreakinAwesomeVideos]

I think some of the worst design in the car was the name... Who would call this reliant?

[vaskjonte]

Kaato

[rinseoutdrycleaner]

LOL

when i saw the first couple of seconds i thought: 'hey this guys got a well looked after classic he's obviously put a lot of time and effort into his little starsky and hutch reliant, he's clearly an enthusiast and knows how easy these things are to roll. he wont do anything silly.'

i couldnt have been more wrong.....

[FishySticks613]

reliant...

[leauxbert]

Who thought this would be a good idea?

[bluenoserr]

I actually saw a Challenger main-battle tank pass one of these things on a road near an army base in Britain. It was surreal to watch.  The commander used hand-signals to to indicate he was pulling-out and then back in. Imagine how humiliating it must be to get passed by something that weighs over 60 tonnes!!!

[grakzork]

Fuck I love the U.K.

[DoctorWeeTodd]

I guess "Unreliant Robin" wasn't as catchy of a name to marketing.

[ShadowXII]

Thumbs up if Cracked sent you here.

We're not engineers over here, but we're going to go out on a limb and say that taking a corner with just one wheel to balance all the weight on the front of your car ups the likelihood of tipping over and rolling down the street from "possible" to "guaranteed."

[GraphiteFigurine]

@ShadowXII You may not need to be an engineer to be able to tell that this is shit, but as an engineer, I can tell you that this is indeed shit.

[ryanmshepard92]

CRACKED!

[ssj4david]

Will it drift?

[ford4rlife]

@ssj4david i did in the snow with my grandads (he got a new one so he give me his old one. i did not nick it) it was fun to drive

[Raiyanz]

i saw this one on top gear b4!!

[UnIcOrNpOoP1]

In Russia Reliant Robin Rolls over you.

[SnipeSpace]

I would so drive that.

[skumperboy]

i have to pee

[COSANOSTRA2OO8]

@skumperboy i was just about to

but anyway

stop abusing those things they are gonna be classics in 15-20 years

[kinggarus]

possibly the best car ever.... where do i sign up

[Detoyato]

Try Driving one around the Nurburgring!

[theAngelofhevn]

atlast hes got the seatbelts on XD

[gododgers1236]

ha what a rolling sack of shit lol nice vid

[castlemania08]

They may be one of the easiest cars to roll over, but they surely made the body strong enough to resist caving in during a rollover

[MKUltraProject]

lmfao. stupid bloody car

[JamboHD]

On topgar clarkson topled his Like 15 times

[wenis1990]

@JamboHD on the same side too lmao

[lightvader3338]

that's also the reason why robins dont compete rally or drifting.

[lightvader3338]

mr. bean's biggest enemy.

[TkMToM1993]

dude go round the circle anti clockwise..... driver weight.. dumb as

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

smart car robins 

[V742]

@RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF That would tip over too easily. But if someone's dumb enough to make one, let me know :D

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

@V742 yes what happened to the blue ones with handlebars in them ,they had sliding doors [spack charoits we called them ] disabled folk used to drive them in the 70s

[V742]

@RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF How were some of them disabled in the first place?

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

@V742 well u would have to ask them i dont suppose it was after having a high speed crash in a robin ! the ones we used to take the piss out of seemed to be down syndrome cases [very strong types] ,not a lot up top

[lesmonmouth]

@RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF

 they were 'Invacars' :)

most were scrapped by the goverment in 1977.

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

@lesmonmouth oh thanks mate ,rare as hens teeth now i suppose

[mrspivvy]

@RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF They were all owned by the DSS, who decided one day that the cars were dangerous and would all have to be scrapped. there are still a couple about that survived

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

@mrspivvy we had a place for the disabled by us ,they were everywhere ,be worth a few quid now, handlebars were inside them ,ah childhood memories bye

[juxhin000]

@PenultimateRun

good like steering it

[Inmateshardstyle]

Don't discriminate Robins! They can be used as Space Shuttles too! (as seen on Top Gear)

[supertrix101]

@Inmateshardstyle Except it crashed....

[V742]

@Inmateshardstyle Yeah! They can go to space, they're areodynamic in shape, they save you 55 pounds a year and are economical. And they're excellent for culling the population.

[stopglobalswarming]

In USA these are used for industrial transporation on big plants or college campuses.

