Another small car....

PEEL Trident

Remember the Peel P50? The smallest car we saw on Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson drove one through the BBC Television Centre? Heh, turns out the P50 has one of its brothers. Sure, it was from the makers of the ridiculously small P50 but this here is the Peel Trident.

On the Small Cars episode of the USA version of Top Gear, it was proven that Rutledge Wood and the Scion iQ sucked at this challenge against Tanner Foust and his smart fortwo and Adam Ferrera and his Fiat 500. As punishment, Rut has to drive something smaller than the iQ.

Unlike the P50, which has a very complicating way to get inside, the Trident is simple; lift up the lid which is somewhat reminded us of the Jetsons' flying machine, get inside, flip down the lid, and then you're off. Critics said that this is the original flying saucer that is almost cheaper than walking, fully road legal in the UK, and according to James May, this is like something out of the Jetsons!

Rut and the PEEL Trident

Rutledge does some ridiculous misfits in the Trident such as getting inside the restaurant, going back to his house for some tea, grocery shopping, and the most ridiculous moment of all; taking it for a race between the hot rods at some racetrack!

This PEEL Trident is the most ridiculous three-wheeler I have ever saw since the P50! Mama said, she want one and for me, that's totally inappropriate for a petrolhead like me!
