Nice. There's a Ural dealership right down the street from my dad's house.

I saw a very interesting 3 wheel (two in the front) single seat tube frame, bare unpainted aluminum bodywork ?car? driving out of my neighborhood down one of the more main back roads over the weekend. The front track was really wide and the total package was really low. Driver sat inside it, not on top like a can am bike. Wish I arrived 2 mins earlier so I could see where he came from. A couple days earlier a yellow exige was going back and forth up my street.

I've seen 3-wheelers occasionally. Saw one in Scotland back in '99 -- driver and passenger sat side by side, steering wheel to turn the from 2 wheels, and a motorcycle powertrains in back. Saw something similar here in AZ a few years ago...

Both were similar to this product http://www.campagnamotors.com

But since Morgan brought back their 3-wheeler, I've seen them at least 4 times (including one in Vegas a couple weeks ago)

I've seen the T-Rex a couple of times also. This was different than anything I've ever seen before, more open and tubular like an Atom, wider front track. I wish I had snapped a picture. Closest thing I could find via google was a Polaris Slingshot, except this thing was mid engined



I think it may be someone's own attempt at something in that 917 replica vein from BAT.

The thing I saw in the UK was not a T-Rex -- was more like the pic you posted, but with a body on it (very rounded -- it was the late 90s)...
