[ausev] press screening for wktec

[Roy Holder]

I disagree on #4.  The people are seeing a movie whose underlying premise
is that electric cars do not work.  I think the best thing is to show as
wide a range of useful electric vehicles as possible, cars & trucks, new
and old, something for everybody.  We as a group do have that wide range of
vehicles.
The Henney Kilowatt, a production car 40-50+/- years old, and still running
says a lot.

Just a table and materials about EV's does not carry as much weight about
the validity of VE's to me as actually seeing them.
