Do roll-cages make road cars safer? Cars that are expected to get a battering: rally cars, demolition derby cars etc generally have comprehensive cages rather than air-bags and crumple zones yet I'm sure I read somewhere that cages in ordinary road-going vehicles can be dangerous in an accident. Can anyone elaborate as the two ideas seem to contradict each other. I'm thinking of full...

Well, you know about all these rough border towns... We came back from Edinburgh last Friday, and found the bottom of the road blocked by boy racers and drunk people loitering around.

Liked it. A lot. As in really liked it. Drove beautifully bar a minor problem with the brakes, which the bloke told me about and said he'd get sorted before he sells it. But seriously, liked it a lot. As in loads. No cruise control though, so I'm on the lookout for another.
