Look on the bright side, you are alive and can start fresh with something else now.
All the best with the next project/demo car.

Simon, totally gutted for you - loved the car. You really got some air, glad you are ok - that's the main thing. Please say you will build another. The cage really held up well. Was it a 6 point? Welded in?

Hi Rick,
Its was an OMP 6 point bolt in. Fairly well bent now.
Plans are allready afoot, with building a new demo car.
