My website domain just renewed today, which means that this website (and by extension, this project) is essentially one year old today. I’ve never had a personal project of this kind of grand scope before, and certainly not one where a year of planning and concepting still isn’t quite enough. Yet here we are, a year in and a thousand ideas later. The idea has evolved a great deal in one year. The finish line got bumped to 2012. The scooter engine and CVT gearbox is now an ATV engine with a 5-speed and reverse. The aesthetic has come a long way too. Just look at where this started and where it is now in the renderings.

More than anything it’s been a great year of collaboration. This would not be the design it is today without YOUR input. So a big thanks to everybody who has gotten involved with ideas, observations and enthusiasm.
If you can get the Stig to be the test pilot that would be super duper mega awesome!
I gave him a call, but it was a really one-sided conversation. So I’m not sure if he agreed to do the speed trials or not. Fingers crossed!
Coincidentally, today is my birthday as well.
So, for my birthday next year I’d like a pic of the finished product please. 🙂
Ha ha! Well it’s not scheduled to be done until July 2012, so that’d be SUPER ahead of schedule. But hey, hopefully I can show you a rolling chassis by then.
