Thanks to Neil Blanchard for introducing me to this forum. Hope to learn a lot from you all.

Welcome to the site.

Care to tell us about your car?

Included links to info about my cars in my signature. Then I discovered it's been replaced with "Sorry, new users are not permitted to post links in their signatures."
Guess the signature I posted will appear when I get past the "Lurker" stage.

My daily driver since 2003 is a 2000 Th!nk City EV with original NiCD battery. Range according to modified ECE 101 cycle is 85 km, personal record 102 km.

I'll soon have to replace the original Continental EcoContact 155/70R13 tires, made in the Czech Republic. Other EVer's experience shows that few - if any - tires available today are equal in rolling resistance.

I'm converting a 1973 Ginetta G15 to electric, using the Siemens drivetrain from a wrecked 2001 Th!nk. Plan to use 36 Kokam 100 Ah cells weighing 97 kg. I have to end up at 700 kg total weight, so it will be 240 kg less than the Th!nk. That will hopwfulle give better acceleration, but top speed is electronically limited to 90 kph.

Electric drive train closer to the camera and old 4 banger with 4 speed + reverse transaxle in the background.

Ginetta G15

This is my 5th post so now the Ginetta photo should appear.
But it didn't.

Yeah, you need 5 posts to start linking things. Just our anti-spammer protection.

Nice car though! The Ginetta looks like a very fun little car.
