We are thrilled that there has been a response from other people who are taking ownership of your project to enhance the final ultimate outcome , probably after the completion of the trip , as we see this as a dynamic enterprise where the contributions no matter how small they are , will determine the future of EV’s and renewable energy sources for environmental improvement . Best regards from Ladysmith ( Kwazulu Natal ) in overcast South Africa , Charles and friends . Dear RGET ,
yes , perhaps-maybe , we dare to suggest for the future ,
that a foldable or stackable retractable or sliding
transparent photosynthetic ( which goes dark in sunlight
and give that cool look ) thermoplastic roof could have
been included to squat over the rear integrated roll bar
behaving like a jet cockpit to enclose by sliding forward
over the drivers inside the driver’s well , when necessary
and not detracting from the original sexy look of the vehicle .

We are thrilled that there has been a response from
other people who are taking ownership of your project
to enhance the final ultimate outcome , probably after the
completion of the trip , as we see this as a dynamic enterprise
where the contributions no matter how small they are , will
determine the future of EV’s and renewable energy sources for
environmental improvement .

I doubt it would have ruined the look and you could have driven without helmets. you can try when you get home again. I hear it sometimes rains in England :) it could have been as simple as a combined windshield and roof in one piece thermoplast sheet.

So ultimately, the trip will take a few days longer than expected, but all for a good cause! We are still happy with the choice of not having a roof as having one which looked good would have been very difficult, and it is extremely important to us that the looks of the car are preserved, even in the rain!

We are a little concerned about the 30,000 Ivermectin trees which were planted around the power station as they seem to be very toxic for mammals . Those poor bunny rabbits – Walt Disney will not be pleased . Although Ivermectin is a broad based antiparasitic medication which is administered in farm animals – courtesy of Google , which reinforces the notion that the world has uncovered so much more riches , as we followed you along the Pan-American highway . Is the rate of CO2 absorption of these plants better than others which could grow in this tropical environment for example the coffee plant seems to have a relatively good absorption rate . We look forward to hearing about the tour of Panama and its canal which is an extraordinary engineering exploit . We wish you all well from Ladysmith ( Kwazulu Natal ) in sweltering sunny South Africa , Charles and friends . Dear RGET ,
