Translogic video on GGP '13

Not sure if this has been posted yet:

I stumbled on a nicely done video about GGP '13, including:

- interview with Bob Gillespie
- interview & drive in the heavily ecomodded Alfred State Insight (red one)

(The suspension mods -- for lowering -- make it look like quite a punishing ride!)

There are some shots of the other competitors... including a motorbike (not sure if that was you, sendler).

Can't embed this one, so go here:
