The Pickman is a NEV neighborhood electric vehicle. Can’t go on roads with a posted speed limit above 45mph. Think like it’s a golf cart in a retirement community. For urban commuting probably ok. Just very surprised to see one last night.

Edit> after actually looking at the website, pickmanusa is located here in Frederick, Md. It's a state by state issue as to whether it can be registered and what roads it can go on.

The Pickman reminded me of a guys making side by sides street legal by slapping VW Bodies on them.

I saw a Solo yesterday. I won’t try to post is as it will be deleted anyway but look it up. It’s a single seat 3 wheel electric car. Looks kind of like a Spider with a full cab. Designed in and prototypes were built for in Vancouver BC Canada. Production models will be made in China. 1 hour range and top speed of 80 mph.

Interesting! Perfect for the urban bubble daily commute I would say!

Posting a non VW image here won't get it deleted, just don't host it in the samba gallery. I just searched google for images of the car, copied the image address of the one here, and pasted it into this post. If I can do it, anyone can, trust me.

Sorry, no pic, but I saw one of the new Rolls Royce Cullinan SUVs in a parking lot in Carpenteria (CA). Cool suicide doors.

Looks like it was this model:

I haven't seen one yet but I probably will as I usually see expensive and racey cars when I'm over in Scottsdale, AZ

Yup, that's it. It was white. I didn't see the front as he was sitting in line for Mexican food at Roberto's in OB.

Not for today, but this holiday I saw an amazing silver color McClaren 570s parked on the street, in Baden Baden. I know that is not a classical one, but just amazing every time I see one of those.

Got a ride in a 1956 RR Silver a Ghost for a wedding Sunday. I think I got a Vw in the background to allow hosting.

I drove my 1970 VW in to Prescott Sunday morning, and saw a nice 1968/1969 red VW coming the other direction, pretty rare these days. So I waved, like VW drivers did in the late 1950s.
