Some pics....



What else did you do to the car for this year's run, Tom?



This is the lightened Insight Matt was up against. Also note the grille block, lack of antenna, passenger side external mirror...

(I tried to get a grab of the silver Insight that went past as someone was being interviewed, but it was just a blur. )



Electric Bradley kit car, powered from renewable sources.



No idea!



The diesel trike on the left I recognize from previous GGP. The one on the right... I believe that's a Cornell vehicle (that started life as a Metro).
