top gear shows us why there aren 8217 t three wheeled cars driving around picture

As was pointed out earlier, Top Gear is back on the air in the UK. While BBC America is a bit slow to show us the new episodes, we have torrents to keep us up to date.

In the first episode of the season, we saw a Bentley Continental Supersports and the new reasonably priced car, a Kia Cee’d. Yet, that wasn’t the best bit. What really capped the episode off was some Jeremy Clarkson stupidity.

Clarkson decided to find out why there aren’t more three-wheeled cars in the world. He set out on a 14-mile journey that was shown to us on a map of Europe in the beginning of the clip. The car he selected to drive was the good old Reliant Robin, the same type of car that was used to build the space shuttle a few years back.

You’ll have to watch the video below to find out what happens, but it was quite amusing. Sorry about the poor video quality, but that’s life on YouTube.

Hit the jump for the video.

I saw this once when I had watched Mr. Bean, and this episode was one of the famous. He was literally chasing this vehicle just to get rid this.

HAHA! Yeah. The video is hilarious and funny! With regards to the car if it really exists. I think, yes! I’ve been watching the series of Mr. Bean, and I recognize that it is the car always being bumped by Mr. Bean.

Aside from the fact that the video is hilarious I have to admit that I feel like shouting ’ouch’ every time Jeremy falls with the car. I wonder if this vehicle exist during the old times and how they maintain there balance?

haha. Just in the beginning of the video it really answer on why there’s no three-wheeled car that is driving around on the street! Hell! It’s hard to maintain a car balance here. I think after driving that car, Jeremy needs to go confine himself in the hospital.

This three-wheel Reliant Robin reminds me of the car often hit by Mr. Bean. By the way, it is a good thing that those Robins are gone since it cannot provide a better performance compare to other cars nowadays.

Oops! The videos weren’t working! Well, the car doesn’t have an impressive performance. And it doesn’t work just like a four wheel car.

It seems that they haven’t made an awesome performance for the car. Well, there is an existence for a three wheeled cars. However, it doesn’t perform greatly as the four-wheeled.

I would also rather buy a motorbike; I don’t think if this is practical. I know that nobody would dare to try this one.

No way, I won’t use all my money to buy this one. Why don’t you just throw this one?

Dude, search it again in Youtube. There were a lot of versions uploaded on that site. Maybe, the site terminated the video because of copyright issues.
