Status after 3 months of speedster cruising

Now i have been driving my "newly" finished speedster for aboute 3 months - and have pushed the odometer beond 2500 miles.

It have been a blast to drive - with not a few talks with people that want to know what car it is, that want to take pictures, signing thumbs ups etc.
it is incredible how much attention it attract, it is all kind of people young, old, men, women....

now the weather is not that good, raining :-( - so i am longing to drive it again...

We lead such hard lives with our wonderful little cars, don't we?

I know how you feel, when I park mine anywhere, I simply get swamped with people asking what it is. When they see the porsche badge then they are really impressed.

Does your car have side repeaters?

Jesper, your car is very nice! You must feel proud of creating such a beautiful car.

Jesper--Your car is a beauty! --congratulations!

What engine do you have in it?--Jack

yes it have side repeaters, it is required by danish law, but i think i got some not "in your face" repeaters from a Skoda Octavia.

Right now it have a 1300f standart engine from 1968, but i have plans of upgrading it to a 1600 cc with dual carbs - the plan is not to have a racer, but a fun family cruiser.

it is so cool to drive a car you have made your self, but also abit scary in the start (have you forgotten anything :-)).
But by doing it your self, you know every bolt and nut on the car.

Nothing beats driving up the coastal highway to get a icecream together with you wife and two kids - with the AutoPC playing the best cruising hits in the speakers and the clear blue sky above you

I think that you have an amazing car and the fact that you have space for two in the back makes all of the difference.

Awesome car.

Jesper, you have now discovered why each person on here owns a Speedster and what we truly love about our little cars.

Have a great Summer!!

The "Speedstah Guy" having a "Cruisin' Summer!"

Gordon you so right, it is addictive to drive the Speedy :-)

btw is it only the chesil that can supply the special backseat ? no one in the USA that have made changes to backseat for driving with the beloved kids ?
right now i wish i lived in the warmer parts of the USA - i would not have time to go to work :-)

I saw a long wheel base speedy yesterday and it just looks wrong, the back seat that you have looks perfect......

you can say that again gary,
there is a Speedster manufacture (Pilgrim) in the Uk that makes longbase speedsters - and i have to admit - it is nothing for me.
but i guess that some would like it.
it just looks out of size, almost a limo ;-)

That's exactly the one that I was looking at, Pilgrim.........I'm sorry, but it looks like a bath.

The thing that I find most interesting about who is attracted to our cars is that very VERY young children (like 3 year olds), who don't know anything at all about cars, will immediately stop and stare. They seem to know that there is something very special about our cars compared to all the other cars in the parking lot. Frequently, their parent will have to tug them by the arm to get them to move on. I don't know what it is, but it can be parked right next to a Lambo, a Ferrari, or a Viper and it will be OUR CARS that they stare at. I don't really understand why, but its more than just because its shiny. These are VERY VERY special cars.

indeed they are speciel cars - they have such beautiful forms.

cant help it, just like to take pictures of it :-)

Nice pictures in the woods.......
