Which makes me wonder: how much did gas prices influence your decision to do the conversion? That was part of the story.
I was once interviewed about the ForkenSwift for the national news, and the reporter's angle was all about gas prices. I told him: fuel prices had nothing to do with it - we did it simply because it seemed like a really interesting automotive project & and we had the space to work in my buddy's newly built garage, with a well stocked beer fridge.
But that wasn't what he wanted to hear, or what got to air.
