'bout time for a DIFFERENT post, here it is,
I thought I should do a bit more of an audience focused post this week. So, I ask you, fanbase,
What is The Quirkiest Car Ever Made?
I propose the Meshershmitt Tiger. After World War II ended, Mesherschmitt were not allowed to make figher planes, for obvious reasons. It used a canopy from the more famous kind of Meshershmitt, the WWII German airplane manufacturer. That's not even the best part. Because it was powered by a 2-cycle engine, to get reverse, you have to twist the key the other way, and it is possible to get all the gears going backwards! Here is a picture of the little car with a VERY VERY chequered past:

They don't have to be cars you like (I really don't like the Tiger because it was built by ex-nazis), just cars that you find quirky.
ReplyDeleteHow about the Citroen Cactus 2014? It is named after a cactus and was so weird looking no one bought it.
ReplyDeleteThat may also be due to the fact that the two tone was rubber! Most people don't want to drive a car that looks(and that's about as fast) as a bumper car.
DeletePenpie's nephew here, how about the Reliant Regal possible the most Un-regal car ever. The Jensen GT is up there as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Regal is fairly pathetic. It makes 23 horsepower, and the same car that Mr. Bean hated! The GT is cool, though. A shooting brake Jensen-Healy? Yes please! Of course, because it is a classic British car, it may become a shooting break(down).
DeleteI like the Jensen, but it IS quirky.
ReplyDeleteQuirky doesn't neccisarily mean bad. For instance, SAABs are quirky, but are great cars.
DeleteIs this a mechanical frog? Ribbit? It is insulting the frog...
ReplyDeleteI might have had a toy car once that looked like this one..beep..beep..
Paint it green, and put the anti-shatter-glass-headlights-racing-tape on the headlights. Congragulations, you now own a motorized Kermit.
DeleteGuys from work are submitting their quirky car choices to me and I will compile a top 10 list and post it here.
