Roll Cages: Why you should buy a weld in cage!

[shelley bda]

Awesome pictures! thank god for roll cages and that your all ok though

I'll send Jon round with his panel beating hammers ( he's a qualified panel beater ) to sort it for ya

[badass]

Good story Zak and bad luck but I'm sure the pair of you and the car will bounce back stronger than ever

[Lowe]

You gonna weld a new roof in then? Cos that one's seen better days huh?

Glad you're both OK Zak, I really do. WHen I saw the thread title I was fearing the worst mate. When you're playing hard in motorsport, you can sometimes crash hard and the difference between competitivness and last place can be a couple of seconds at most. It's all about finding your limits and well - this time I guess you did find it!

Still, better to crash out than rust away mate. Hope she comes back even stronger, and you pair a little wiser, if not slightly sore.

yes my friend..new roof, wings, bonnet and drivers door.

and thanks for your concern...I just hope I can find coverage of the crash....would love to see it from outside.

[XTR]

Glad you are both ok... thats the main thing.

Poor car.... it doesnt look too bad. Sounds like you were having fun though!

Holy **** - glad to hear you are both OK Zak, though not the same, I've seen some nasty off's at the track and its good to know, although they might be silly expensive, that a decent cage does whats expected.
Hope your back out soon.

Glad to see you both came out relatively unscathed apart from a few bruises to the ego

Shame about the car though

Glad you're both okay - thanks for pics and vid!

Would a modern car (picking one out of a hat) say a VW Golf survive a rollover crash like this? I mean from a safety point of view, are modern cars this strong now?

Have you thought about having an in-car video recorder recording your rallies?

The damage wouldn't polish out that's for sure.

You may not die but the car would be a write off. How tall are you?

Glad all is okay.... but new bonnett? What about the uber HEXUS brandage?

I'l be on the phone to you about that soon enough

[Big RICHARD]

T Cut will sort that. No bother!

Glad you're ok. Considering you went upside down at silly speeds the car looks pretty unscathed.

Hope you get it sorted soon and are back racing as if nothing happened!

[DR]

I say a little hammer

[[GSV]Trig]

Like I said the other day, glad ur both ok..
Not reshelling tho?
Weld in cages are the dogs, anyone see the pix of the inside of the old Reyland Escort, they were going a touch faster when they rolled n the inside of the car was pretty much ok...

[5lab]

bit ot, but would it not be a bit quicker without all that plastic dash weighing her down?

glad the cage did its job, imo just replace the screen, then you've not lost so much when you crash again
