Who can remember/do... 6 years 7 months ago #180474

I was offered a lift home from work in a colleagues reliant Robin. ..he had motorbikes and this mustard colour Robin. ..give you a lift he said...I replied no I'm all right. ..thinking I can't be seen in that it was uncool....goon he said you will be home in a jiffy...funny that was his knick name has he used the word all the time...we were the first out of the factory and I said go on then...the pig fired up but kept stalling...it won't run right till she's warmed up he said...4 more attempts of starting and the whole factory had gone home...eventually it went down the road jerking has jiffy adjusted the choke ...the humming of the transmission reminded me of being in a old tram....seeing people I knew I leaned forward with my head down pretending to tie my shoe lace....how I laugh at this now and would like a drive in one just for a laugh./fun factor.

Jiffy even had a plastic pig glued to his dashboard...it wasn't stuck on with any finesse...it was like the glue was oozing out of the pig...my dad commented your later than usual!.....yeah had a lift in one of those 3 wheelers...I chuckled has he looked at me with a vacant stare.

Jiffy had commented the pig needed a crypton tune...my thoughts were that it needed a engine overhaul.

Yeah after the robin shuttle project failed ...the curtains finally closed when the British army turned down this robin for a replacement for the land rover.

But I must say..I would of loved a lift home in one of them.
