If there is one way I would describe my friend James MacNaughton, I would say that he is “punctuated by conscientious integrity”. He is one of the most trustworthy and loyal friends that I know. It should come as no surprise that when he decided to start a book keeping business that I am going to give him a very positive recommendation: if you want someone who is as obsessed with details and conscientiousness, as he is with integrity, I would look no further than this guy.

I think the root cause is pretty clear. With a solid front axle, the impact pushed the front wheel under the left side of the chassis, causing that side to spring in to the air and flip over.

This is what you get when you have a company which is more concerned with selling "cool" than safe and more interested in selling something that appeals to our emotions than our sensibilities.
