matter was spot on) so I've changed it a bit so it reads a bit better, and added (very)brief explanations of the presenters of
Wheeler Dealers, otherwise to a stranger of the show, it would make less than no sense. As Wheeler Dealers is broadcast on Discovery in the UK, not a terrestrial channel, not everyone is going to know what it is about. Other countries may not have it at all! Unable to cite the Dulux Special bug, so I just neatened up the grammer. Figured that common sense prevailed with the Bug being at the NEC show 2011 (as there is a picture to the right of the sentence confirming this)

addition this statement basically means that it's not slower than EVERY 4-wheeled microcar in existence. Big suprise since some microcars have as few as 10 hp available. This line should go.It is unencyclopedic weasel wording. It WOULD be valid to compare its speed to other cars with similar horsepower, But saying it compares favorably to "some" would again be pointless because that's just saying it's not the very slowest. How about comparing it to a well-known or ubiquitous vehicle with the same power?

I'm a bit new to editing
Knowledge so apologies if I've trodden on someone's toes. Casual browsing has taken me here and I found the last few sentences of the Pop. Culture section a bit of a jumble. Lots of Odd Capitalisations, some suspect spelling and not a lot of expansion (although the subject
296:
High 70s is still a decent terminal speed for a 3 wheeler with a tiny engine, and it should have comparitively good acceleration because of the minimal weight, but it's not sportscar fast even by 50s standards (it may have a shot in a drag-race with an unmodified bugeye sprite, but that's about it),
342:
That whole section is pointless. What's the point of comparing a Bug to a Lotus 7 or, even more bizarrely, a Ford
Cortina? The target market was completely different - essentially, teenage boys with rich daddies (you could drive a Bug on a motorcycle licence aged 16). Despite some of the marketing
271:
I've not seen a JPS-stylee one but I've seen at least two white ones in the wild (or the same one separated by both time and distance), long after production ceased. Though of course there's nothing to stop someone from respraying an orange one. I also have a recollection of a company converting
391:
Last time I checked, 1 mile was 1.609 km, so 1 mph should be 1.609 km/h, as a
British hour is the same as a continental hour. :-) But the pairs of numbers use a different factor (something around 1.4xxx). I suspect the mph numbers are correct, but I am not sure, so I won't simply adjust the km/h
326:
The problem is that it's a ridiculous observation to say that it compares favorably with some 4-wheel microcars in speed. The number of wheels has nothing to do with the top speed(except that, all other things being equal, a 3 wheeler has less friction and therefore a higher top speed), and in

Really now... let's look at a certain contemporary, the Mini. Indeed, the Mini 850 as mentioned in the text. That made it up to 72mph (as did the 2CV-6), not far off the bug's speed - and by the 70s, Austin were selling the Mini 1000 which could do 85-90...
