Haynes pig anyone?
My mate's dad had started to build a roadster, he all but completed the chassis but reckons he couldn't find a donor sierra (funny that every time I looked on Ebay there was always quite a few). anyway I saw him today and he's turning it into a mid engined trike with plastic pig front suspension...............could be entertaining on track
 .D.

Yup that's the plastic pig allright. TT I'm with you, it annoys me intensely when people make that mistake and call it a "robin reliant" just like it annoys me when they say Del Boy's was a Robin Reliant when it was actually a Reliant Regal Supervan. That picture is of a Reliant Robin Supervan or possibly a Rialto but its definitely not a Regal. And before anyone asks no I have never owned one but I drove one once with a Lotus twin cam motor in it, that was interesting
!D.

I had to correct the "Cars of the Stars" museum in Keswick as their website said Robin Reliant!
... And I have never had one but I would love to own a SE6B Scimitar Reliant or a 1.8T Saber Reliant It's like my 6yr old that keeps calling the vacuum cleaner a Hoover.. It's not a Hoover it's a Dirt Devil you think he would get it right after 2 years of being told! TT

I should have remembered the Robin was the Plastic Pig, but I have never seen one in person, for some reason they never caught on in the U.S.. Perhaps because if you owned one here, you would be guaranteed to never get laid? I have seen it frequently on video, I own the Complete Mr. Bean DVD set.
