6 Wheels on my wagon and I'm still rollin along

Boat manufacturer's have stuck more hulls onto a mono, so why can't a car company stick more wheels on their wagon, just as Tyrrell did back in 76 on a F1 car, seem to remember motor magazine in the late 70's showing a giant 6 wheel car one with a turbine and another with an Allison plane engine the Batcar's of their day

If it catches on can you imagine a Nissan Micra with 6 wheels

Remember that as well, was featured in the old Motor Car magazine as well which was combined with Autocar back in the 80's looks like it's powered by a V8 Chevy, the old Marina lovers would love the Marina style rear lights, look a bit at odds with the rest of the futuristic for it's day design ... all this 6 wheel stuff will have Pash squeezing another set of wheels under the front arches of his rallying weapon so as not to be outdone

I wanted to hire the modern one for our wedding for Vicki to arrive in, but Vicki wasn't having any of it, fortunately.

Did not realise the Thunderbird's car was for hire sounds like fun defo one up on any old limo and the new one made for great viewing when Top Gear drove the giant thing around some small villages

Could you imagine peoples faces if the new one towed a pink Phantom to the marina slip
