| Scroll down the page on the above website to find the following story - "At age 19, Norman was in the second year of a contract with a Midwestern tire company and was paid to live his dream, racing non-wing sprint cars. However, during summer 1970, Norman was in a racing accident that resulted in a C5/6 spinal-cord injury. Due to his training as a medic he was painfully aware that his life's dream had just ended.
After moving to San Diego, old dreams resurfaced and Norman built and ran a dune buggy in the desert, earned his pilots license flying sailplanes and started dreaming about racing again". |
| What's it all about..? To achieve my own goal of driving in my all-terrain vehicle from Kalgoorlie Western Australia to Cobar in New South Wales. All off-road, camping on the side of the road and hopefully making people realise that being in a wheelchair doesn't stop you from living a normal life! |

Space Drive technology by PARAVAN has allowed him to drive his modified VW Transporter and get around on the farm with his Polaris RZR. PME Auto Conversions are very proud to have helped Rob get back to living a productive and purposeful life on the farm |

It pulls the wheelchair user over "sticks and stones" or over curbs without any problems.
