^^^ Ah crap, should have finished the video first. He say's it's about half the size of the P50. I'd love to drive something like that, it's just too bad I'll never fit.

I would have kept the original 'Postman Pat' paintwork.

i thought the worlds smallest car would be one of those grain of rice dealies that runs on ethanol (1 drop fills the tank!). My science teacher had one, it was fairly neat. Even if you're talking smallest car a human can drive, aren't there power wheels about this size?

Clarification of this is required.

THE world's smallest car is nano sized.

Toyota (I believe) have the record for the world's smallest working car.

Isn't that the same gut that built a 19 inch tall street legal batmobile with a working jet engine>

Key word being 'Production'.
The Peel P50 is the World's Smallest Production, Road Legal, car.

This.... isn't. It's a quad with a shell.

It's pretty cool nonetheless.
