Hi trevor Good to be back Sounds like ur racing has been going well.. I haven't driven my car since april - talk about hanging out for it.. I'm getting all the body work de rusted and just generally tidied up.. should be ready soon i hope Its a shame this roll cage is useless I would have thought a logbook supplied with the cage could be transferred to another shell? Anyway it would be a great safety factor for a road car. I may fit it into the next 1600 i am getting (for the missus) cheers Mick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pooley, Trevor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 5:53 AM Subject: RE: rollcages
