this looks like fun !

I'm not easily impressed by new concepts other than they might look cool or have some cool gadgets ... but this thing is really unique and something I would like to have ... or at least test drive http://www.carver.nl/home.htm

Uh, it looks interesting. Looks like a 3-wheeler form of a volkswagen. Neat.

Yep, looks cool.I have seen them on Dutch television a couple of months ago.
A bit to expensive I think.
Have you seen the movie on that site.
Crazy flying dutchmen.

Hey F150Europe
they sent me a Press information packet with a few 8"x10" glossy pics and a cd with short movies , lots of pics, and specs on this thing and on one of the printed pages it says $55,000 , but then in one of the movie clips it say 55,000 euros ... 55,000 dollars sounds way out of line , but what does that translate to in euros ? Looks like it would be a lot of fun and would turn a lot of heads. package says top speed 190kph/120mph ... 0-100 kph/0-60 mph = 8.2 sec not all that fast compared with some of the pocket rockets out there now but not bad for a 4-cylinder, 660cc

nice toy though!

Exchange rate

$1.00= +- 1 Euro


Like I said $55,000 is a bit to expensive.
Wasn't it completely handbuilt, if sales figures go up, the production is going to be automated.
Price will go down.

Really, did they sent you an info package all the way from Holland.

the exchange rate is 1 to 1 wow ... when I was stationed in Germany it was 3.5 to 1 , but that was german marks and was quite a few years ago too.

yes they sent an offical press package...

Pretty cool machine , but way out of my price range ... still would like to test drive it !

We switched to Euros this year.
1 Euro= 2.2... dutch guilder/ 2 german marks
So don't let that fool you.
