bigbadbadge Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 You have done a fantastic job of modelling this car that is lovely to look at but would not want to drive. Great work. I have rolled a 3 wheeler, a Reliant Robin some tears ago, with my truck when he pulled out in front of me , my colleagues wanted a sticker for the door but my boss wouldn't allow🙄 Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 That video of Jeremy Clarkson constantly rolling it, I still find it hilarious. The sack of cement is mentioned as well! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 It's interesting to note that the Bug is now seen as 'cool' (I think it always was), whereas the Supervan, Regal, Robin etc are still the butt of jokes. In fact maybe the Bug is the only 'cool' one of the Reliant 3-wheelers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnE Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Simply perfect. And the Simca 1000 was another car for which a bag of cement was a desirable option... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toftdale Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 You've probably put more thought and effort into this than was ever put into the real car(?) and the result is far better quality than any full size bug - Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) And Airfix are releasing the Bond Bug again this year! 2023 JohnE. I had a Simca 1000 back in the 60's and managed to lose it on a bend and turn it over on its side. So yes a big bag of sand in the front might have balanced out the handling a bit! For a small car the seating was much more comfortable for long journeys compared to a BMC Mini or Hillman Imp.

Natter Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I keep coming back to look at this model as it captures the original so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
