I think they were scary in standard form. A colleague of mine was recounting his brief bug ownership a while back. He was dong about 90 along the M3 (down hill, i presume) and swerved to avoid something. Ended up on its' roof, fortunately on the hard shoulder. Bye bye Bond Bug. Change of underwear required but otherwise unscathed.

I drove a Bond Bug when i was 15!! Great fun. As regards the clip, why not? I think they're a good laugh if you can afford one of course.
    Dare to be different???

...However for an alternative that looks good, how about the Bond Bug ....There are still a few about, about 2500 were originally produced, .....

One of them is in my garage [size=8]and shed[/size]

Yes, but I like the Bond Mini car rather than the bug, one hell of a sleeper and was originaly powered by a motorcycle engine.  

A sleeper? You it fell asleep? A Villiers 175cc stuck on the front driven wheel. 4 forward gears & 4 reverse , cos you ran the engine backwards to make the car go backwards.  :-?

...., how about the Bond Bug .....Now one of these with an up to date engine,  ......

There's one with a Hyabussa engine in somewhere.

I think it might be this one ....

Oh yes, very tasty   Now one of these, with electric motors putting out 75BHP, might catch on in a big way, esp with the low VED that trikes used to enjoy, plus the clowns in whitehall would have to give it the thumbs up, cause its environmentally friendly    
Modify the drive, put in two motors in the back at the wheel hubs, and  fill the front with batteries, it would handle well and be a hoot to drive. Imagine 4 wheel, sorry 3 wheel drifts in that !

You could drive at 16 though, can you still?

i remember the police trying to catch one around here a while ago, not a chance, the T5s and Omegas were left for dead and they couldn't sting it either . In the end a range rover slammed the brakes on in front of it and the robin just fell apart , and the prat who stole it was sat in the middle of the road just holding a steering wheel.  lmao

Doubt it. AFAIK 16 yr olds are only allowd to ride a 49/50cc moped. I don't know how the rules have changed since the days of Fizzies that had a pair of pedals just to comply with the rules either.

when i was a kid i wasnt allowed to even look at a motor bike ,One day i was playing football in my grans garden and accidentally hit one of her rose bushes .i said iwas sorry and all the rest of it and she said it didn't matter . i thought id got off too lightly but thought no more about it until a few days later when my Dad gave me a thick ear for riding a motor bike .Guess who he got his information from even though it was bull$hit. (i would even know where to start, even now.
