Re: [MBZ] Fun read
I don't full understand the engineering behind it but the concept is that you open the doors with an electric motor and this motor would hold the door shut or open. Eliminating the need for door handles and gas struts. However I would think it would need some sort of locking mechanism to stop the door from opening in a crash?

Just to clarify, when the author state Malcolm Bricklin, the American businessman who introduced the Yugo in this country, already had a string of failures to his credit. Most notable among his missteps was a disastrous gull-winged sports car called the Bricklin, which was famously produced without door locks because of a supplier mix-up. he does not know that the Bricklin gullwings where powered at the push of a button, thus not needing door locks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1 Hendrik who is expanding the lists collective knowledge base, one trivial fact after another Rich Thomas wrote: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870434575095970909247434.html?mod=WSJ_Books_LS_Books_5 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I didn't know that, but figured that passage took some credibility away from the author anyway.

Re: [MBZ] Fun read
I actually got to put my hands on a Bricklin once. It rolled around the neighborhood where I grew up in Southern California. I didn't know much about its rarity then.
