Long Island Prius Owners Group

Yay!! I know exactly where it is! I take Smith Street from Wellwood/Pinelawn Road...a right onto Smith!

See you there!

Let's hope for a big CROWD of Prii and their owners!

See you there... and with my new Prii. Hopefully, I'll have it this weekend. Looking forward to meeting you all.

 

I will be able to make this one. I could walk. It's only a half mile from my house. But I will drive - It'll give me a chance to show off the pin strips and the LED signaling mirrors.

sunil, that was FAST!

It was great meeting you all... Horacio with his PHEV mod was amazing.

and thanks for those who gave me their $10 D&B game cards... kept me entertained for couple of hours. lol.

See you all next time!

 

sunil!! Thanks for the photos!! I saved them...couldn't open the video..I just downloaded the WMedia 10 this week...tells me to restart and log on as administrator....maybe specific to your site???? (just checked...it's my Media Player...going to have to uninstall WMP10...and start over.

Very good to meet you....What a nice group of people we have, right???

Sorry you couldn't stay for lunch....January? Hope we don't have and SNOW hampering us.

terri

Ditto to Scott Y's comments. Thanks so much, Horacio, for sharing the PHEV....outrageously cool!!! Good to see you and everyone else and wonderful meeting Sonya as well....

Glad you liked the cards, Scott...could you just use them without getting more food???

Terri, try using VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). It plays bunch of video formats unlike Windows Media Player, where you have to download codecs.

 

It looked like a fun time. Congratulations on your mod Horacio.

Thanks, Scott...it was my updated version of WMP...I rolled back to the earlier version and all is well!!

I have no problems with WMP usually...was the newest download/upgrade.

Hi all LIPOG members, neighbors states participants and family members for showing up to our last 2006 year meet-up and to participate in the DUAL PWR-PHEV conversion presentation, it was nice to see all familiar faces once again for this personal moment.

I would like to thank you all for taking your time to make this a memorable one for me and all.

Fallowing are few of the pictures taken today.

"mrbigh" in front of his DUAL PWR-PHEV, a 2004 Prius converted vehicle showing components and equipment used in his completed project.


Reviewing Technical's on the car and Q&A activities.

Great topic was the 3 cars with LED signal side mirrors installed by group members.
"Terri", "ScottY", "Danatt" (drove all the way from Ct.), "Wuisme", "Syclone".

The DUAL PWR-PHEV conversion technical presentation made by mrbigh will be posted in our <span style="color:#990000">LIPOG's website for

open source information and public knowledge shortly.

 

LIPOG Members -

Thanks for welcoming me in your group today. I had a great time checking out all the modifications you've done.

Horatio - the PHEV job was quite impressive. - Can't wait to see all your documentation online.

Emil, Sy, Robert, Scott, others - I was thinking about that BT plate on my drive home, and whether or not the original design had that plate being less stiff for any reason other than cost. Do we know what that plate looks like in the '07 Touring models, which have a stiffer suspension?

I'll be watching these pages.

Thanks again.

Dan

 

Great photos, Horacio!! Thanks again for the demo and for allowing us to see the REAL DEAL PHEV!!

I saved all the photos....Love the car line-up!

terri

 

Horacio: Thanks for the great presentation and the photos.

... and thanks to all from LIPOG for making this an educational and enjoyable Sunday afternoon!

Hope to see everyone again at the next meetup.

Cheers,

Robert (Wuisme!)

 

Just wanted to let everyone know I had a great time and it was more like reuniting with old friends rather than just getting acquainted for the first time. Next time I'll make sure I stay longer.

Thanks for the pics (and yes Terri, I too really like the lineup but I especially liked the short lineup drive to D&B's). Wish I hadn't missed your original presentation Horacio but there's always next month to get caught up.

Emile, just checked out Sigma and Toyota Metro for the rear bumper and mud guards. I noticed Toyota Metro was cheaper. Is there a catch here somewhere? Do you recommend one over the other? <_< Was going to place an order but then figured I'd check with you first. Also, Sigma seems to carry two different types of window deflectors. One for $95 (dark tint), the other for $119 but I couldn't see where the difference was. Any input on this?

Will see you all again next month. Take care.

Mia

 

Horatio,
Thanks for sharing pics of your event! It looks like a good time was had by all.
Hopefully you (and maybe some other LIPOG members?) will be able to make the trip out to Hybridfest in 2007. I'm sure there will be other PHEV owners there who will want to compare notes with you. Heck you could even do a presentation if you want!
Anyway, I look forward to reading more about your plug in Prius on the LIPOG site.

You talking the bumper guard? Which one, the clear or the black? I was less than thrilled with my Sigma buyng experience, so if someone else has it for less, go for it. You might also try
