Siempre he dicho que me gustan todos los coches. Siempre he dicho que todos los coches van al cielo… pero mi madre decía: “no hay regla sin excepción”. Aquí tenéis 10 excepciones. Hay de todo, no se libra ni Ferrari. Y os adelanto la conclusión: ¿De verdad era necesario? En algunos casos la culpa es de ciertas modas y tendencias, en mi opinión, rozando el ridículo. En otros las normativa, que como es estúpida obliga a los fabricantes a hacer coches estúpidos. También la situación económica, por mala o por buena, es la causa. Y en otras, sencillamente, la torpeza o el mal gusto de la marca son los culpables, y no hay disculpa de ningún tipo. Y ahora, ¡atención!, preparaos para este desfile de coches que, en mi opinión, las marcas se lo podrían haber ahorrado. 1. Ferrari 208 GTB Turbo. ¡Qué vergüenza! 2. HUMMER H2. ¿Se puede ser más “fantasma”? 3. Pontiac Aztek. ¿Más feo? Ni entrenando. 4. Renault Fuego TD. 88 CV y 1200 kg, ¿deportivo? 5. Alfa Romeo Spider JTD. ¿El sonido del viento? 6. BMW X6. SUV y Coupé. ¡Anda ya! 7. SsangYong Rodius. Cambio de opinión. 8. Jaguar X-Type. Ford, ¿por qué lo hiciste? 9. Trabant P50. Sencillamente, horrible. 10. Reliant Robin. Peligroso a cualquier velocidad. Conclusión. Ya la he anticipado: Señores fabricantes de estos coches, señores diseñadores de estos coches, ¿de verdad era necesario? Coche del día. Después de hacer mi lista he estado cotilleando si había listas similares… y las había. Pocas pero las había. Y en algunas incluían al Multipla… ¡y al Citroën M35! Por Dios… ¡cómo se les ocurre! El coche del día es el Citroën M35, un proyecto futurista sobre la base del AMI 6 y con motor rotativo. Un verdadero laboratorio rodante… un coche interesante que Citroën tuvo el valor de fabricar. ¿Salió mal? Seguro, pero la marca aprendió mucho con este modelo.

¿Qué pasa si le quitas una rueda a un coche? No, no me refiero a quitar una rueda a tu coche sino a diseñar un coche con solo tres ruedas… ¡que hay muchos! Pues depende de la habilidad de los ingenieros, porque te aseguro que de estos 10 coches de tres ruedas, alguno, te va a gustar. La primera pregunta que seguro que te haces es, ¿Por qué voy a quitar una rueda a un coche? ¿Qué ventajas tiene? ¿No son peligrosos? La principal razón es la económica, la contamos en un vídeo que se titula “30 microcoches, la imaginación al poder”. Muchos eran de estos coches nacidos en la post guerra eran de tres ruedas por la sencilla razón de ahorrar y simplificar. Sobre todo, si la rueda motriz en única, por supuesto, la trasera, además de una rueda te ahorras el diferencial, los palieres, muchos rodamientos… Y si el precio ajustado es lo principal, es un buen argumento. Pero… no vamos a hablar de microcoches sino de coches de verdad, pequeños, muchos sí, pero coches serios y de verdad. Los ingleses tienen mucho que ver con los coches de 3 ruedas. Si lo piensas bien, tenía su lógica. Por un lado, desde hacía mucho tiempo, y gracias sobre todo a Morgan, los triciclos eran algo frecuente. Y por otro lado ese endiablado clima, neblinoso, frío, húmedo, con abundancia de lluvia y de viento, no era lo mejor para ir en motor… había que ayudar a los ciudadanos a pasar de la moto al coche, aunque fuese de tres ruedas. A la sombra de estas normativas destacó la marca Reliant, quizás los coches de tres ruedas más populares en todos los sentidos. 1. Reliant Regal (1953) El nombre Reliant ha estado ligado a los coches de tres ruedas desde su nacimiento en 1935 y cuenta con muchos modelos que podrían estar en esta lista. 2. Bond Bug (1970) Para los fieles y observadores una aclaración: El Bond está a caballo entre los micro coches y los coches… Tenía un motor 4 cilindros de 700 cm3 y 29 CV que le permitían sobrepasar los 120 km/h. pero con una sola rueda delantera su estabilidad no era muy allá… 3. Reliant Robin (1973) De todos los Reliant de tres ruedas el Robin es el más conocidos. Muchos dicen que por su aparición en Top Gear, pero yo soy de otra opinión: Es que, en sus diversas versiones, se fabricó… ¡durante un período de 30 años! 4. Badsey Bullet (1981) La primera originalidad de este coche no es su estética, muy original, es que es sudafricano… algo no muy habitual. La segunda que, según su creador, Bill Badsey podía alcanzar una velocidad máxima redonda de 200 mph… o lo que es lo mismo, 322 km/h. ¡Miedo da pensarlo! Supongo que de ahí el nombre de “bala Badsey”. 5. Morgan 3 Wheeler (2012) La marca Morgan nació haciendo triciclos haya por el año 1909. Pero es que sigue haciéndolos. El Three Wheeler es el triciclo por antonomasia y se ha vuelto a poner de moda entre otras cosas gracias a sus apariciones en Top Gear, y otros programas de motor, donde hablaban maravillas de las sensaciones al volante de este modelo, muy estable gracias a la anchura de vías delantera. 6. Egochine B (2014) A veces los diseñadores, cuando quieren vender un diseño, “flipan” un poquito. Antes de que veas el coche te digo que su diseñador Paolo De Giusti quería crear un coche de diseño retro-futurista inspirado en una cuchilla de afeitar… tela… vamos a ver el coche ahora… ¿Qué te parece? 7. Elio P5 (2015) Presentado en el Salón de Los Ángeles de 2015, probablemente no llegue a comercializarse, debido a los problemas financieros de Helio Motors, pero este triciclo con tres ruedas, dos puertas y dos plazas dispuestas en tándem, nació con la ambiciosa intención de cambiar la movilidad de los norteamericanos. 8. Morgan UK1909 (2016) Morgan quiere seguir en la brecha con sus triciclos y para eso hay que actualizarlos… ¿cómo? ¡Pues haciéndolos eléctricos! Este nuevo UK1909 de Morgan Motor es el primer triciclo eléctrico de la marca tras 107 tras más de 100 años. 9. Vanderhall Venice Roadster (2016) Este coche está fabricado en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica…¿he dicho coche? Pues no es del todo cierto, porque en unos estados de USA es un coche y en otros, como el de California, está considerado legalmente como una moto... ¡Estos yanquis! 10. Polaris Slingshot (2023) Este aparato, si quieres, te lo puedes comprar mañana mismo. Muchos conocéis a la marca Polaris como un fabricante especializado en motos de nieve y quads, para ahora también hace coche, aunque sean de tres ruedas… Bonus track: Messerschmitt KR-202 Sport (2022) Para nuestro extra hemos escogido un coche de tres ruedas que, supuestamente, va a ser fabricado en España. Y es que un grupo de ingenieros alemanes afincados en Nerja (Málaga). Coche del día. ¿Es un coche, es una moto? No sé, pero el Carver One es raro de narices. Porque es de tres ruedas, se conduce con manillar, se inclina… pero solo la rueda delantera.

