Pun intended. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
So I am a through and through PETROL guy and scoff at "green" technology that hardly ever proves to be (hardly ever) fiscally sound. But in this case - I might be a believer. Thanksgiving day - my brother-in-law brings his new (to him) Tesla Model S - I have to admit I was impressed. I could actually see myself driving something like that for local excursions. Forward thinking concepts that went well past the driveline components. Another bonus: At 6'5" I was able to fit exceedingly comfortably and its a 7 passenger damn car! Impressive. PS: That car is respectively fast too... Tony |

And he auto crossed it at El Toro. Almost mile long course. Did nicely considering the narrow tire and extra weight. Definitely a well done electric conversion and very cleanly done!

Mark, he & I were talking about that AX adventure a few months back at the Porsches & Doughnuts at Krispey Kreme in Orange. If you got to check out the EV setup & car - it's one of the cleanest EV conversions I've seen in 914 or anything. I think he also took it out to the Steve McQueen Boys Republic Charity Car Show in Chino last June, along with a few other EV converted 914/VW Bug/VW Splitty Bus examples out there.
