"I've got one now, a 32 horsepower Lotus 7 semi-replica painted up like the car in The Prisoner. It's set up for multifuel (petrodiesel, biodiesel, canola oil, Jet A, the list goes on...) and last year it won an over-the-road alternative fuel race from Berkeley to Vegas."

Ahh. Good to have you here. What I don't understand, is why someone who has escaped from Berkeley would go back :-) I wish I could remember a pretty looking Index of Performance car. That whole cab-forward esthetic never really improved, IMHO. It sure has potential for thrifty travel, though. The Lotus Europa, with the full-width windshield was pretty nice, so if you don't need the wide track and narrow greenhouse of a racer, that might be a good place to start sketching.
