         A great way to go. Thankfully he wasn't on the Freeway with the
cruise on.  I had one of his early "Digitools" for my 1.9 WBX, I found it
to be useful  for what it was. It gave you on the fly info of all systems
controlled by the ECU.
         My kids loved to play with it as we drove down the road. I had it
hardwired into my truck. I sold the truck and the tool to a bloke in
Hawaii  that I believe still has it today. RIP Darryl.
