Thank you for asking about the project. Sorry to say I don't have much to add as of late, except that I did go to Maine to be in this years TDIFest. That was quite a trip! It was a long ride from Rochester NY. but worth it. I was keeping up with traffic, passing logging trucks up mountains, if you know what I mean and still got 68 mpg! Got to the fest and checked the tank, I could have gone back home without adding fuel. That is a strange feeling after driving 544 miles.

About Hawaii, are those pics for real? Is it really getting nasty? Left overs from Japans problem? Know of any work on the islands involving renewables or something, I have experience in that field also....
Best regards.
68 mpg and going 544 miles on half a tank is simply incredible!

i could never buy a new car knowing that one could be built like yours

whats a ballpark number you spent on making it the way it sits together?




most of the pics are real but the place is slowly getting more crowded and polluted

we cant ship out all our trash so there are multiple landfills on island

and people still litter (both local and tourist)

it gets sad sometimes but i try my best