[stopglobalswarming]

In America if you want a 3 wheel motorcycle, there are all kinds made with a fiberglass tub and the ass end of a volkswagon beetle, and front end of a cruiser motorcycle. They are not enclosed though.

[ScottIsHereRightNow]

Niiiceeee

[konradpiela]

is this the robin reliant Jeremy Clarkson crashed into on topgear?

[TRUMPHENT]

@konradpiela No, not unless the stripe was redone. 

[Meadoway40]

@konradpiela Clarkson deliberately rolled that Reliant at every chance to take the piss out of them. They do not roll if you drive them sensibly.

[BOXFRESH99]

@konradpiela no, the one on top gear was an older model, the same model as in mr bean

[completlylegend1990]

now we know why here made of fibreglass , cheap to mend because there so shitty and tip really easy

[crowbarftw]

Wow, so Top Gear werent joking about the handling in the last episode.

[ledzepplin12able]

what was the idea of having one front wheel please reply

[tmmp1984]

@ledzepplin12able pay less taxes, its stupid but true. is considered a motorcycle

[MegaSafa123]

funny Lol

[jclspedding]

this is why the police SHOULD use reliant robins!

[Jon13bur]

sounds like a dirtbike

[eckyspondoolie]

10/10, piss funny!

(the roll over never hurt a bit but kind sumaritan flip back over with him hanging out of the window just about killed him...LOL.

[tweeber69]

wouldn't you hate to be the third wheel too? just kind of there, and useless lol

[tlfrantz1]

Question: Was the design team that developed this car concept ALL crackheads or was it just the boss?

[Blurredman]

It's called saving money :) The car is made from plastic aswel you know! :D hehe. Good vid!

[welshhotbabe24]

these car's make me laugh. ive seen 1 tip over on a roundabout it had me in tears HAHAHAHAHA. they got like hot shit off a shovel for an 850cc

[AshtonPhoto]

Excellent!

It's amazing that these were ever allowed on the road.

Perhaps they thought it would just roll out of the way of a crash...

[silenthillfan437]

hahahah

[curtean1978]

nice bike

[marshalllucky]

wish we could buy these bondbugs in USA . I hear that they now have introduced a four wheel version called the kitten reliant?

[miniboy84]

bondbugs are a different vehicle

and the kittern has been out as long as the robin

[fishiestory]

You're out of time I'm afraid - The kitten was from around 1975. Sadly, after 65 years, the three wheelers are no more...

[battz93]

wtf have u seen his hair

[masticina]

Ah the robin reliant now if one has a firebreathing V8..

[One3teen]

Or a Nitro-Spiting V12

[masticina]

With chrome pipes sticking from it :)

And no pansy power limiters either!

[reptilian1982]

There are V8 Robins, just search for Reliant Robin V8.

[masticina]

Yes and it is madness.

[TecLogik]

FAIL

[GabriKnight]

0:36 Postman Pat van!

[dancenekkid]

What everyone should be doing every Saturday.

[chitoryu12]

Starsky & Hutch: The Later Years?

[UberNoobtard]

reliant my ass lol

[Greataardvark]

fuck me that was class!!! ;D so funny

[jumbodoug]

so what tht it tips over easily..its just as easy to push it upright again lol

[1991RichaRD]

Why would you build a car with only one wheel at the front? I just don't get it!

[Mitchd03]

for the lols

[Daza409]

hahhaha that's the right answer :P

[fishiestory]

Because they're hugely fun, maybe?

[mrspivvy]

Because under UK laws, a 3 wheeler is classed as a tricycle and you can drive one on a motorbike license. you only pay the motorbike rate of road tax too. these things are also good for 60 mpg

[bobhead360]

Brilliant! Well spirited!

[DJCossie]

hahahahahahaha best thing on you tube :D

[TheMaggot81]

Wow i love that ride! It looks and handels very kewl

[mk3cortinapaul]

what car

[peckerwood57]

What is so funny?

A perfectly fine car being trashed.

[BlakjeKaas]

too bad =(

[One3teen]

Its not ruined! It just needs some buffing, itll be fine

[gschjetne]

lol, this is why most people, not just the police, don't use the Reliant Robin.

[paulthebassguy]

shame darwin didn't get him.

