Now that is a idea that could be done over here. But I don't fish,I may have to pick it up again.

Is it really worse than the E. German Trabant?

ANYTHING that starts out, "well it does have a 2 stroke engine" is a non-starter in my book.

If i'm not mistaken, that car was featured on top gear when they showcased a bunch of old soviet union era cars.

What room? I don't see past the leg...

Looks like it provides plenty of leg room

I seen that they was built for people that had only one leg so it could be driven by war vets, a whopping 27 to 41 hp between 66 and 72
