3-Wheeler DRAG RACE

Hi how are you Matt Wilson from cowboy with Jenny it's really very cozy yeah so an unusual vehicle today because we've got an unusual drag race do you know what's going on I've got sun in my eyes I've got a headache and there's a view from this cars they all have one thing in common do you know what it is other than that they're all old yeah they're all old but there's another thing three wheels they're all three wheelers so we've got a bunch of three-wheelers that we're gonna drag race because we can we're in this car together and there's not much room is there but you're not actually going to be in this car are you you see that one next to me there the smallest car in the world I think that is the peel you're going to be in that am I going to see in it well I don't know if you're going to fit in it but it's gonna be fun like watching you try go get in the peel and if you can't get in it I'll drive it but I think you've got to try right let's see how this goes I'm gonna do my window down because it's starting to steam up in here because the ventilation system isn't great on this Reliant Regal there we go oh dear that's happened here we go though let's have a look what happens go on then bum first ass first yeah he's gonna fit you know oh come on mate like a glove it's a bit snug it's more like a condom probably and it does look a bit like a dick anyway let me tell you about this reluctant Regal so it's the van version of the Reliant Robin this one is made up to mimic the one driven by Del Boy Trotter in only Falls and horses yeah I feel like a bit of a plonker it's got an 850 cc engine with 40 odd horsepower weighs in under 500 kilos four cylinders in this engine which is pretty impressive and I've got four gears I'm having to keep on revving it because it wants to cut out let's find out about the P you do know anything about that car that you're in yeah I know it's only shown six kilometers on the speedo which means it's probably gone over I know it's got one gear I know it was 199 pound when it was new and I think 45 something it's definitely not got 45 brake horsepower it's got 4.2 brake horsepower it's got like 49 cc engine with one cylinder tuk-tuk driver tell me about your machine the 200cc four-stroke petrol for an amazing four brake horsepower whoa that's a bit less than the peel so you're gonna lose right okay cool let's move on to the Piaggio this is a very rare Beast Matt this is you know it hasn't got horsepower it's just got style and grace and Italian charm do you reckon it's going to make it all the way to the quarter mile I'm not sure whether this thing is it does look quite smart though that Piaggio finally then we come to the Isetta 250 CC's from 1957 and I think when they came out they had 12 whole horsepower does anyone know how much horsepower this Reliant Regal has okay so this has 37.2 horsepower anyway if you're thinking about selling your car because you want to buy something weird like one of these then you can sell it through cargo all you have to do is upload some photos give a brief description then add dealers will bid on your card if you want to do that right now click on the pop-up button up they'll click on the link in the description alternatively you can do a later date by simply Googling help me car wow and we will help you sell a car Buy sell car wow now before we race I think we should do a sound check so I'm going to rev up this Reliant Regal yeah can you rev up your little peel mate you've got no idea how tight it is for my foot to even get to the accelerator that sounds like an old like moped doesn't it let's have a listen to the Rickshaw Raven let's have a listen to the Piaggio Raven and finally the BMW I'm sure it's great to drive with it like this the window but I'm just going to leave it there's nothing I can do about it all right I think this sounded the best or the peel it's so noisy in here mate I can't hit a single single thing I do like your window is that like some next aerodynamic window right places jab into my temple which is good if anything goes wrong because these are famous for like tipping over anyway let's just get on with the race good morning all right knock me out again this is quick all of my own this time next year Rodney will be millionaires [Music] where's the finish line there's a tuck tuck where's yummy train came off oh did you just rev it too hard I'm just accelerated off I'm sorry to the um was it called peel peel people amcauto.com best two out of three yeah he listened so that you don't destroy it you don't have to launch it like you're in some kind of Supercar okay you've got to be a bit more gentle with it you're so blowing aggressive if you're gonna put me in here you know exactly what I'm about so you know what I mean fair enough come on [Applause] [Applause] he's done it again his chains come off we're still racing I wasn't even aggressive I didn't even put off it to the floor oh the gear system this is lovely foreign [Applause] race where this is the fastest thing oh dear I think this has just died [Applause] my car's died can someone let me out the door doesn't open right so we've got two three wheelers down so then what exactly happened well the Reliant one completing the standing quarter mile in 22 seconds the tuk-tuk finished in 33 seconds the BMW in 33.4 seconds and the Piaggio in 41.6 seconds the peel didn't finish any of the races right we've got to change the plan you see the robin it's not working the PO is chained to come off again so I've jumped into the PA show Jan is in the Tuk Tuk and so we're gonna race against each other and the ice Setter so there's three remaining let's see what happens never driven ridden whatever it is one of these things before Johnny have you been in a Tuk Tuk before no I've never driven one of these before the problem is the handle is so stiff and obviously you've got a grip here the clutch it's not easy same here I've got the same system as you um I don't think it's particularly easy in the ice Setter either is it really not opens right let's do this oh he's off oh come on oh no come on a couple good jokes it's between the Isetta and the top tuck yeah only smashed that oh I got destroyed [Applause] wow that's the longest quarter mile ever where were you you know what you've got a second vocation here mate honestly you're really good though you were tuk-tuk driving I couldn't change gears and do any of it my hands are freezing cold have you got is it first back then neutral then second then is it the same thing I don't know where any of the gears are really they don't seem to be where they're supposed to be Let's Race again right we're gonna have one more race this time I'm gonna start in second gear because first gear is just like pointless all right no I'm from this gear again no oh they're all gone oh man I can't drive one of these things [Music] it's done 3251 miles I ain't gonna lie that's still a lot of mileage for this thing I can't do it I'm no good at it I can't drive this you can't change gear no I like an automatic gearbox have you never ridden a bike before I used to have a motorbike that was easier okay now we're going with rolling Grace but God knows what speed with all of them in third gear three two one go come on [Music] now I don't have to change gear I can actually win something oh I do have to change going to Fourth here comes the only oh no what an idiot chains gear you Muppet oh no he's like this [Applause] another thing I've lost oh well okay here's a break test when we reach the line for an emergency stop here comes a line oh my sick at least not income last not everything oh my God that was nuts there's some big thanks to the people who've sorted out these three
