Lee if somebody starts reading from the middle of this string they'll think
we're nuts . I feel like I'm waking up out of a strange dream . Do you
think maybe Mr. little field was testing his device this weekend ? Would you
feel comfortable driving your EV with a black box socking energy from
another demenstration. (looking for monkeys with crow feathers coming out
now ) that's a question I'll be asking people commenting on my hood
ornament.
Ideas for the ornament
1 something that looks like the device for mursuring wind speed sitting on
top of a pyramid.
2 a megaphone looking funnel with wind tribune at the small end . could
write on the side "tell the good news"
I called Jon Halquest the guy driving clunn car 5 and web master of my web
page and told him about what's going on .At first he was upset (though I had
lost it) but he agreed to post pictures of the Hood ornaments there. Might
be a good place to start .
Now we need a flyer to go with it . Something telling about the
"movement"
Think how good you'll feel when driving down the road and you see another
(gas or electric)car showing support with one of these Hood ornaments (we
must find a name for them)or just a plug hanging out of the hood/gas tank
I going to down load the pictures of my Mazda truck right after breakfast
after that Mr. Littlefield can either join us and have his car next to mine
on the top ten list or be left out (sour grapes) . Haven't heard from Ford
yet . It will be interesting to see how long before the first commercial
"Interest generator " hits the market . Having it charge the little 9v
batteries might help.Makes more since that a flag on a SUV \ I wonder if we
could set up a program that would sponsor EV builders with some of the
profits like that Paul Newman Popcorn . Now were did I leave those
pictures
