Is a v12 AMG Merc not fun enough for you?

It'd have to be a proper track rollcage though. Not those fancy chrome hoops that you see on many of them- that also carry a disclaimer.

I mentioned this on a MX5 forum once, basically what I see as the MX5's Achilles heel. If you flip etc the car you are at a real risk of street furniture killing you (yes its a convertible) but also the screen-height etc compared to many modern convertibles isnt the safest for 6ft drivers is it?

yip both are bars that are similar to the FIA bar you get on Caterhams.
4 point rollbar thats bolted to the structural points of the car.
TR Lane

there are other styles from both.

while not as safe as a full 6 point cage that the race 5s have, it is more usable, since a 6 point cage would stop you having a roof

Do those bars also come with swing and slide attachments for kids?

Julian - what a great sounding event. Did you go there last year? Why not start a thread discussing the event. Some people might be interested to know it is back on this year for the weekend of August 21/22nd
