Got a new car.
It's a Joe Poty Sand Rover Model T.
They built 240 of them in the late 60s.
My girlfriend dubbed it "That Silly Little Car."

It has some junk old aftermarket carbs on it- I just rebuilt an old Solex 34 PICT-3 carb to stick on it. Hopefully, that will help the idle and off-idle performance. Other than the carb issues, it is a great little car! Radio is almost loud enough to hear over the exhaust.

We went mudding in it today- it was pretty much awesome. Then we went to the gas station all covered in mud and gunk, and an old guy told me it was obnoxious and too loud.

A good friend of mine owns a huge farm near Yellow Springs- stocked 5 acre pond, ski hill, hunting, etc. that has some trails. One lap takes about 3o mins if you hurry.

Sure was! I stopped by to drop off and install a new ignition kill box for the air shifter on a buddy's bike, and hung out for an hour or so. Good turn out!
