From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉 Hawaii.

Do you remember if it had a motorcycle plate?

The taildragger behind the car in the first pic get my attention more than the subject.  What's up with that?

I guess I'm missing it.

Front wheel drive.
Uninspiring motor fer-lookin'thru.
Front steer.


I guess I'd rather have a ratty Miata. Get a trunk, top doors and A/C if I'm feeling that way.

There was a Vanderhall at AIMExpo last year, it's a beautiful thing. Handcrafter with a quality leather work on the interior that rivals the best of lux. cars.  :thumb:

Much nicer then an old or even new Miata, not even in the same galaxy.  :violent1:

Yeah, that butterscotch thing in the background.  It looks like it's dragging when it's stopped.  I'd hate to try riding it the way I ride.   :bike-037: :shocked:

Saw one of those prowling around town a while back.
Had a real nice sound.
Kept saying the name, so I wouldn't forget by the time I walked home.
Googled, nice machine, but maybe too $$$$ to keep my interest.

I guess I'm missing it.

 I think the guy's missing it are all the inventors  since the 40's who all think this is a good idea. Good on 'em for trying but the reality is I don't think it's gonna catch on any time soon. Viable kit maybe but limited interest. 30 large, a Cobra kit looks pretty good.

For the money and wanting 3 wheels.  I'd take a hacked motorcycle.  :thumb:

 :thumb:  I was looking at a Royal Enfield w/chair for Mauri and GianThomas to play with.  Less power and more manageable for them to learn on.  Good luck with the Van Van.
