Burgers Cars and Welding - Edition 1

On the night of, came the Hotwash (a term we used in the Marines for a quick debrief after an intense engagement), now here we have a more complete post with pictures.

Burgers Cars and Welding (Edition 1) is over and the crowd has dissipated. Here is the recap......

It was a huge success:

-About 30 attendees.
-All were fed, great burgers from the Kool Kone - Local Burger joint run by Tom Strom.

















-All (or most of age) had a Narragansett (local) beer. Getting ready for the 'Gansett event shown here is the multi-talented LM team member, Karin Drake Ostebo.





























-All learned something about welding and about vehicle rear suspension... specifically the Watts Link, demonstrated by LM Master Welder, Colby Whipple, (facing camera, on left, in black) and Chief Motorhead, Jay Rogers (pointing and talking...as usual:)).































(Demonstration Board of The Watts Link - Subject of BCW #1 - Yes this was actually welded and assembled in less than 5 minutes in front of the crowd)

-People came from all over. NYC to France, and across all jobs - auto techs, finance, marketing, clergy, parents... what a diverse and wonderful crowd.
-Kids played in heaven in the pink foam squares.

















-Adults mingled and learned about the automotive industry's newest entrant.
-The Rally Fighter was exposed for the first time to the prying public.

















(LM Rally Fighter in its most natural environment)

-Everyone is ready to come back with a friend who loves cars on July 10th at 5 pm.

I simply couldn't be happier. We had one primary goal and that was

"to introduce Local Motors as a local car company that is reinventing the way in which people experience cars."

We achieved that goal in spades. Join us at the next one July 10th 5pm. The burgers, the teaching, the fun, and the Pride in Local auto is free! The bragging right to say you attended the few events where it all began is priceless.
