      See, I like this, but the chain drive and current frame design sketch me out.
      I'm know I'm overthinking this, but do a custom tube steel frame conversion on Gary with a proper firewall and safety cage, then mid-ship K-swap it.
      You'd lose the backseat but gain insane power to weight...think even smaller Ariel Atom.

    A genuine interest of mine would be to put a cheap bike engine in a G Wiz to make a super fuel efficient car. Everyone jumps to hayabusa engines but I think something like a CB500 would be mega fun, sound decent for a car, and do 50-60mpg. It also wouldn't cost the earth to buy, and you could probably have a quickshifter, which would be very sick fun even with 50hp.

      Would you have found the car - oh, sorry..."quadricycle" - a monstrosity, had you not heard someone _else,_ TELL you that it was such??
      You see, I drove one of these over 15 years ago, and of the around 45 to 50 different cars and vans I've ever driven, this actually ranks *better* in several aspects, than even more higher quality cars, such as VWs and VW group cars, as well as some Fords, Fiats, Renaults etc.
      Parking is extremely simple, it costs literally PENNIES to operate, charging is very easy indeed, shopping can be loaded even while carrying a single passenger, a third person can fit in if sat sideways in the back - basically, it's absolutely fine for getting what you need in and around town.
      Top Gear took the p*ss out of this car (well, only Jeremy Clarkson to be honest), and it was just G-Wiz-bashing really.
      People never really gave them much of a chance, but instead treated them with contempt and ridicule, so they ended up a "joke" to own, when that wasn't ever the case.
      Try running a modern day VW Golf - I was using one last week, and it felt unnecessarily excessive for what I needed - more expensive to run, more things to go wrong, higher repair and refuelling costs, and I almost felt as if the car was making its decisions for me (automated processes).

      @Leslie & Luke SoCal strangely, I was just thinking about C5s yesterday! (No, not the Citroen - one of which I did once own funnily enough :)).
      Then again, I do like Sinclairs in general - particularly the Spectrum, so maybe that isn't a surprise.
      Never driven a Sinclair C5 - I suppose it's one of those bucket list things to do.
      I can definitely see how that would have helped a 12 year old, though I was under the impression you had to be at least 14 to drive one?

    Things to do with twist for the new G-wiz owner:
    1- The maximum number of school runs possible from 1 charge, for a driver and passenger. With after school clubs drop off's and collections. VS an internal combustion engine car with the same amount of fuel (money wise), that Barry cost for that 1 charge.
    2- Do a weekly food shop for, a family of 4 in one trip only, (from Brent Cross). Up to the value of Barry and Gary. Northing is allowed to be left behind, including the passenger (a blow-up doll inflated).
    3 - A race, designated driver and real passenger (using the G-Wiz) from a pub inside central London to outside the M25. Charging is allowed and back again (as some one left their phone at the pub once again). VS two other people using public transport (buses only), for the same journey on the road.