[mattoy123]

still laughing!!

[inkey2]

ummm, i mean....how can you "not" roll a car with one wheel in the front

[morri32]

cool a ford turonto reliant robin!

[crazymikey86]

lmfao. got to be the stupidest idea for a car ever. No wonder Mr Bean hates the blue one! LOL

[ab5010]

the blue car in mr bean is not a robin.

[theateamvan]

true the blue car was a reliant regal

[rantarave]

@crazymikey86

haha i remember that from my choldhood haha

[supertrix101]

@crazymikey86 I wonder why the robin was not classified as a dangerous car and made illegal to drive on public roads

[thecainers]

awesome

[dancenekkid]

Nice paint job! I have got to get me one of these.

[rimmer0001]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tigrepants]

It's a "Starsky & Hutch" Mini-Me car!

[SheriffTankStoner]

And they say the Brits don't follow the American TV progammes. Oye Tuey Vuey, chaps

[bigmouthblackface2]

COOOOL!!!

[hillmandj]

funny as fukkkkkkkkkkkk.

[mightycordoba]

lmao hell yea

[thewildncrazyoli]

try looking at a reliant without laughing. you just can't take them seriously!

[noob5000000]

hahahahahahahaha. i love how everyones just laughing.

[d24111987]

yes says the guy who has a job works 18 hour shifts to pay for little shites like you t sit at home on dole DOLEY!!!

[joh2]

I know those Robins - they went on a mish to Eastern Europe!

[gotobedandtickler]

my mate had one of these things, always did wheel lifts without tippling over and shit me up too !!! great paint job ??

[nightlite79]

Drifting in a robin reliant? It's funny enough seeing them drive in the snow. Hilarious!

[megaderk]

ahaha. i love how its just expected to go roll it backover. they dont act like OMG they just go rol it back over an thats it.

[stu22aus]

I want one

[d24111987]

was slightly funny but nothin t really laugh about sad actually get a life

[IAmNutsAboutPCs]

Says the guy with nothing on his page.

[1942JA]

brilliant, i put it in my favourited "funny stuff" playlist lol

[TonyNhollywood]

brilliant! I laughed when I came to realize that its painted like the car from starsky and hutch. LMAO!

[infobelow]

Was he meant to do that ?

[chrisofthetube]

no.....

[IAmNutsAboutPCs]

You idiot, of course he was.

[sw1w]

HI captain,

I'm registered disabled and would like your old three-wheeler if you don't want it!

I have grown weaker since my third hip replacement, and find it too painful to get around; and I get too out of breath.

Let me know, what you think; I hear that four wheel vehicles have superior road handling by comparison that may be the way to go for yourself, especially if you don't need a nimble-in-carparks vehicle.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[dannyhey07]

the video is well funny, i love it

[Richardpd16378]

That's great, when rolling one in Mr Bean the stunt team couldn'tturn one over without an air ram stuck to the bottom, maybe they should have called this bloke!

[beersnfags]

Very good, just what i was searchin for!! Great video!!

[fishiestory]

You ought to be ashamed. Excellent cars that you really should try before criticising.

[1RadNomad]

@fishiestory Excellent cars? Er.. you might be on the losing side of that debate! Clearly one of the worst vehicles ever.

[fishiestory]

@1RadNomad My Reliant is excellent!  They're perfectly stable if not used by idiots. It's funny somebody going out to do this, but you need to know that the result is deliberate: My cars (5 so far) haven't so much as lifted a wheel in 28 years of driving (I'm NOT a slow driver). Reliants are great fun and stable if used correctly. It's just a great shame that a lot of people can't get their heads around three wheels - They are missing out on a lot of fun.

[snurfen]

Good 'un, made oi larrrrrf.

[kandanaoyuki]

Wonderful nice car.

[callmewilson]

EXTREMELY FUNNY, GREAT VIDEO

[wildhobby]

Ah nostalgia - you could handbrake a robin better than a regal. I wished I'd videod the time we fed one to a bin lorry. (Dumpster/crusher)

:-)

[mrxt500]

It's nice to hear the concern of the guy filming at the moment of roll-over!

[pullskinbak]

wot a load of old shit!!!!

[01276]

haha funniest thing seen in ages

[smileboobs]

hey thats the mr bean car!!

[72duster]

classic
