Fwd: [ODE] problems with hinge2 & car steering

[maddocks@metservice.com]

This is correct. I use a high friction so the wheels don't spin under 
power and I use dContactSlip1 | dContactSlip2 to simulate side slip or 
skidding under high turning forces so the car  doesn't roll. It is still 
possible to roll my car (which may be a problem with a high c of g) but 
I figure it's possible to do it real life so why not in my game.
