I thought we are talking about porsche and the electric car.

The first car ever built is maybe the Fardier from 1769 and the replica of it is in a museum in florida if I´m not wrong

And the first electric vehicle was the Trouve Tricycle from 1881

The guy in the village close to me, Siegfried Marcus invented a car some years before Benz but he never showed it really to the public or something but there is enough in the local history books here about it. Then he moved to vienna and did the Marcus Mobil the first car with a gasoline engine and this car is the oldest car that is still running.

Yes I like to do some research and car history is always nice. There is also the debate about who build the first car. If you read more about this its crazy, there was a village very close to my place where they say the guy there built the first car but it never went to the public/ media because he lived in in the middle of nowhere.

The first and second ever registered Porsche were owned by womens ;-)

And the first car Ferdinand Porsche built was electric

I come from germany to SAAC so how far is that from my home? But for me as a Shelby enthusiast its a trip that its really worth. Chicago also sounds nice. I only must say that I dont like hot weather events so if its a bit colder I´m fine  ;D

Oh yes Indy was great, a very nice location. But I also must say Road of America in Wisconsin was also very good and my favourite.

You are right also in europe we have those laws since many years but nobody knows, its also not allowed to wash your car in your driveway because you wash down the smog, dust etc. with chemicals and it will go into the water/ ground water and maybe our kids will come in touch with that earlier or later. It also can go into fruits etc. you have some feets away in your garden.

For me I can understand those rules and I know what to do. Because I know the affect of chemicals, smog, industrial dust etc. pretty good. I have my own shop and we take very well care of chemicals and oil, batterys, etc. I always work with gloves, often with a mouth/nose protection when using chemicals etc. If somebody love his life he will take care of himself and the rest and yes also of the nature. And I think what we do is a nice way of recycling because we use old cars with old parts and rebuild everything. Think about it how much trash a modern repair shop is doing every day and then take a look to some restorers.

you can rebuild these but it requires some special tools and you need to order some stuff in the netherlands to rebuild them, a friend of mine worked on those shocks a long time and we did some rebuilds but its horrible and time consuming.

Not only the price makes a Shelby interesting more important is the history on it and the condition, originality and the overall facts.
