[alfa] Throttle Cable Blues...

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So... I was driving home from work on Tuesday when my throttle cable 
snapped. Called my dad, he came down with tools, and we jury rigged 
some speaker wire to get home. That's about when I realized that nobody 
seems to sell throttle cables for a Spider. Rather than just go the 
easy way and get some generic cable and make my own, we decided to be a 
bit different. His 12 string guitar became an 11 string, but it seems 
to work so far (25 spirited miles).
