Probably a bit of a deathtrap but lots of fun though
I think the best advice is not to crash!

If it matters - buy a Volvo.................

Yep, a Jeep is definitely safer - cos the damn thing is still of the road getting axle number 2 fitted......so no chance of a crash there.
However, not the fault of the Jeep, just the amateurs at the garage who managed to bust it!
So, back to having a Volvo..........

that is well scary.
God knows how he crashed that, some bugger has pinched the engine and gearbox!!
Well ASCAS did a roll-over test for us
I would imagine that it's about the same a a Punto. Perhaps Alan, being familiar with more of the Fiat range, would have an idea?
All I know is that it was never N capped. I doubt it's the same as the punto as the roof adds to the structural integrity, but the A pillers will be much stonger than roofed cars to survive a roll.
All the Ncap and other tests are carried out at 30-40mph so don't make much odds as most of you lot drive much faster than that esp KC

Mine's survived admirably being hit by a BMW X3 and me hitting a fence at 90 km/h
Hey ROBOT, you are still with us then!!!
When is your b due to be finished, can't wait to see the pictures (and then rib the crap out of you for having it re-sprayed dishwater instead of a decent colour like RED!!)....

Yup - still here, but the weather's been 25-30°C the last weeks so I've been out driving topless with the top off yum rather than sitting in front of the computer.
Don't know when my B's finished; just delievered it to the painters last Sunday, so if I'm lucky it could be done in a few days time :woot:

Excellent, UK has not seen any decent sun for a couple of weeks now! We had a couple of sunny days in May so I have a feeling that summer is over for us now!
