Not been on TM for a while and never posted on the 3 wheeler bit, just been quietly enjoying my 4 seater. However the little ones are not so little now and time came to look again. In my line of work we take a long hard look at the future and the environmental agenda is going to change all our lives far more than any of us realise. I was on my way to Williams to pick up the 4 seater after it’s service and it suddenly struck me that we may not be able to buy and enjoy cars like the 3 wheeler for much longer. So that was a couple of weeks ago and today I sent off my deposit for a new one. Oh my god I can’t wait. It’s good to be back on TM, even better to be in the queue for a new M3W !
Cheers

Congrats. Why can’t you buy one in Canada? You have the campagna t-rex, a trike company there.

I so agree your thinking. I can not justify the three wheeler on any rational basis, but if I don’t do it now I never will - and it is SOOOO good to take it out, or just sit in it, or just.look at it. I know it will bring heart break, massive expense, and is totally unjustifiable, but I am so glad I bought it.

There is no rational basis to buy one of these. Get over it. If you are locked onto this idea then just move on and order a Tesla or a Prius or something like that. This is about fun.
If that is not in your outlook then give it up.
I continue to throw money, fuel and heartbreak at this ridiculous beast of a car that is a terrible s*%t to drive in the wet yet, still, makes me smile...

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Yep, it's not about practical, its about fun. And yes, they will be legislated into extinction. The only thing that might save the Three Wheeler is an all electric model, and that is defeating half of the fun!!
