HOOP signing off

Greetings - It's been almost a 20 year run for me with this club

The last 2 years doing the daily blog with the editor of our club 'zine

There are over 800 previous microcar posts on this site - check 'em out

Other crazy things in my exciting life will be taking up more time

Sooooooooooo - Off to new adventures in other fields of endeavor

Still will scoot around in my crazy cars - Look for me on the road

In May I'm doing a segment for Irish TV with my Hoopmobiles

Bye Bye car club - Cheerio faithful viewers - Wish me luck

It's been fun - HOOP

Is that Henry Kissinger ?

It's not Kissinger but a lookalike Hans Glas

We see here - Hans Glas and his grandson Goggo

The roomy sedan - the classic coupe - the sporty Dart

The pickup and a model of the Transporter van

Now let's see Goggos as far as the eye can see

Cartoonie Cars today

I went to see the new Addam's Family show on Broadway last night.
Someone happened to send me this Addams Family postcard yesterday.
So I thought a cartoon car day was the thing to do. Now a car-toon.

It's puddle jumpin' time

Way back in the old days, and sometimes to this day

some people get the idea to build a car themselves

Here are some examples - The last "Puddle Jumper" is a kit

Here is another Puddle Jumper from the 1940's
