Bob will be back again tomorrow, I'll try to remember to ask him!




We took the cars across the street for a photo shoot and run laps in circles.



I was also a troublemaker and instigated drag races.
TomEV drove my car while I video'ed. Tom and my car won both heats!


Rich did a donut in his and I squeeled my tires enough to actually leave rubber in a few places. I also did a turn fast enough to make my driver side door fly open and my water bottle flew across the parking lot!

Woohoo - Fun day!

Another Citicar showed up and that guy also brought an electric motorcycle!
Of course I had to take it for a spin!!!!


More tomorrow!

EDIT: Hey Ryland. Thinking about it right now, your green car is a Commuta-Car, NOT a Citicar. Those were two different companies. The rights were bought from Bob Beaumont to do the Commutacar, but he wasn't involved with it otherwise.
