How Big is The Dog?

Autocar are reporting on the latest Quadricycle to start deliveries in the UK.

And when I say "start deliveries" I mean it is being delivered to customers not that it is making deliveries.  I think it is a trifle too small to be used as a delivery vehicle - unless perhaps you want to deliver trifles.

It is called the Ark Zero - maybe its successor will be called the Ark One.

And the models draped over it at motor shows will be called Ark Angels.

It's all very clever and it is aluminium - the website is here.

But it looks like a certain beagle.

The one on the right is the car - the one that looks cross-eyed.

It is a two-seater like its rival the Citroën Ami but has the more antisocial "tandem" layout of its other rivals the Renault Twizy and the Messerschmitt KR200.  The Ami is probably the only one I'd a want to have a go in.

The interior looks, let's just say "cosy".

Which brings us back to dogs. Ark claim that this car is big enough for two adults and a dog - hence the title of this post.  You'd never get a Saint Bernard in there though.

But it does remind me of  a quote from nearly six years ago now in this post.  It is why I rather maliciously included the Messerschmitt as a rival:

"at the back there is a bench which will hold a small wife and child, or a larger wife and a shopping basket."

Or a huge wife and a Yorkshire terrier.

And why on Earth does it need a reversing camera?
