Is your '' friend'' gonna wear a set of tattoos and grow a long beard and wear a leather jacket with a Hells Angel insignia on
his back when he ''drives'' it ?

No not tooooo keen on that. It's the engine you see. The trouble with that engine is that the valves pocket and eventually you won't be
able to cold start it. Mind you, you can sort of cure it, but you have to re-shim the valves every 20k.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

20K?! If it's anything like the typical kit car, that's about 15 years in the future!

Seriously, will that actually go round corners with no wheel in line in any way with any other wheel?

The front is yet to be re worked it will have centre hub steering when it is finished castor and camber adjustment so it can be tracked properly

I love it really! Especially if you keep those colours.
Have one question though. Bearing in mind I know absolutely nothing about bike-and-sidecar dynamics - why all the effort for the one-wheel drive
conversion and the bespoke nearside suspension, rather than leaving the donor's suspension both sides and 2 wheel drive?

Wow Mr Whippy that pic of a blue shed u posted looks like a cross between an Africar and an err Africar. To keep it concour and original it should
really be coated in orange epoxy.
Surely he ain't going to put the gearchange there? It would act as a sort of abs system cos u'd soon let go of the brake lever after
sliding forward and hitting the gear lever.

What exactly is it?
Is it a trike or a motorcycle with powered sidecar?
I recommend you/he do the research first because I am pretty sure the motorcycles with powered side car are no longer legal on UK roads.

I'd be interested to see the gear linkage on that vehicle, Vauxhalls are usually rod change, and although it enters the grearbox at the top, it
faces the wrong way

It doesn't have a powered sidecar. Maybe that's the reason why then?
