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 
But never say never - If I've got nothin' to do at 3AM some night
I might just put up a post as a former member for old times sake
wHOOPee

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
