twobone Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 This would certainly turn alot of heads and would sound fantastic http://www.twintechcars.com/
MHKflyer52 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Kind of neat. Has the look of an Atom and the price and has a definite look that would be a WTF is that by most car nuts. I like the way they accomplished their windshield wipers....manual....close to the same setup I have for my 7.
WestTexasS2K Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Looks like acceleration is lack luster. It was all he could do to spin the tire from a standstill. For that kind of money you can get alot more car for half the price. The chassis and suspension look well done. Give it 150 more hp then it might be something to talk about. A VW transaxle isnt known for its smooth shifting. IMHO
jimrankin Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Interesting suspension set up and tube chassis but your right about the drive train being lacking. Even a big twin just can't turn out the HP needed to stand out at that price, and no matter how light the car is made it's still a lot heavier than a cycle frame and wheels. Anybody see the old V twin air cooled Morgan influence in this?
S1Steve Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Jim, First thing I said is, Looks like the Morgan three wheeler . I think the Morgan had a BSA or Norton engine. They were alittle before my time !!! Steve
scannon Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Here's a rundown of the various engines used in the Morgan three wheel cars: http://www.morgan3w.de/ then click on Engines on the upper left side of the page. I'm not aware of BSA or Norton ever making a V twin engine.
jimrankin Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks for the Morgan link. Always loved those cars but they were just about as impractical as the 7's we drive now. I had a '59 for a short time in 1965 that I traded my 57 Chevy BelAir for. Had to dump it pretty quick as it had a Triumph engine in it that was better on gas than it was on oil and the brakes, top, defroster, electrics and just about everything else on the car were either gone or soon to go and the New England winter was closing in on me fast.
rnr Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 There were a couple of the Morgan 3 wheelers at the Monterey Historics last month http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4949031999_1faaa0f46a.jpg Morgan Super Sport 3 wheeler by rnair, on Flickr
S1Steve Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Skip, Thats a cool link, Thanks for the info !!!! Steve
jimrankin Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Hey Rahul, Are there any cars left that you haven't snapped a photo of yet???? LOL
11Budlite Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Since we've drifted to Morgans how about a Harley-powered Morgan rep: http://cycle-car.com/index.htm
WestTexasS2K Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 I like this Morgan style car it uses VW and Moto Guzzi http://reversetrike.com/blackjack-zero.html
