Bit of fun
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2011 9:46 pm
This weekend we had our local carnival and just for a laugh a group of us thought we'd enter dressed up as the TopGear Stig 
The thing was the Stig tends to drive performance vehicles around the TopGear test track, so we needed some sort of "transport"
After a bit of soul searching and with my love of all things electric I came up with.................
......and so off we went
We had a great time and did some synchronized buggy routines which amused the crowds no end
We did just on 7 miles by my reckoning, with no breakdowns, and my modified LiFePO4 buggy was awsome, by removing the big old SLA's and fitting the uber light weight Ping pack the scooter not only had lightening acceleration but could be provoked into pulling wheels
Next year I'm thinking I might fit a new high power controller and my 36v LiFePO unit .........should be interesting, just need to decide what to go as
