andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	One of my recent clients (and long term IM friend), who was already a paraplegic after a motorbike accident, did this to his crazy Supra the other day: http://www.roboldham.net/deadsupe/ Luckily both he and his passenger are ok. Be careful out there guys... _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	Apparently he lost the rear end at 60mph, over corrected, hit telegraph pole and rolled into a field. It was a suitably modified engine, don't know how powerful it was though. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

loren carpal tunnel Registered: 23/08/2000 Posts: 3826 Loc: SLC, UT, USA	So he had the gas/brake rigged up to be hand controlled? Looks like an interesting rig. _________________________ \|\| loren \|\|
