Follow up KFOG interview

I got a call from my friend, Peter Finch, who does the Fog Files on a local radio station, KFOG. He wanted to do a follow up interview now that the car was running (and watch the '9er game). We set a time for Sunday just before game time for a chat and a quick drive. After yesterday at the SFEVA meeting, I wasn't planning on driving it very far...
He showed up and pulled out a huge microphone and even huger digital recorder and, after I backed it out of the garage, got in. He asked a few questions as I pulled out, then I asked him if he had his seat belt on and punched it. To be honest, we were going downhill, but I think it made an impression on him. We then drove maybe a 10 block loop while a few people stared at the car making the funny noise driving around with a microphone in the drivers face.
We got back to the house and plugged the car in so he could record the charger doing it's thing (those radio people like stuff like that). I gave him a run down of the components and he mentioned that it all looks too simple which led him to ask why I thought Detroit couldn't build them...

Anyway, I don't think I said anything stupid this time, so it ought to be a pretty good segment.
Not sure when it's going to air, but I'll post a link when it does.

EVMiata on KFOG Radio

A friend of mine works at a local radio station, KFOG, and came by to do a short piece on my Miata project and my neighbor's veggie oil burning Mercedes diesel. It's short, but I think it gets the message across that regular people can do something rather than wait for the auto makers to build alternative fuel vehicles. It's due to broadcast for a week, but you can listen to it on KFOG.com at the link below:

A longer version of the interviews is found in a "The Beat of the Bay" show on people having "Ah Ha!" experiences:

Radio interview and cowl rack is done

A friend of mine works at a local radio station (KFOG) and came by to do a short piece on my Miata project and my neighbor's veggie oil burning Mercedes diesel. He said he's send an MP3 of the final piece and let me know when it airs. Hopefully I won't sound like a total goof.

After the interview I was able to squeeze in a few hours of welding and got the cowl rack finished. I can't mount it until I do the motor mounts, though, so it's just laying there on top of the motor in the picture. Cowl rack is probably a poor name as it really isn't as close to the cowl as I had envisioned it... I'll have to come up with a better name, but for now, *it* is done.
