New car- advice needed

[georgit79]

Hi guys,

I have a bit of a dilemma (possibly):

I'm considering buying a new car as my trusty Fiat Punto is on her last legs, bless her. Anyway, for as long as I can remember, I've wanted a Robin Reliant, but now I'm nervous that this may harm my pulling power somewhat- Britney (my Fiat) has never given me any problems, but could a Robin be different? Will my street cred be harmed irreversibly?

Please help.

Why not splash out for the extra wheel and buy a Reliant Kitten.

Here's a V8 version.

Will a Robin Reliant harm your street cred ? - if you have to ask that then it will not make any difference to your current street cred.

...and why do the majority of people say Robin Reliant instead of Reliant Robin?

It's always struck me as odd, since I cannot think of any other vehicle which, by common usage, has this name reversal.

Street cred?  What street cred??  You drive a Fiat......anything has to be an improvement.    Try eBay for Reliants...I always wanted a Kitten but there are very few left.

I was the passenger in a reliant robin (bright orange colour) which the driver kept getting up on two wheels - a front and either rear depending upon the corner and speed. Scared the **** out of me.

I think a bit of skill and practice is required but I'm sure you could use this to show off your street cred.

If you roll it it's easy to put back on its wheels.
