Mama Said...

It was like it happened in rare basis when my mother point me out some kind of a weird car, mommy said that "Do you like this car?". If I look at my car where my mommy pointed, it was like this car's too ugly. I mean hey, that's my mom. She has no knowledge about cars.

Anyway, as I spent several moments watching Top Gear episodes, I just saw some of the most weird looking cars I have ever seen and imagine if my mom point out one of these...

1) Reliant Robin


I could only imagine that this three-wheeler was actually the car I saw on Mr. Bean as the blue car that keeps causing accidents. What makes it so weird that this car is seen on Top Gear. Most notable Top Gear Reliant Robin moments were when the Reliant Robin turned into a space shuttle (and ended in a failure)...


...and when Jeremy Clarkson's behind the wheel of the Robin, it made several crashes.


If most of the people saw the Reliant Robin, chances are that they will say that they saw this one on Mr. Bean. tsk...tsk...

2) Peel P50


Even weirder than the Reliant Robin is the Peel P50. Surely, it's just the same three-wheeler but the third wheel's on the back. Unlike the Robin, it doesn't do crashes, Mr. Bean style. The Peel P50 is built from the Isle Of Man in the 1960's and this is the world's smallest production car according to Guinness World Records. Sadly though, there's no Reverse Gear and if you're stuck, you should need help from someone to pull you out. In Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson drove the Peel P50 inside the BBC Television Centre while he was attending at some kind of a seminar. Wouldn't believe that this small car can get inside a building?

Too bad I'm fat and I can't get inside the Peel P50.


3) G-Wiz


This isn't a car, it's just plain rubbish. On TopGear, this G-WIZ is slower than a table.Imagine if this one's an RC car but hey, Top Gear already did made an RC G-Wiz. Rest assured that the G-WIZ is not a car, it's just as pointless as a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe.

4) Marauder


This behemoth is unstoppable on its tracks. It can ram through walls, outsmart the towing trucks, crush through cars, and it can even survive against explosions...almost. No wonder a country like South Africa made the world's most unstoppable car, at least when Top Gear said during the Season 17 opener. Imagine if the terrorists are using this Marauder...



5) Ariel Atom


This is the speedster that ruined Jeremy Clarkson's face. The Ariel Atom is definitely the next best thing for a go-kart but no. This is not a go-kart, this is the ultimate in British lightweights since the Caterham and the Lotus Elise. Back then, the Ariel Atom is powered from a supercharged Honda K20A engine, which produces almost 300HP of power. There was also the Ariel Atom V8 which produces about 500HP of power but it has a power-to-weight ratio of 900hp/ton. That's twice as powerful as you get from the Bugatti Veyron or a Ferrari Enzo.


...couldn't come closer. Big or small, they look weird on the roads ahead.
