Hi Marco,

Gee, no tricks that I know of, it just works for me.  If there's a problem
in my code (this is a possibility for sure!), I'd like to work it out so
everyone here could use it.  Some things to try:  1. I use sphere collision
shapes for my wheels.  2. Make sure no collision occurs between the cars
body and wheels.

It could be that your wheels are spinning so fast that you are experiencing
problem #3 in my first post.

I'd be happy to email you a sample of the before and after this patch.  It
works really!

Regards,
Mike
