Roll bar made from spagetti?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Forget the roll cage. that thing looks positively dangerous (and stupid) that high up on such small wheels.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

to be fair, if you look over on any US sites people use 1.5" tube for cages all the time, it might bend but as long as the welding is good it'll save your life.

But yes it does need some bigger tyres!

Thats nothing. Saw this wonder made of no other than uni-strut in a scrappy the other day. Was cut through the bulkhead and bolted to the very rotten front floor wells as well!

Best place for it if you ask me! :hahaha:

I recognise that car from Haynes scrap yard. Used to be driven at my local pay & play....

Guess the wipers didn't work either :doublethumbs:

Looks like a roof rack, not a cage.
