Three-wheeled cars? Yea or nay?
 
My friends who've driven the Morgan three-wheeler have said it's some of the most fun you can have with your pants on. And the Vanderhall Venice Scott just posted on the HP sure looks like a hoot. But I just have something against "cars" with three wheels, and given the choice between something like this and say, a Caterham 7? I'd take the Caterham 7 everytime. What do you think? Is three wheels a deal breaker?

There are two, three and four cylinder engines. Three cylinder engines are the worst due to the inertia mass forces and torques. For me, I see 3-wheeler similar, compared to 2- and 4-wheeler.

Good analogy. I know that the two-front/one-rear layout is far better than the alternative here, but still don't like it.
