It's first day in NY

I bought this through the net - 03/17/01. Had it shipped here by McNutt Auto Transport. They did a great job - didn't take long and let me know what was going on as it happened. I highly recommend them. It was less than $1000 to ship it from Douglas Arizona to Rochester New York.

It had been converted to electric from it's original 4 cylinder gas. I originally had plans of finding a 445 and putting a Buick 215 V8 in it (like my 1975 MGB) but I may stick with the electric for a bit and see how it is.

It arrived last night and I've only driven it about half a mile - it's weird - there is no noise, it just starts moving.

Here are some pictures, click on them for larger versions.

I'll update this as things happen - if you've any questions or comments, let me know.
