Mike,

Try giving Ron Millamen a shout.   He is another fisherperson and he is looking for folks to talk to.

  Sally,

  I would only be interested if I could purchase the technology as a separate item and could put it on my old 11 second Mark 7 LSC Lincoln!

  Do you think they would consider this  a bolt on?

   

  OK, Now who wants to run?

  Three Beeps? Or when the light greens?

   

  Sorry, Just some old street racing flashbacks!

   

  Back to reality! Guess they would call this car a "Smart car".

  I also guess it wouldn't be too smart, with a blind guy in one, and blowing away corvettes, from light to light?

   

  Oh well, if Gilligan could always dream about getting off that damn island, I guess I can dream about this too!

   

   

   

  Toodles!....Mike

  Michael,  Now where'd I mount that damn Nytrus button? Ulrich

  I am only interested if it is a motorcycle or a red or yellow sports car. (smile) That is what I would have if I could drive.

    This is very intriguing technology but much more work needs to be done to make this real anytime soon.
