I think the owner saw the event as an alternative energy expo. It runs on BioD and you can probably guess what the white cylinder in front of the car is...

Haha, did you talk with the owner? What did he have to say about it? (I totally missed it the first time looking through)

I didn't get to talk with the guy. I just listened for a while. But so far it's just a big paper weight.

Listened to it repeatedly, you mean!

Half a dozen times he started the car and revved the crap out if it to impress people with the french fry smell.

Yup, to be honest I found it out of place that someone would bring a loud diesel to an EV show, and rev it in neutral (what a pointless thing to do) to prove who know what. It even was smoking when he was revving it...
