both the red with all the chrome looks nice so does the orange. The greens are ok not really my thing though maybe if it was lighter. The greyish blue looks ok to. As for the yellow ive seen a few round you need to keep it clean or it looks like an old banger.

lol, yeah exactly, I've had about 2 canary yellow 200B wagons, and they look quite old, I still think a flat british racing green would do it

yeh it would look cool with chrome. What about SX blue its always appealed to me with some white racing stripes and maybe white sx rims. It might be more of a sedan thing but i think it would transfer well.

oh right, sounds ok. I think thats more of a sss version rather than a wagon, I think wagons should just keep with a standard colour, maybe if I get a sedan version of a 200B I would end up looking down that road.

yeh true. I think just get a colour the utelises all that chrome. It stops the car looking cheap or like a late 80s corolla wagon.

you looking at charging your batteries using a belt driven alternator?
I've always wondered why they don't do that......

Unfortunately using a belt driven alternator does not work, we tried it in the 1989 free energy quest and the belt driven alternator draws more current under load than it produces, what we ended up doing was to put a wheel barrow wheel on a wind down frame under the vehicle with a belt drive from my Harley to a dynamo then sent the current to a voltage step down and voltage regulator. I have sent this design to several vehicle manufacturers and they have all told me that it is not sustainable, maybe burkey567 can prove them all wrong.

That pretty much it, and I plan to prove the car manufacturing industry wrong, with the use of magnets and many different sources of sustainable power, including the use of alternators and what have you, I plan to completely change the way that electric cars are made and ran, I plan to reduce moving parts and friction throughout the use of a different kind of brakes, steering, engine and charging system. Hopefully everything works out fine, I cant see why this wouldn't work and with a couple of years of planning, I have finally come up with this.

After doing a youtube search, this is basically the principle of what is going to occur in my electric car, obviously this isn't exactly what it would be, but for a basic idea, this would probably be the best candidate:
