My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

[Mark BEX]

Once you get this first one "production ready", I wouldn't mind flying there to test drive it. Seriously.

I believe I will have a couple of test units in the US before the covid restricted travel is over.

The laser shop had issues today, so waiting for my rear bulkhead to be cut, tomorrow now, so in the meantime started on mounting the steering column and shaft.

Hey…. For those that fly by stick, just leave that prop in place!

Mark,

It would be nice to test one here in Florida.

Please tour them around the country so we can all experience a convenient fast and furious test drive.

Given Mark's background in racing, and seeing how detailed his driving video's are, I will buy mine without test driving it.
But I've tested my own three wheelers, test driven the Mechannica Solo, etc etc, and so I'm a bit unique as a customer.

If Mark ends up happy with the Mongrel…. I will be also. I won’t need to test drive it.

Hats off again to Mark for keeping us so well informed during the build process. We’ll know what we’re getting for sure!!

I do need to test drive any vehicle I like the specs and styling of to determine personal ease of ingress/egress, driver comfort, fit, finish, performance, and handling to validate my desire to purchase the vehicle.

I won’t need to test drive it.

Add me to that list, as well.
