I was born shortly after the introduction of the first wheels which were near round, and they immediately caught my fancy.

Thanks for the correction! I intend to bring the 7. I just hate to get up early in the morning...

This is magnificent!! I love the Ro80. Always lusted after one. Ground breaking car in so many ways, so ahead of its time. Only thing I wasn't keen on was the 3 speed semi-automatic (with clutch activation by a force switch in the gearshift lever). Should have had a 5 speed.... Haven't seen one in person for a very long time. Even more sorry now I had to miss the show. Great you took the pic!

Good to hear!! Great idea the annual destination show! Do you recall what model NSU was it? (I learned to drive on an NSU 1000C)
-
Sure we will all catch up later in the season. C&C 4/26 @ Bridgeway?

Thanks, Bill, for a great summary. Sad it wasn't more coherent; sounds like not enough distinct group entries. Very surprised about all the BMW's and Porsche's - per this year's "Hybrid" (non-EV related) theme, there shouldn't have been any. Nor Jag's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's... In fact, last fall we were registered for the Friday "road rally", and for creature comfort reasons I wanted to bring our Holden (aka Chevy SS), which has some Opel vestigial elements as well as synergistic Aussie/NA engineering, but was told that it would not fit the Hybrid theme... Sounds like they got a bit desperate for participation and relaxed the admission criteria. At least you and J got to hang a bit I assume.

We were registered for the original date last Fall but could not make it to the rescheduled event either. Bummer.

Anyone participated or spectated last Saturday? @mrmustang? @UglyFast? @SENC?

That's exactly why I ordered mine with this colo(u)r. But I had to have the bare aluminum body to "add lightness"... 🤪

Ahh, now I see it. Wasn't looking closely at the bottom. Not being familiar with it I was expecting a bracket in the middle of the rear panel (obviously obscured by the wheel) with a couple/three studs, like in Jeeps etc. Funny what a can of worms @IamScotticus opened with his nonsensical line... I was pondering a spare wheel carrier when speccing my kit but Josh Robbins talked me out of it. Looks cool though, and serves a purpose.
-
I am unable to spot the colour of the spare wheel carrier, however I must cheer your exquisite taste in choosing Firecracker Yellow wings!
-
No, I am!! I insist!! 👹
-
Thank you, I know. Just being a smart aleck, sorry.
-
What is a tyre carrier?? I don't know if I have one.

Scott, I think you meant colours.
