Ed- Unreal. I kept expecting to see it rolled up into a package about as big as a bowling ball, but it actually looked pretty stable.

seems like crazyness to drive it but it probably has a really good tube frame chassis under the stock body.

And all being well later in the new year I'll get to bear out that reports findings. 500's not going anywhere and TR on the cards
