Best part is the 5 point harness he is wearing! hahahaha

I just want to know what is he driving? a Renault? Can any UK'ers tell me!?
That three wheeler would do well with a nicely done AAZ in it ^.^

ps. By the way, that's me in my jetta when, if ever, it runs again

pps. It is a Renault after all. an R5.

Yep, it's a Renault 5 GT turbo. Fun cars back in the day, but because of the small 1.4 turbo engine, insurance wasn't to bad, but the engines could produce a lot of hp if done right (or blow head gaskets every week if not). This led them to become a boy racers car. I've worked on some dreadful examples lol

I actually have that Ali-G film on DVD! He was a funny bloke in his early stuff. But I'm not sure it will travel well outside the UK.

Good find, will have to fire up the DVD player now, bang goes my afternoon!

Hehe. Yeah. Used to be a program here in the UK called 'Mr Bean' which had a similar thing every episode. Used to be an OAP in a Reliant Robin 3 wheeler that either got pushed out the way or fell over. Used to be the best bit lol

Yeah hahaha Bean used his mini to boss his sorry butt around. The best scene of that is mr.bean just RIPPPING around a parking tower to find a spot and the three wheeler is just about to get into it but the tiny mini just zips right through the gap and bumps it just a tiny bit and over it goes! ahahhahahaha

I wish there were Renault R5 Turbo's here
