Billy Connolly's Route 66 TV Series[edit]

What are the specs for the trike that Billy Connolly uses in the series "Billy Connolly's Route 66" ? The reason for the question is that someone told me that it has a car engine but not entirely sure what kind. 92.27.75.60 (talk) 13:53, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems it's a 100 HP Ford engine[1], which replaced a VW engine that the trike had earlier. It has four cylinders, although Billy tends to make up lies [2] about it for his own amusement.  Card Zero  (talk) 16:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha! Thanks for that link; it amused me too.--Shantavira|feed me 08:41, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That second link [3] isn't working for me. All I'm getting is a "The page cannot be displayed" message. Can anyone else use the link ? 80.254.146.140 (talk) 12:25, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the google cache of the page: [4]. It's part of an ITV press pack for the series, which was published in .doc format, but I can only see the quick view for that - seems to have been taken down from the ITV site.  Card Zero  (talk) 17:07, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
