@@insertnamehere6960 I managed 70 down a twisty road. Managed to keep up with a fiat Panda through the area around Goodwood hill. The trick with them is to never brake into a corner. Brake before then accelerate round the corner, this helps stop the weight going into the front corner, keeping weight on the back. Only time I got it to tip was when I went round a mini roundabout too fast while braking with a mate in the passenger seat. All that happened was the chassis scraped the ground a bit. It was a fun car I miss owning it, but it was also an unreliable pain in the arse. Working on the engine is fun because there's hardly any access.

Bro was personally offended over his 3 wheeled car
My late Mrs. had a motorcycle license and had 3 Reliants over the years ,which she drove like a Demon . Nobody would travel with her ,but during a period with a broken leg I couldn"t drive and after many weeks we all wondered how we were still alive . Never once did she damage one of the cars ! . Can"t say the family"s nerves are any good tho .
I wanna have the same vibe as the owner a guy walks up to ya and asks if your car ever flipped and is willing to do it for a vid “fuck yeah let’s go”
they still look fun
My father owned a Reliant robin and it would tip over in the strong winds. Children walking past would also come and tip it over. In the end it was just too much hassle.
Inherent design instability. That's why the traditional motorized 3 wheeler was banned in the U.S. Kind of amazing that the fix for it was to simply change the travel direction, i.e. the Can-Am Spider!

The main problem, I believe, was the reliant’s center of mass is quite high - the car sits high and is top heavy. Paired with the awkward engine and wheel combination, you get the mess it was.
Oh no, at least it didn't flip... Seems like that was what most robin "situations" would have been. With an open differential you won't get enough force to continue it into a full rollover (easily).
I had a few drifts out of mine in the wet. Had it on 2 wheels a few times but as long as you kept your foot on the throttle it wouldn't bottom out like this. Only happens if you let off or brake while turning

It was the Reliant Robin enthusiast driving his own car that almost flipped it.
There used to be a brown one of these outside of my town park but I haven’t seen it in years
In the video game Wreckfest, they have an expy of the Regal Supervan (another three wheeler) and I could not get it to roll, no matter how hard I tried 😂 it was exactly like this, the front panels rubbing against the road.
My grandad rolled his Relient Robin (locally called the 3 wheeled pig - as it was made in Tamworth where pigs are common)
From what I heard the robin from TG had a heightened suspension, so with one big guy driving really roughly, even without the higher suspension it would've been scrapping the arch just as many times.
Ten a penny in the UK 1970/80s, used to see loads with lefthand side road rash wounds.
I remember seeing one of these when I was little and being so confused
Clearly didn't flip at first as there was a passenger evening the car out. As the northern chap said in the original episode, the best way to stop it from rolling is a bag of cement on the passenger seat
A van version overtook my bicycle down a hill, many decades ago in Dorset. It then went to overtake the car in front. It certainly did roll over, multiple times and in quite the dramatic fashion too. The woolly jumper of the loose lad in the back unravelled after getting caught on shards of fibreglass. The tyres being carried in the back flew out and disappeared over a hedge and couldn't be found. Mercifully everyone came out ok, but the ease in which it so rapidly got out of shape has convinced me never to go near one of them.
Well, respect jeremy for his work
My sister had one of these, as a few years ago until the law changed they could be driven by people who only had a motorcycle licence just like my sister. But this wasn't the worst 3 wheeler car on the roads of the UK. They were called the invacar, part of the disabilitiy drivers scheme. EVERY single one was duck egg blue, with handle bar steering and a 2 stroke engine. They were deemed unsafe so the government brought alot of them back and scrapped them. The advantage of them was that 99% of them were owned by the elderly so at least other drivers knew who to avoid!!! These motoring oddities are now mostly found in museums.
By coincidence I was watching tv yesterday and police film of a Reliant Robin popped up in a reality / documentary programme. It amazed us that a Robin could go so fast, and it took 90⁰ turns at speed without difficulty, almost shaking off the pursuing police car. My grandfather had a Reliant Regal, he sold it quickly, saying he didn't feel safe, but I think that was just because he was used to four wheels. He hated automatic transmission cars too
The car tapping its bumper against the road sounded like a critical hit in Pokemon.

Add a fifth wheel like that slightly out front in of the “front wheels” and make the “front wheels” slightly wider than the back, making a kind of star/pentagon pattern with the all wheels when you look at it from above, then it might not flip at all?
Lol. Plus you can see all the bondo under the scratches. It's happened many times before
They were super easy to tip over by hand. Was a fun game
I love top gear and I still watch it every week
I laughed so hard at that segment of that episode of Top Gear. 🤣
The robin reliant did suffer from this problem, like the suzuki jimny had its rollocer issues. when i was young it was common to see robins with a big heavy toolchest on the passenger seat to even out the weight. The camber of the road played its part too.
my old man ha one in the early 70's. Yes it was alwas tipping over. But it was fun :)
Talking to people that used to drive them here in uk used to roll them all the time
