funny I thought the top one was Dico's during his project :-D

yes, we should get our own wreck gallery, since I can think of the wrecks, parts cars, and off-roading thicket pictures we have generated over the years . . .

This is a good place as any to post these pic`s, MikeI sent these to me awhile ago but they were 9meg and blocked my email but i`ve now manage to retrieve them. Suppose this is a warning to others that how important it is to have a rollbar fitted :shock:

No he wasn't OK, but he survived.

Nothing but a full race harness would stop gravity taking over and the driver dropping out of the seat and grinding along the road, head first. :shock:

He posted the full story here.

I think with a harness he would of come even more worst off as he wouldnt beable to pull him self away, just look what happen to the top of the seats :shock: so it`s got to be a rollbar for full protection

Andrew Eniss's on the wall and there was a red one from Southampton way ( forgotten the owners name - but it was a lady) which flipped as well.
