Is anyone interested in helping Kirk with this project for the City? This would be in association with the Energy Action Team of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition. Thanks.

Hello All, 
I have a request. I would like you to evaluate the attached 
photo and website regarding a possible project. This vehicle was 
entered in the 2006 Kinetic Sculpture Race by Allen Brown. 
I was looking for a possible vehicle to be used for a solar 
charging station that could be transported or transport itself around 
town for solar demonstrations and thought I would check for existing 
vehicles. I checked with folks who ran the Kinetic Sculpture Race 
(KSR) and they eventually guided me to this vehicle known as Sojourner 
and modeled after the NASA Mars Sojourner (three sets of wheels). I 
made contact with the current owner, Dave Nieman, this weekend. He is 
storing the vehicle in various pieces in his garage and attic (for 12 
years). 
The question is who would be interested in helping to restore 
this vehicle (I would)? We would need a storage/assembly location and 
funding. The city has been considering bike trailer recharging 
stations; we might be able to find a funding source; if they are 
interested in the design. Any questions, let me know or we can discuss 
them at the meeting, Nov 5th. 
Thanks, 
Kirk Rensmeyer
