The original "Zippy" History

[ejp2fast]

Recently we have a new member- ZippysMama, and she and her husband (who built Zippy) is from the Tulsa area here and the original DJ Zippy originated in their garage!!!!!! SWEEEEEEET!

Here is a link:

Thought this was kind of cool, and I have yet to meet up locally with ZippysMama and the family... but I am already looking forward to it.

Thought others would be interested in this info!

Nice to see the build up of Zippy. I saw the car in person and it was VERY top notch.

Hi! :::waving to everyone::: Thanks for the intro, Eric!

Will be posting more in the way of any intro soon (I just kind of jumped in, like I always do) but we are still VERY definately a Festiva family, and our 16-year old daughter is currently working on HER first Festiva - a silver '90 L+ ATX (codename: The Batmobile) with Chuck, getting it roadworthy!

We also have a Red '89 L (Lucy) and a Blue '92 GL (Ethel) Lucy is currently in the garage, awaiting some TLC. Ethel is roadworthy, but is sans carpet - we have been chasing down a particularly nasty water leak, and so the carpet stays out until we are sure she is sealed up good!

Eventually, Z2, The Sequel will appear - Chuck is still waiting for the right candidate for his new Zippy project. Till then, I think we have enough to keep us busy!

That's really cool.

I remember when DJ had it. It was his wife's car.

He let me drive it once, and that thing could fly. Afterward, driving my stock Festiva lost a bit of its luster lol.
