That's fantastic!
I hope they keep a running journal....I'll be watching.
Looks like they'll be going pretty close to Basil's joint. They'll be in Albuquerque and then Grants or Gallup (NM) around Sept 18-19).
Note: This web page loads *very* slow (for me, at least), but it's worth waiting for.
Note#2: Here's the condensed version---A gang of Czech kids are driving five Velorexs for 2500 miles on Rt. 66

Wonder if we could convince them to stop by my place & leave one of the little things?

Hey, they are kicking this thing off in my back yard! How cool is that? I'll have to see if I can be there to take some pics.

You're in for a grand adventure! A group of Austin 7's from the UK did a very similar trip a couple years ago.
See their trip log here:

I took a photo at their journey's end as seen on this page of my web site:

If you need any assistance in the Los Angeles area feel free to contact me. Best of luck!

I love it! I hope we treat them well, 2400+ miles will leave some sore tails (and tall tales). I’m sure any of you that can cheer them on along the way will be well remembered. It is really quite a heroic thing, they must have a parts van following, but there is no mention of it. The romance of Route 66, I loved that show.
"Are you somehow in on this insanity, Brian?"
We are involved in the micro-car world through our Isetta project (www.teamisetta.com) and, like all car groups, it has it own personality. Lots of passion surrounding specific flavors of cars, a few very opinionated "spiky" characters who struggle with social skills, and a goodly handful of really helpful, kind and patient experts. The Isetta is coming along slowly, my kids are considerably younger than the Team Sprite group, and so it has taken longer to get through the bodywork stage. The Sprite team was fed by all your encouraging e-mails (many are here: https://www.teamisetta.com/WebEmailsSprite.html) and 12,000 hits on their site, the Isetta community is much smaller, and, perhaps, the project doesn’t really have the magnetism yet to draw a big response. The bodywork will be finished and primed next week and that should be a shot-in-the-arm for the kids. The new school year starts in a little over two weeks and we’ll see who steps up, it’s still an after-school and weekends project funded almost entirely by yours truly, but I am determined to see it finished properly.
Hope you all are doing well, we still talk about our friends out there.

I've always liked the Velorex. They're not common here but are found. But I do have a Jawa 250 motorcycle in my garage.
with the good Doc., Brian!! You will also have to keep us posted on the Isetta's progress :thumbsup: (Use the "other Cars" forum!! :wink: )

How about those Italian Midgets that were just on ebay? You can get 2 countries with 1 vehicle that way!

Cute, but only about 40% of cute enough. I am clearly tired, but I just saw a old Vespa with a sidecar that was nicely restored, I know, I know, get some sleep and start fresh tomorrow. Fortunately we have our work cut out for us if we want to show the Isetta next summer. That should keep me out if trouble.
