Ah that's nothing. Wait until you come out here and see our rides. Then you'll see some REAL motoring in our Hoverounds.:tongue: I think Hal's new ride does 0 to 60 in about 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of around 135 mph. He was turning 11.4 seconds at 118 at the drag strip. He is so serious about weight reduction he doesn't wear pants.

I be that produces some wicked wind burn!

I need to see these rides. It's tempting. I may need to push my visit out there up a bit.

It's not so much of a problem about the wind burns, it's just such a butt ugly sight to see.

Ken says he has a job but we think he's working on a stealth Hoveround project and that's why we haven't seen him for a few weeks now.

We keep telling you to come out...

"How old are you guys?" :biggrin:

Hal is 84. Ken is 78. I am 27, but I look like I am in my early 20's. Often find I still get asked for an ID when I am out and ordering a drink. Which brings up a thing that happens quite often. The three of us will be out and I'll hear them ask, "Say, can you buy an old guy a drink?" Actually, it's quite embarrising. I think both of them have several DAHUTI, (Driving A Hoveround Under The Influence) but let's not go there now.

Wait, I might be 72 rather than 27. I really get confused when dealing with higher math. I might also be 13 or 137 years of age. I'll check my ID and get back to you.

I'm surprised you still have a license Doug. :tongue:
