Or are you seeing them spin the same way?<BR><BR>So you are implying that if I drive a car off a ramp at a very high speed, then ram the <BR>handbrake on while still in the air, the front end of my car will suddenly shoot upward? <BR>Or, alternatively that if I drive slowly off a cliff and then accelerate very rapidly, the <BR>front end will dip? These are the sorts of things 
 that are happening in my simulation.<BR><BR>-Thomas<P>When words aren't enough - Vodafone live! A new world of colour, sounds, picture messages and information on your mobile. <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4909903;7724245;q?http://www.vodafone.co.uk/live">
