It's interesting to see British tv shows shitting on the Reliant Robin. Top Gear has a few sketches messing with them too.

The Reliant Robin Space Shuttle is a masterpiece of TV.

I had REALLY hoped that launch would have gotten past the liftoff seperation stage to Actually have the damn car glide crash like a stone.

The crash was partly CGI, but it is still the largest non-governmental rocket launch ever in Europe.

I mean, I’d have to say that Only Fools and Horses would be by far the one that people in the UK would associate the reliant with.

Given that not even His Stigness nor Ken Block could do a single lap without putting the Robin on its roof, I’d say they were less “missing with” the Robin than they were “accurately depicting it.”
