I'd also take issue with the suggestion that the Reliant Robin and Bond Bug are good cars!

I used to drive a Reliant Robin delivery van and apart from skating across all three motorway lanes in very strong winds was a good van for its purpose. A friend had a Bond Bug which he loved.
But thats not the point. How many aircraft do you know which are pure aircraft have four wheels two up front?
I know of none. Surley that must say something? why carry the extra weight and drag of two wheels and sets of brakes when one is perfectly adequate in the air and on the road?
