WorldStar By Composite Automobile Research Ltd., Wins Praise in Crash Tests At Texas A&M University

    EL CAJON, Calif.--May 12, 1999--Composite Automobile Research Ltd.,(OTCBB:CARHF) and its wholly owned subsidiary, World Transport Authority Inc., announced the very successful results of a series of professionally prepared and observed crash tests.
    The tests were conducted by W. R. "Rusty" Haight, Instructor, with Texas A & M University System in College Station, Texas late in 1998.
    Instructor Haight, a Guiness Book of Records record holder for number of crash tests in a day; 26, crashed the WorldStar nose first into a concrete loading dock at 22mph and crashed a Ford Motor Co. sedan into the WorldStar broadside at 40mph. The resultant damage to the WorldStar was a snapped hood hinge set ($31.00) and a set of rubber hood straps ($19.50) from nose first crash; and a three inch crack in the door jam (less than $100) from the broadside impact which totally wrecked the Ford Motor product.
    The Texas A & M instructor stated to Douglas Norman, World Transport Authority Director of International Sales yesterday at a Texas A & M Crash Test for national TV airing at the El Cajon Speedway racing facility; "The WorldStar is the most rugged and durable vehicle we have ever crash-tested. No one at the crash-test site in Texas believed the WorldStar was anywhere nearly as strongly built as it definitely proved to be. It is one very tough pick-up."
    The WorldStar was designed to be manufactured in the emerging nations of the world by local semi-skilled labor. The WTA composite monocoque chassis is the ideal platform for local transportation needs. WTA is the only company serving the emerging nations worldwide with a locally manufactured and serviced line of utility vehicles.
