Hi from Port-Cartier, Québec

[Thidj LeVert]

Hello everyone, I'm Thidj (teed-j) and I'm very looking forward to make my first EV. I'm gathering a lot of ressources and knowledge to make my dream come true this summer 2010. The electric car concept is really unknown where I live. I don't necessarily want to be the first to have an EV but I can't wait to see the faces of gascar-sold people not hearing my car at red lights and I want to change the course of things as you already done with me. My girlfriend and me are currently struggling under the pressure of a 305 V8 GM van and a wierd 3l V6 overconsumer.
I consider that my mission on Earth will be completed when I have taught enough ppl how to make their EV.
I'm a great fan of ecomodder.com I like to ecomod my newly bought 1st house and I'm french, canadian French.
I wish the best to y'all, especially to Ecomodder.com because it will save the World!

Goodbye,
Thidj

"Welcome to the ecomodder" and good luck with those GM engines (305 and V6).

Welcome to ecomodder!

Welcome, Thidj. I spent a couple of weeks in Franquelin, near Baie Comeau when I was a lad. I hope you can find some parts locally. I managed to get a couple of motors at scrap prices near here, on spec. Are you planning on an in-town runabout? If you want some help using native lumber in the chassis, I'd be glad to help.

Bonjour Thidj -

The closest I ever got to Port-Cartier was almost going to Sept Isles on a sailboat last summer. (But we didn't go - we stayed on the Gaspe side of the St Lawrence.)

I hope you will start a thread to document your project.
