Euro, I wouldn't worry about this trike being unstable.

Tadpoles - two wheels in front - are generally considered as stable as four wheelers so long as most of the mass is kept close to the wide end. Since that's the case, no worries. And as he modifies the original vehicle's mass distribution by removing a wheel, a lot of heavy glass up high at the rear and an unwanted seat, that simply means more of the remaining weight is biased forward and lower over the front wheels. Even less worries.

Europe in particular has had some history with three wheelers, both tadpoles and deltas (one wheel in front), and the Brits can tell you that the latter can be a handful if not designed properly. The Reliant Robin, for example, spends nearly as much time upside down at the side of the road as it does right side up, on the road. I was especially amused to see a Reliant represented in the animated movie Cars 2, and the character's name was Tomber. That's French, it means "to fall down." Very apropos.

But the Brits also have the Morgan three wheelers, and if you've spent any seat time in those you know you'll just about peel your own face off around corners before you get it to flip over.

Also: I was very amused at the picture of the new axles in their boxes, marked "performance drive axles." On a Metro? Sure, okay...
