 Reliant Robin caught doing 70mph. Confusion ensues. What do you call a Reliant Robin on top of a hill? A miracle. Unless you're a member of the Cambridgeshire Police Force, in which case you'd call it an everyday menace to society. Gordon Maltby, 46, has just finished a three day court case for dangerous driving after the police 'caught' him in his Reliant Robin (with three passengers) overtaking their unmarked Mondeo at 70mph in a 40mph zone. Thankfully, he won the case after the court was shown that the car couldn't reach that speed. When asked how he felt about the verdict he delivered a Del-Boy esque 'Lovely Jubbly'. On a more serious note, the divorced father-of-four added: "I had four appearances at the magistrates court and the three-day trial must have cost tens of thousands of pounds. It was just farcical. I am a bit angry because I have lost so much time and money going to court." Mr Maltby, from Waterbeach, near Cambridge, insisted he sensibly overtook the police car at 40mph after it had slowed down outside a car showroom.The allegation of dangerous driving, he added, was "rubbish". He was backed by independent accident investigator Graham Oakley, who said the Robin was incapable of doing 70mph with four people on board. The former Essex traffic policeman also explained it could not have lifted its front wheel off the ground or created sparks - as had been claimed by the police - as it has a fibreglass body. Nicola Devas, defending, told the court the officers had "over-egged the pudding". Mr. Maltby said that he drives Robins exclusively because he only has a motorbike licence and isn't allowed to drive normal cars. He also commented that the fastest he's driven a Robin was around 55-60mph. On a dual-carriage way. On his own. From PistonHeads. |

 Achieving 0-60mph in under five seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 140mph at 92 miles per gallon plus impressive handling and extremely low emissions, this striking 3-wheeler from FuelVapor Technologies looks to have all the answers. The "alé" (pronounced alay) concept car is described as running on "fuel vapors" rather than liquid fuel meaning it has a greater than 25% better fuel to air ratio than standard gasoline engines and this, coupled with the use of aerodynamic design and lightweight materials is the key to its outstanding performance.
