Neglect is the sincerest form of ...

Neglect is the sincerest form of saying "Everything's going great!" Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time, but there's not much interesting about just driving and enjoying the family fleet of EVs.

The Autumn season brings a couple of favorite car shows to display the conversions. First up was the Texas All British Car Day show in Round Rock. While the evTD is a mongrel: German chassis, Chinese Batteries, with US content being a body from South Dakota, motor from Illinois, and controller from Florida, most of the chrome is genuine British MG parts. It does personify the essence of British motoring so the show organizers let me in, but relegated it to the "Special Interest" class where we were surrounded by MGB's with monster V8 engines. Beautiful workmanship all around and I must say we were right at home and attracted a nice crowd to the outskirts of the show.


 A week later was the IBM Car Show held to promote the Employee Charitable Contributions drive. It was a gorgeous day with most of the cars owned by other retirees.



The spectators were largely current IBM employees, mostly of a technical sort, so plenty of deep dive discussions into the componentry and design specs of the PorschEV. Lots of fun!
