<div dir="ltr">The concept is interesting anyway... After-all, the Reliant Robin was built for many years in the UK. I drove one once and it scared the bangers and mash out of me! Still, they were pretty useful in many parts of the UK and I guess you still see them from time to time carefully chasing someone on a bicycle...<div><br></div><div>The Lyons LM2 Streamliner on the other hand appears to be a magnificent beast if it does, in fact, go into production as promised. Should be one at the NY show this month if anyone is going to that. I find the body beautiful and the 1700 hp V8 twin turbo should pin the ears back on the competition - if there is any....</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.lyonsmotorcar.com/#!lm2-streamliner-specs/cmyl">http://www.lyonsmotorcar.com/#!lm2-streamliner-specs/cmyl</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!!<br>Jim</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 4:13 PM, Ewing <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oldsaabguy@comcast.net" target="_blank">oldsaabguy@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I live in Shreveport, former home to GM Trucks and current home to Elio.<div><br></div><div>If this were a hundred years ago Mr. Elio would have a small wagon and promise to bring rain/cure your ills with his snake oil. </div><div><br></div><div>The guy has ONE car (Ok there may be a second one but it hasn't been seen).
