Tour De Presteigne 2009. from Ed. in Plymouth
I have managed to balance a bicycle again, at last. To celebrate, I have sent off my entry form to the TOUR DE PRESTEIGNE, May 9th. and 10th., 2009. It looks like lots of fun. I have just watched the videos of the nearby Karting circuit to be used at 12.00 on the Sunday (10th. May) for two classes o...

Electrathon and Litigation risk
Don't be discouraged, what I believe we as a society will do is simply fireproof ourselves against the risk... And then get on with enjoying life. So, please, please join in with your proven experience and contacts, we need you. Putting this precaution in place is unlikely to delay things more than ...

Electrathon 2009, progress.... from Ed.
These days, I would be astonished if any track owner would allow a "Freebie" However, there could be a more important issue to be resolved first, the regrettable possibility of predatory litigation, should something unfortunate occur. The individuals driving the event forward would need to...

Electrathon 2009?
Following an email discussion with Mary, and to see if there might be an affordable central venue, I emailed the admin people at Bedford circuit for information, as follows - Hello, just an initial feasibility and cost enquiry, from a small amateur organisation.

Mitsubishi i-EV. Just registered... from Ed. in Plymouth
Hi, folks. As is often the case with me, I have only just noticed this item. Definitely agree with Mary and Tim, best everyone possible register interest.

Possible Devon & Cornwall BVS get-together
Hi, Jan and Colin, thanks for the info. I am not persuaded that the South West, which seems to me to have very few EVs, needs another co-ordinator. In EV terms, my area is also quite hilly, but my little TWEV can be carried in the back of our car... Or even (once, so far) quite lawfully, officer, ho...

Me and my big mouth, from Ed. in Plymouth
Well, OK. If I've shot my mouth off, better do something. Hmmmmm..... I know, how about I do it the "ideal manager" (in other words laziness sold as efficiency) way? Would the easiest way be to find somewhere safe, and see how many road-legal EVs could turn up? Alternatively, what about th...

Somewhere to play!!!
Anyone know of any events in 2009 within a reasonable radius of Plymouth in Devon? Looked in Plugged In, and apart from the possible Electrathon and the Tour De Presteigne, I don't yet know of anything else............ Maybe, just maybe, all us EVer-hopefuls in the South West should organise a get-t...
