Might have been the original idea, but the driver would want to be pretty
fit. I had the ps pump die on me as I just as I reached the top of a local
mountain.  The first I knew was the fraulein telling me "warning brake
system defective" just want youy want to hear going into the first corner
at about 4x the posted speed!

The brakes pulled up fine, but the steering went instantly heavy.  The
brakes made about another 2km, about the amount of time as my arms.
