[me and my metro]

Back in the late 90s we went the Solwest meet in John Day Oregon. We went for several years. There were people from all over the West displaying solar power ideas and self sustaining life styles. It is about 250 miles over the mountains from Eugene Oregon to John Day. This was way past the electric conversion car range back then. There were a few electric car conversion companies in Oregon back in the days before the big manufacturers caught up. One of the Eugene guys brought a beautiful electric VW rabbit conversion with a Diesel pusher running on BioDiesel. The pusher was the front half of a Diesel Rabbit and it was finished very nicely. Since the electric car would regen the batteries on the down hill portions of the trip the car was able to extend its range. Sorry I don’t have pictures any longer.
