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.
