my name is mwd

Whilst out shopping earlier today Laura and I spotted this neat looking vehicle:

It’s a Scorpian III – a three wheeled custom car made around a 1200cc engine from a BMW K series motorbike (the shaft drive which gives it away is just out of shot). Very pretty, and looks great fun. We chatted to the owner who seemed quite pleased, even with no reverse gear (he had to push it out of the parking space). And I suspect the very nice orange and black vehicle behind it has more luggage space :) But very nice all the same.

Looking at the Grinnall web site they also do a 4 wheel version, the Scorpian IV, based around a 1.8 litre Audi car engine, and also Trikes based out of BMW and Triumph bikes, which I imagine will set my Mum wishing she had 15 grand to spare :)
