	My 3-wheeler pictures that make me smile.

This is a photo that I recently discovered from my University days. During the second year I lived with three ladies and when one left, her room was temporarily used by a chap called Mick Gillan who was, amongst other things, in to Photography. We had lots of strange photos taken around the house in various poses but this was one taken in my Reliant Robin.

The idea was to turn the wipers on and look out of the window as though there was a UFO or something flying overhead.




	Elvis sees UFO in Reliant Robin! (What a newspaper heading that would make?)

Someone even stood there with a watering can pouring water over the car as the photo was taken so it was all very bizarre and quite funny at the time. Mick also took photos of my Robin at night time with the lens left open so that it would create a blurr on the photo. I had to drive round the block again and again and again until we found the right speed that looked best on camera. Sadly I never saw those photos as he left soon afterwards but the photo above always makes me smile. The photographs are signed so if he ever became famous and I was poor I could sell them!!!


	Note: For any Reliant Robin drivers about the air scoop on the bonnet that was off an old Skoda Estelle. I cut a whole in the bonnet and screwed the air scoop over it then painted it to match the body. It worked quite well as well keeping the carb cool in summer.
