For those of you commenting on getting your SAOC Horns a week or so back,
I'd just like you to know that I got mine yesterday! So it looks like my
end of the world is even more remote.
There was a nasty article about a guy rolling his Alpine and his son using
his adrenaline strength to lift up the car to free his dad whose head was
pinned under the car between the ground and his seat! Yikes! He said the
only reason his head was not crushed was because he was not wearing a seat
belt, so he had slid forward. He did acknowledge however that it was a
slow speed accident and had they been going faster, without the seat belts,
he probably would have been thrown from the car and killed.
This got me thinking of the roll bars I've ordered. I drew up a design of
what I wanted - those little round hoops behind each seat (like the
Boxster, BMW Z3, Mercedes), with a down tube going back from the top of the
hoop. I sent it to Dale A. to see how much it would cost and what he would
do with that back down tube. We have traded messages and still have not
talked. I'll let you know his thoughts.
