1921 Scott Sociable: The WWI Machine Gun Trike Turned Family Car

Why not just buy a motorcycle with a sidecar? I guess that's why the Scott Sociable never caught on.

Dämliche Kommentare zu einem höchst interessanten Fahrzeug.

I would hate to make a hard right turn in this thing with no left front wheel!

And people thinking recycling is something they JUST invented.
Heck, cave people recycled ("pass me grandpa's skull. I need a bowl for my stew.") 😜

grazie ^_^

Formidable!

Nice to hear the old voice. It pronounces "Timmy" just right. As for the Sociable, Scott should have added a fourth wheel (in front) and a reverse gear. Oh well, too late now.

"The 1920 Scott Sociable. It's British."

'Nuff said lol.

Now THAT is dumb. I love it!

Might be ok turning right but turning left might be a little tricky like trying to wake Timmy up.

I wonder how this would have looked if it was a 4 wheel symmetrical car?

Sociable as a japanese otaku

WAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes me think of the DAF Mobile Raincoat.

Man, Brits make sure it looks like an old Jaguar even it's just a pocket rocket.

I suppose it makes the Reliant Regal look luxurious. 🤔

Enemy will lost its marbles, when see that coming towards.😨

Great narrator😁

That is seriously out of my mind 🤕 Thank you for showing me something I've never seen before.

Now being all sensible .. That must corner a great deal better to the right than the left. If 'better' is a term it attracts at all

However It has always fascinated me, why those who made 3 wheeled vehicles went one front/two rear, the most unstable possible wheeled configuration … Instead of two front and one rear, the most stable possible configuration, far more stable than 4 wheels.

I love the narrative!😂

It's gorgeous and totally unique

Thankyou Mr Kipling, However, it would have been nice to hear the thing start up, if not actually move

Swords into ploughshares, with three wheels and a massive dollop of eccentricity thrown in. This thing makes a Reliant three-wheeler look utterly conventional!

I watched the first min. and just could not take anymore

"... charming, inventive and totally nuts ..." sums this thing up perfectly.
I had never heard of it but I love it!

Love the comments 😂
So Beautiful 😊

This better be in Gran Turismo 8.

Wow, never mind the crazy car, I've found a crazier channel. Thanks. Peace and goodwill

Have no clue how it doesn't just tip over while stationary.

I got 3 seconds in and clicked away cause of the awful lazy AI voice

Sounds like the AI got a bit confused with mph and kph when mentioning the speed capability, look at the sales leaflet in the video.

This narration is just awful and irritating. If we're going with the eccentric fruity British accent, could we at least pronounce the words correctly and not use American forms for words like "lever"?

Bizarre and impractical. What's not to love?

First read about this horrifying contraption in the excellent book "Lemons - The Worlds Worst Cars" by Timothy Jacobs, in the early 90s. Great to see it in an in-depth video at last, to get a better view of what it actually looked like. Far worse than imagined...

I bet the owners of these things never tired of people coming up to them saying "Ere mate, one of your front wheels has come off"

That thing looks like it would tip over if you made a right turn and sneezed while looking right.

A product of WW1, it looks like half its face was shot off. Maybe not the best marketing…

Did you guys set the AI settings to pompously unfunny?
Because it worked.

"handles like a stubborn donkey on a frozen lake" .... I want one.

Saw one over the years at one of the Scott rallies (owned a couple of Scotts in my lifetime) That Sociable sure was weird , wonder it ever went into (very limited!!) production.😄

Uau bellissima ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That looks like something my old Mini Cooper left on the Moors after a troubled delivery.

Just as beautiful as most British women.

This is why we now have workplace drug testing.

wtf

Reminds me of the joke about the pig with just three legs...

I can not see any possible way a machine gun of the size and weight meriting to be carried on a vehicle could possibly be mounted on that monstrosity.

There’s is one in Bradford industrial museum
