N-Digital Report ("Ninco Bob" went to Spain and tested the N-Digital product) This report was filed when N-Digital was 1st released. I'd say that I'm the 1st in the US to have N-Digital. Probably the 1st to trade it away too! LOL Not that there was anything wrong with it but it just wasn't feasible for a guy that races alone to have a system geared for 3 or more racers. It's too bad because I really liked it.

Very Funny Video Clip...
