I'm still driving on the wrong side of the road, been doing it for
thirty years, Graham

I think it would be weird driving a VW trike with the shifter
between your legs.
Or stick on a right-hand drive car for that matter

Personally, I would rather the VW. They are simple, reliable, easy
to repair, reqire little mainenance, and especially if one uses the
alloy valves that they used to make just for Porsches, which needed
a valve adjustment ( if my memory serves me correctly) every15,000
miles instead of every 3,000 like Beetles needed. Sort of. And
the feeler gage was like a wet noodle for the Porsche. I felt I
earned every penny of the $125 I charged to do a valve adjustment
on Porsche (the shop at the local dealership charged $225).
There are several trikes around here with Beetle rear ends. That
means, engine and transaxle and the rest of the rear suspension.
The first one I saw had two huge plates of something like ¾" steel
fastened to the engine cradle in the front, to keep the front end
from lifting up and/or flipping upside down.
Wonder if anyone ever tried to stick a Beetle engine in a Honda...

Those are essentially today's "naked wing". I'm not sure my garage
is big enough for one though.
