Autoeco - 9 settembre

The last day has come ! 9 Sep Autoeco gallery

And so, you are asking, what else can you do after all this happenings? easy: get to know the C5 to even more and more people !!

I got nice nice nice chat with a man who electrified an old 500, we got some words about our current government (ahem.. left wing) and it's failed mission, for one vote, about the liberty to modify our vehicles into electric ones. We still got to go to germany to... ough cugh omologate them.

I met also other people 40ish-50ish-60ish-70ish that know about the C5 already and again talked about it, this time i tried to stay outside the building, in the opening in front of the main gate, so we could easisly build group of people, disposed in a ring while i described it and performed some test drive on the paved road. Men, if only it was still in production...

Then we meet the team of Rome who already runned on the past Shell Eco Marathon, geeee they let me drove their vehicle !!! (photo31) and after we disputed a small "race". They were able to take a standard 50cc engine from a quad, fit into their vehicle and drive it with an impressive figure of 103Km/l !!! a commercial engine, a vehicle built by thair hands !

Toady i also met another interested guy, an high school teacher and we got to chat about ergonomy, phisical exercize, he is also a member of some road analisys incident team for motorbyke and bycicle.. he wan't to teach teenager that there exists other vehicles different from bikes and from motorikes too, and that 2 legs are just enough to drive you around. We got some projects too, exchanged contacts and..

I also meet friends and new students interested in partecipating the School team !

Today also, after we got confident with the space in the expo, 2 members of the team carryed their RC model and got some phun time roaming around their models :)

I got also to know the Vectrix, the first commercially available electric maxi scooter, 34 powehorse, 210Kg of weight, 2 seater... beast !

then it comes the time to repack everything togheter, say hi to our new friends and congrats with everybody and hope we can meet again in may 2008 at Nogaro ! our final destination ! and compete, not for profit, with our vehicles in the Shell Eco Marathon !!!
