100 MPG

I really do not enjoy the usual comentary by Jeremy but that was rather funny.

 

love the comment about the "sport" version at the end.

 

The club website has a heap of photos, worth a look.

What a great little car although not made for arthritic or fat people.

 

Okay, that's a great video! But I wouldn't want to drive one. Too noisy. If he had been driving a Zap Xebra he wouldn't have had to shout. Carrying it into the building and driving around the office was pretty good, but the stink must've been awful. Imagine a moped farting its exhaust around your office.

You do know that Top Gear is known to have these scripted and make it a joke? The show is mainly more entertainment than car review.

Guess one of the reason I love the british top gear/fifth gear than any boring US car review tv show.

Daniel, there's your range extender. You put one of those in your xebra and launch it when you need more range. Sort of like a launch.

 

Very clever. You know he purposely tipped it onto 2 wheels going around that corner

I presumed this was scripted. When he drives past and people in the office don't look up it's pretty obvious. Or when the guy runs out onto the street and turns him around. However, unless they actually built this thing as a scam, they really do appear to have a car that a big strong guy can pick up and move like a wheelbarrow, that can drive down a narrow office corridor, and that can drive into an office-building elevator.

Do you suppose it would fit in the back seat? Allan could maybe get it onto his Xebra PK, but it would be a tight squeeze getting it in the back door of my SD.

On the other hand, I bet it puts out more pollution than a big SUV or pickup truck.

I did that in my Xebra during my driving test. In the quick-swerve maneuver.

 

It isn't a knock up, they were telling the truth about them being made on the Isle of Man. There is a Peel Car Club, you can buy a restored Peel P50 for about $50,000US although replicas sell for a fraction of that.
