why?

As Peter Wheeler allegedly responded when asked why TVR didn't fit airbags

'Dont Crash then' laugh

Seriously Marcus it's such a well planted car IMHO you would have a job flipping it would be interested in seeing what it looked like though (reinforced mullet might work) smile

There's one built into the windscreen surround.

It saved a PH life a couple of years ago when he rolled his Tam - can't remember his name but the photos were impressive.

Wasn't Podie was it?

they are fifty quid but worth it in my opinion used to have a couple of bin bags but they did not have the desired look

A guy on here called Phil had an ex-Terry Grant Tamora with roll bar (could have been from Safety Devices, but I can't quite remember). Problem was it took up all the dog seat/parcel shelf.

Easy to roll any car, even at low speeds. Just need a minor skid and a 2 inch kerb!

Never quite got my head around this one, It always amazes me that people over here with a 35mph speed limit have managed to flip their car. (speeding! Really!)

Sure a 4x4 and A classs mercs are top heavy but when you consider the centre of gravity of a tamora is about 300mm off the ground and the car is less than 1100kg

I would have thought that you would have had to be giving it large with the loud pedal to be able to flip it

:Waits eagerly in anticipation for some bright mathmatical genius to prove me wrong smilie:

I also refer the honourable gentleman to my previous comment
