I would love one in GT, But I do wish people wouldn't make claims about the vehicles inherent stability issues, Both my brother and a close friend have both owned Reliant Robins and neither of them ever fell over once, They are great little cars designed much out of necessity like the Japanese Kei cars. Iconic if you will and the tuning potential of these cars is fantastic.

Well, driving sensibly won't roll a Robin all the time, of course, but Laguna Seca's corkscrew (or any tough racing corner at high speed) will.

The thread title is wrong, the "or later" part should be dropped.

OP won't do it as he hasn't logged in since June.
 
I don't go trawling through all of the suggestions, so I never have seen this one.
