any colour as long as it's blue

 

Nice!

For young'un read 19

 

Haven't seen one for years. Probably been phased out since series 3 BMWs dropped in price.

 

Bloodyhell, I'd forgotten about those

Martin in Wombwell had one - used to bomb along the high street in it

 

Used to be one....

parked in those invalid houses (no offence meant if you know someone who lives there) near Woodhall Flats in Darfield. Haven't seen it recently but it was blue like that one posted above.

 

Martin???? nt

 

They were all blue

I reckon .. never seen one that wasn't

Saw a few of them doing quite a lick, must have had a decent engine in for weight. Like a motorbike or reliant robin.

 

RE: Bloodyhell, I'd forgotten about those

Martin's got a car (adapted for him) now, Cazi, but, he still bombs along the High Street. (lol)

 

RE: Bloodyhell, I'd forgotten about those

Aww, bless him. I haven't seen him for years. He seemed to be walking much better when I saw him last. What was his last name? I can't remember for the life of me. Cheeky monkey he is, allus had a smile for me.

 

It seems they are now illegal

A nice article here: http://www.3wheelers.com/endinva.html

I guess thay have the Motability scheme and such like now.

 

Yeh, I can't remember his surname. Hopefully, OldRed can help me out with that one nt

 

There used to be loads of them round the pitch at Chelsea

probably more likely to be porches and bmw's now!

 

Not very PC but...

commonly known as spastic chariots!

 

RE: Not very PC but...

&quot;spaz chaz&quot; I think was the term, a mates uncle had one, you could get about dozen kids in it.</p>

Think some bikers ended up makeing a trike out of it.</p>

 

good article that

i thought they were quite rapid - 600cc and 82mph top speed!

 

RE: Not very PC but...

spazmobile in my day

 

Invalid carriages at Stamford Bridge.....

I can well recall them all parked on the dog track (or whatever it was?) and there seemed to be loads - all sky blue! Back in those days Chelsea's ground was a proper shithole. Did anyone go there when we won 2-1 in 81/82? It was a bit naughty that day. british Rail laid on a special and i think there were only about 70 people that went on it. Most travelled by coach.

Sorry cazi, I'm stumped, ..... Martin's a bit like Fudge, not many peopleknow him by is surname. I only got to know Fudges real name, when I once had to write it on his supporters club membership card, back in the 70's.
