I don't think this has been posted, at least I "searched" Punaweb to no avail:

It's an introduction to the Peel P50, which might be the answer to Hawaii's (and everybody's) skyrocketing fuel prices. Besides, it's a spot of British telly, with typical Brit humor.

Have a good day. I am.

Aloha! ;-)

Mark -

I haven't viewed the youtube clip... but I did look at this picture of the Peel P50.

I'm almost 6 feet tall and there is no way you would catch me in that thing.[^]

Shall try to cut out some piece of my life for the time it takes look at the Tube instead of walk in my garden.
Notwithstanding Tube information, ONE BIG, SINGLE, MONO-SOLUTION does not pass the smell test.

The British telly-caster was 6'5". You don't have to watch the whole thing, it's kinda long. But it is worth a look. Guiness Book of World Records, "Smallest Production Automobile".

I just viewed the youtube clip (damn work filters)... noticed the guy hit his head as he was climbing in... and I definitely don't think he could fit a sack of groceries in there with him.

Big Island people tend to love their gas guzzling trucks. (Often using their main vehicle as their work vehicle allowing a tax break)

I just can't imagine a dude the size of a "Big Hawaiian" fitting into that buggah.

No way. It's just a curiosity, but the point is valid: bigger is not better, or smarter.
