Re: Announcing the arrival of a new baby . . . race car !!!

We have a lot of roses, hence the name of chez nous, 'Le Clos de la Rose', but alas all the horses around here have been replaced with tractors.

Thank goodness we're out of Jiffies!

Re: Announcing the arrival of a new baby . . . race car !!!

Bill, there are many, many drivers who have raced Austin 7's and other open vintage cars for years with out suffering any negative consequences. My accident was unfortunate, I drive at the limit and got unlucky that day, there was an oil spillage in a fast blind corner, the car hit it, went sideways, then found grip and barrel rolled. Fitting a full cage is the only way I would want to be strapped in, that might be difficult to safely construct in a seven, although the Aussies do it successfully in their race cars. Might be worth checking out?