This story has an unfortunate ending for those of you with as they say “a nervous disposition! “There was a violent hammering on the side door of our house and we opened it to behold an accident right on our doorstep.Parked on the road and just a few feet from our driveway entrance was a Reliant Robin three-wheel car. Some way in front and on the same side of the road was a small normal four-wheel saloon. Who actually hammered on our door I cannot rightly remember now, but it could have been one of the Picker children who lived just across from our garden on the south side of the house.

Ever wondered what the Coke Truck is in real life – a Freightliner, Scania or Kenworth?  Or how about which car Chris Rea was in when he wrote ‘Driving Home For Christmas'.  And what type of Dodge was it that the Beach Boys said Santa used to deliver gifts?  Somehow, a Volvo 340, Chrysler Alipne, Skoda Estelle, Lotus Sunbeam, Reliant Robin and a Renault Alliance 11 also make appearances for a reason that becomes apparent later in this week's Car-Chum.

Day 3, Part 2: Frighted with False Fires - Fire in a crowded theatre - or even a sparsely-populated one for that matter - is hardly the sort of thing one likes to encourage. Especially when the theater in question is the Aldergate Playhouse, which is buried deep underground and has a distressingly mobile museum perched on top of it. At least this time it's not *my* life that's in danger. No, just my dignity. Such as it is. There's rather a lot of mustard on these pages; I'm afraid I had my lunch that day with rather more enthusiasm than technique. I plead mitigating circumstances - I was hungry to start with, and that was before an afternoon featuring ancient monoliths, deadly chandeliers, and Baz's awful yellow Reliant Robin.

