Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Fun - Hydraulics

[LtWacko (ltwacko]

Has anyone ever dared making a lowrider out of a Ferrari?  Cruise around a 
corner at slow speeds on three wheels?   Dance the car around in a circle?  
Scrape anyone? There has got to be one on the web somewhere!

Who hasn't wanted to play with a car on hydraulics once in their life?
