I remember seeing a longer version of the story mentioned on this site:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]Christopher's best story was of a young man who rented an Austin Healy Sprite and removed the windshield so the car was low enough to drive UNDER the barriers and through the S-shaped path at Checkpoint Charlie. Of course, his head could not protrude above the hood level, so he had to memorize the path and drive blind. With his wife prone behind the sports car seat and his mother-in-law hidden in the trunk, he gunned the throttle and somehow wove his way through the barricades![/QUOTE]
Does anyone have a copy or know where to find the rest of that story. I remember it was pretty detailed talking about lining the trunk with bricks in case they were shot at and making sure the cars was really short enough to clear.