Seguro que más de uno habrá oído hablar de “El coche de las viudas”. En España esta denominación la inauguró el Renault Dauphine, pero luego su ha usado en muchos otros coches. Y es que ha habido coches que, realmente, no eran fáciles de conducir... Hoy os traemos 10 de estos coches. Los primeros automóviles eran verdaderamente difíciles de conducir, requerían de profesionales, los llamados en francés Chauffuer, que ha dado lugar a la palabra chófer en castellano. Además estos profesionales no solo conducían, sino que se hacían cargo del mantenimiento básico del coche, que era muy meticuloso. Os voy a contar una anécdota sobre Bugatti, lo que recomendaba la marca antes de arrancar Tras la segunda guerra mundial los coches se popularizan, se estandarizan los elementos de conducción, por ejemplo, la posición de los pedales, y las marcas se esfuerzan en que sean fáciles y cómodos de llevar. Y, con más o menos acierto, lo consiguen, aunque siempre ha habido coches que exigen más a su conductor o que, incluso pueden llegar a ser peligrosos. Hoy la electrónica permite que coche de solo propulsión posterior y muchos caballos sean seguros… pero hoy nos vamos a centrar en coches de post guerra, fabricados en serie y de la era pre-electrónica. Os he traído una muestra de estos coches… no están todos los que son, ¡pero son todos los que están! 1. BMW 323i E21 (1979) ¿Cuál era el pecado de este coche? Dos obvios: ser propulsión posterior y no tener ningún control de tracción, que en 1979 ni se conocía ni se imaginaba. 2. Citroën 2 CV (1948) El caso del 2 CV era completamente distinto. Tenía estabilidad de sobra para sus prestaciones, que eran muy, pero que muy escasas. El primer modelo llevaba un motor de 375 cm3 que daba 9 CV. 3. Chevrolet Corvair (1959) Este coche fue protagonista de un libro titulado “Inseguro a Cualquier Velocidad”. Tenía el motor colgado por detrás del eje trasero, como otros muchos coches de está lista… algo que no es casual. 4. Dodge Viper RT/10 (1992) En esta selección he tratado huir de superdeportivos… pero no me he resistido a la tentación de incluir al Viper. ¿Por qué? Porque a diferencia de otros deportivos americanos, el Grupo Chrysler quiso llegar al público europeo pensando que su modelo era avanzado técnicamente y muy refinado… 5. Porsche 911 (1963) Otro coche potente y con motor atrás, sinónimo de coche complicado de conducir. Curiosamente esta dificultad en su conducción fue básica para convertirlo en mito, sobre todo en los USA. 6. Reliant Robin (1979) He metido este coche aunque legalmente, en su país, se le considerase una moto. Fue muy popular en el Reino Unido, por su precio y su favorable fiscalidad. Pero volcar era muy fácil, tanto que Reliant reforzó las esquinas de su carrocería. 7. Renault Dauphine (1956) Según los mercados y las versiones este coche se llamo Dauphine, Ondine o Gordini. Fue el coche que acuño el termino de “el coche de las viudas” fue este, en España denominado Dauphine. 8. Tatra 87 (1936) Tenía un V8 refrigerado por aire detrás y la misma suspensión oscilante que muchos coches de esta lista, con el inconveniente de que este coche corría mucho, más de 160 km/H. 9. Trabant 601 (1963) Este coche es un muestra de cómo un coche con tracción delantera también puede ser peligroso. 10. Volkswagen Beetle (1938) Otro diseño de preguerra que tuvo una larga vida en la post guerra, en Europa sus diferentes evoluciones hasta 1978 en México nada menos que hasta 2003. Coche del día. Triumph Dolomite Sprint, el primer coche moderno de gran serie con cuatro válvulas por cilindro presentado en 1973.

This special New Year's episode of the podcast features a robot too dangerous to compete, two very different definitions of 'industrial', a forklift that is somehow not 'industrial', and a Reliant Robin. The Roasting Robots Podcast is a humorous, sarcastic look at the different kinds of robots that have been entered into Battlebots competitions over the years. We love them, and we're glad they were made (or sometimes were never built), but that doesn't mean we won't crack some jokes at their expense. Each episode the robots we roast are chosen completely at random from 20 years of Battlebots history.

Life often throws bad things our way but it’s how we react that matters. In this episode, Paul reads an extract from his book Speaking From OUR HEARTS , where Kevin Searcey details some of the most difficult parts of his life. Listen for how to stay loving in your life, and how to learn from someone who has thought deeply about who they are. Who Am I? is a question we all ask ourselves, listen ahead to hear Kevin's answer to that question. Key Takeaways Who Am I? This is a question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives. Kevin tries to answers that question in terms of his own life. Moving back with my parents it really hit home what his identity was. Changing from a husband and the bread-winner to moving home with his parents, as well as having a painful knee operation from a martial arts injury.  Kevin missed his kids extremely badly. This was when he first started questioning 'Who am I? He sold his beloevd Reliant Robin. By now, he was feeling sorry for himself, with a crippling knee injury and a mind full of negative thoughts.  He believed his kids deserved a better dad. Kevin's heart skipped a beat when he finally spoke to the blonde woman from the dance floor, who eventually turned out to be his soulmate. His world became challenged however, when she told me she was already married; although they did build a good friendship over the next few weeks. Kevin then got a one bedroom flat from the housing association and tried to save money, so he could go to the nightclub 'Turners'; as well as being able to have some money to spend on his children. Over time, the two of them fell in love. Prosperity is usually linked to financial rewards; but for Kevin, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Love and shared family are more important.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Paul Lowe is the founder of PaulLoweHEARTS – which has a three-fold purpose.  Firstly, to help you make the transition from Pain to Purpose; secondly, to get your inspirational messages and stories out into the world and thirdly, to support charitable organisations in their development & fund-raising.
