I would have thought with all the airbags you wouldn't have needed this. Anyone got any more news on it?If it ain't got 4 wheels, Don't Bother.

Only thing I have noticed is steering wheel is on the wrong side
Why would anyone want an internal cage with all the airbags? Surely this must interfere with the airbags.If it ain't got 4 wheels, Don't Bother.

Nice, wondered how long it would be.
you're right about the airbags assisting the first part of a crash, but if it's a prolonged (rollover or forest) crash, then a roll cage can only help your survival chances.
I can see them being fitted soon to the older models as the EP90 brigade start to seriously modify them and get up to silly antics Bodsys Brake Bible

The company selling them make fantastic cages so it would be great for someone who buys a cheap Disco3 to offroad and roll all the time. I have often drawn roll cages on Disco3's and RRS before (when I was bored) and some of them look smart.If it ain't got 4 wheels, Don't Bother.

A lot of the development vehicles (particularly for high speed/DSC work) have cages fitted.

No, I mean product development/engineering - i.e. prototypes.

Dan Evans at PPC does very good work. It always is a nice finish and fit.
I wonder when someone will run a D3 in Production Class for the British Cross Counrty Championship?Renny Thomson
