Hi Jerry and everyone...

Well, I seem to have struck a nerve with you Jerry by questioning the
reality of the air powered car and the veracity of the sources of info we
all seem to be getting interested in.

But lets look at the facts.

The web site http://www.necnp.org/aircar.htm says this...

"I found this article in February 1988 and posted it on this web site.
People have shown incredible interest in this "Air Car." Hits to this page
comprise 25% of all hits to this web site. I have tried without luck to
find contact information for the inventor of the "Air Car," Guy Negre,
and/or for his French company, CQFD Air SOlution. If anyone out there
should make contact with Mr. Negre please forward the contact information
to me by email. "

Doesn't it seem strange that in the last 12 months, despite the incredible
traffic to the web site, this webmaster has Not been able to find out
anything more about the car, the person, or the company that invented it to
the point where it has licensed it for a production of 40,000 vehicles per
year?

We need to recognise that there is virtually NO info on this machine,
despite the claim that it has been created by a French business, an Italian
firm has designed the Mexican version, and "a Mexican licensee, Dina, has
signed a contract to produce an estimated 40,000 ZP taxis and urban
delivery vehicles a year".

Oh, and we know it has two cylinders and runs on compressed air.

And I would not suggest that because this 'news' has been posted on an
anti-nuclear site it should be ignored. But I am saying that such a site
would be happy to publish anything that supported their position and as
such we should double check the info before giving it credence. This
includes not assuming that a similar article, quoting similar numbers, in a
new age mag is an independent source.

Hey, I'm not against new ideas being thrown into the ring for discussion,
but this article has no ideas, no theories, no descriptions,.....all it has
is claims.

Oh, and did anyone notice that Guy Negre is an anagram for Energy Gu ?

That's all from me......

Cheers everyone.
