Mr. McFarkle,
I don't want to be a pest, but am attempting to get as much information
about the destroyed vehicle for our archives. (information about the
other vehicle and its owner would also be most welcome). Please
understand that the longer we wait, the harder it will be to track down
the information. I have little doubt that we have a club member located
near the final resting place of the "Hydro 2000" who would be happy to
do the legwork of getting the serial #. I respectfully request, on
behalf of Bricklin International and it's members, to know where the
remains of the car wound up. Also, any other information you can provide
would also be GREATLY appreciated.
I am CC'ng our mailing list so you don't get bombarded by other requests
for the same information. Any replies sent to me will be forwarded to
them, also (since you are not a member of the mailing list, you will not
be able to post to it). We hold at least two 'National' meets per year,
and also publish a quarterly club magazine. Any information you allow us
to distribute will be given to our club membership during the meets, and
I'm sure our publisher would love to do a feature article in our club
magazine about the episode (good for TKR, yes?). We would REALLY like to
have the 'Hydro 2000' and its owner to come to one (or both) of our
meets. Would it be possible for you to put us in contact with him/her?
Again - Our thanks!

Dear Michael,
You are correct sir. That was a Bricklin SV-1. We used two to
be exact.
One we completely destroyed with det. cord.
Thanks for your interest,
The Producers
