Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] Chairs
At one time I had visions of modifying my Quicke P300 2/93 to 8/99 and making a pulling chair to pull a small tractor pull type sled. I passed the chair on to a friend who's father was an amputee (leg) due to diebetis and only had a manual chair and just lost his wife, who never let him have a power chair.

Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] Chairs
I wonder why she was against a power chair? Most people want to get their loved one in a power chair because its less pushing for both and more independence. Maybe they didn't have a vehicle to haul it or the wife was afraid the power chair would ruin the carpet.

Whats that ridiculously expensive chair that expands the wheelbase with a switch? I saw one on ebay, it extends out longer for higher speeds and offroad driving.

You are right. Jaguars and early Vettes were notorious for breakdowns. The ambience is worth the irritation though If you have a deep pocket.

By comparison, some of the fastest cars I know, require the most amount of daily work and adjustments, because they are fast. Because a chair operates faster, means that its harder on the suspension, wheels, bearings and energy usage. You can expect to change the tires more often, which could be costly. I've seen old chairs with new parts work better than some brand new chairs, so in some cases it is better to consider a rebuild over a newer design. But consider all of those reasons.
