Still no idea how I lost it but the safety devices saved my life. If it was not for the roll cage and four point harness I would not be here.
You may not like the look of the scaffold but it does a good job.
Just sorting out the paper work now

Steve,
No need to experience every things that have been written on this forum ...
Thanks you are ok enough to post these sad pictures of your baby.
Tell us that you will have it back on the road .
As I wrote it on my blog , a complete rollbar was one of the first mods I made on "OEW" , and if quite tricky to put inside , it is a real peace maker when driving in the traffic or on track ...

Very glad to see that you have come out OK from a bad experience.
Incidentally, I was wondering what make and type of tyre you have on the front of your car.
Regards
Ian

Steve,
Glad to hear that you've escaped without too much damage - if not the baby. (Hope you were fully comp!).
Think on the bright side - it'll give you another page (or 2) for your excellent website.
