I've seen one of those in real life, parked in our neighborhood.
The 'yota version, not the AM. ;-) I kinda like it. Small, but bigger than a For2 and probably a decent commuter car (with the right drive train). In 20 years, assuming private autos are still legal, I wouldn't be surprised if there were millions of electric things that look like that on the world's roads. Cheers, Scott. |

Wonder what Q branch could do with one of those?...

That was mad as a box of frogs.
I believe they came with scatter cushions for the back seat, at least as an option. ETA: They absolutely did! http://skiddmark.com/2011/06/scatter-cushions-in-an-aston-martin/ |

Now see the [only..] one with a V-8

Guess that answers my Q branch question
Not the Q branch I was thinking of, but close enough! |
