Hi their has anyone got a disabily on this forum

 

Very random question mate! Any reason why?

 

Dave, do you think your disability defines you?

 

I was wondering as I am paralised, I seen some evos and skylines modifed and their is a post on all of them asking about it I was wondering how many menbers you have with a disability

 

OK so far the following people have a disabilty

bugeyejohn, disabled-dave, djquest, hiranak

 

Dave perhaps you should do a survey on the Honda website as well,ive seen way more disabled people driving Hondas than any other type for some reason.

 

i have one bicep slightly bigger than the other.

 

You forgot about being terminally fugly

 

we aint never seen your name on the britains bonniest list either.

 

i only have 316bhp does that count?

 

what kind of mods have you done to your car if you have got a disability

 

only a hawk sti PPP but i have 'got used to it' after 2 years if you know what i mean

i wonder if there's a government grant i can apply for so i can get a re-map?

 

My pal is paralised from the waste down. Never stopped him having fast cars, he recently sold his E46 M3 (smg box with steering wheel accelerator and hand controlled brake) and now has a new 335D Msport with similar hand controls.
Plus, he gets all the vat off when buying a brand new car. Saves a bloody fortune.

 

bugeyejohn, Diamanti, disabled-dave, djquest, Empty, hiranak, stealthy1

thats the latest now for poeple with a disabilty or disabled what ever you want to call it

 

Driving a car with full hand controls must be very strange , id love to have a go in one , it would be like playing on the ps3 .

 

i have 3 legs

 

come on guys support Dave, hes asking a legit question.

but to be honest dave a scooby is a car so any disabled Mods ie Steering paddles etc would be fine.

 

My dad is disabled, suffered with polio as a kid been on cruches since he was 3. Never bothered him though, and he'll always win at arm wrestling

When I learnt to drive he drove manuals with full handcontrols, additional lever by the gear stick for the footbrake, 2 levers under the steering wheel for the clutch and throttle, was quite interesting to drive, a couple of hairy moments turning right across a busy B road, putting my foot on the brake and my knee caught the throttle instead!! plus occasionally going to change from 4th to 3rd and catching the brake instead !!

 

i would guess its not strange at all.
like the first time we all started driving, using pedals and hands to drive was something that we had to become acustom to, to some degree at least.
for someone who has no choice but to use hand controls, i would imagine they get used to it in the same manner.

 

you are exactly right Andy

 

their is a mobility show down south http://www.mobilityroadshow.co.uk/

http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...+controls&aq=f

they links I provided are good for information and to see how hand controls work

 

Naidex is at the NEC on 5-7 April. That also is a good exhibition but as Dave has put 'the mobility road show' normally has quite a bit to do with adapted vehicles

 

guys join up with http://www.facebook.com/pages/DJCC/1...489172?sk=info

thats the facebook if you want to support people with a disablity you can also use our comment board if you want a passenger ride by someone who is disabled

 

I know someone who is paralysed from the waist down who owns a very very fast P1 with the hand controls The problem is, now, it`s been fitted with a paddle clutch so it`s much more difficult to use the hand controls......sooooo now he`s got a ummmmm, long estate type Subaru (I forgot what they`re called )

*Ahhh, a Legum, that`s it*

 

I know they look hard I dont drive at present but I would be willing to do it soon, the new modern evos have got built in hand controls

 

Im lucky enough to not to need any driving aids as i am still mobile.Ive got damage to the discs in my lower back from moto x riding i was told as long as i manage it ok leave it alone as surgery would be too risky and could leave me in a wheel chair.So its good to see some of the aids to help you drive.

 

can we get this a sticky please

 

Not disabled my self, nor a subaru owner either for that matter.

But I have saw quite a few adapted subarus for sale around this area (north east).

There was a STI with rally graphics for sale not long ago which had hand controls.

 

does anyone know if their is any wheelchair bound users on here for scoobys

 

bump come on their must be more disabled users than that on here
