how is it adapted? Mate of mine with spina bifida (sorry if spelling is miles out) had a fiesta auto with hand throttle...but Ive never heard of an auto scoob, and I CERTAINLY wouldnt drive one one handed....How on earth is it rigged?

I cant for the life of me imagine how you drive it...

ps Im making the assumption from ignorance that you have either a limb missing (or similar) or ar paralysed in some way. Please educate me if Im way off the mark. Wouldnt want to offend through ignorance. If I decide I dont like you I'll offend you properly from a position of knowledge ( j/k)

Broken back.Paralised from waist down.As to driving,its a manual P1 with infa red clutch system and standard hand controls.Clutch works that when you put your hand on the gear stick the clutch peddal goes down and you put it into gear,when you take your hand off the clutch comes out.

A P1... top motor!

Infa red clutch is very clever..

I struggle to keep my Scooby under control and that is without a disability (physically anyway).
