   I kinda like them as a toy or a collectable item. But it always seemed to me that this would have been something a poor man , may very well  had been a hard working man, but a man who couldn't afford a real car might have settled for . Not so much because it was  made like a motor bike , but because it was just cheap transportation. Ya know what I mean, there's just something very sad about it all, perhaps even offensive ....
Da , can I borrow the car?
Oh , you have a date now, do ya son?

Myyyyyy . Son , they'll be no date tonight in the Velorex. Katie is a big girl son . You'll have to find a slight one.

Yeah that would suck . I just can't think of a scenario that would be positive about a Velorex 3 wheeler.

I reckon a lot of girls these days would find it pretty cool if the boyfriend turned up in one of those to take them out.

And no need to worry about the windows steaming up! ;D

  I don't know about that  but, if a chick were to show up with one, fairly sure that most of us would go for a ride.
