I dont know about mad dog, but I like the extension.  And it seems to be a

really neat car but I have a feeling he will have too much engine for the

car.  Any way, the self canceling turn signals is an easy concept.  I could

make up a real quick diagram of how to use 2 relays, a micro switche and two

pushbutton switches to do the same thing in the pantera.  The circuit would

consist of a simple latch to hold the on the turn signal and the micro

switch would be mounted on the coulmn against some bump.  As the bump passed

the micro switch it would unlatch the relay turning off the turn signal.

Simple aint it.  If you want a schematic I could make one and post it to the

list in a windows paint bitmap.
