Seems Chris (Aeroscreens) and his partner are both OK!

That car looked so good. Hope their bear is ok as well. ;)

Another well known 7 bites the dust

Yes. it was a lovely car. The main thing is that both Chris and his missus are ok barring a few scratches and bruises.

There is a photo on the 7 club site with the Subaru parked on top after it had been moved back from the roll bar. Must be the most lucky escape I have ever seen. Terrifying.

Having said that it is the third big accident I have noted since owning my 7. First one me - walked away unharmed car trashed, second one Baz - walked away injured but recovered well car trashed, and now this one where both fortunately unharmed. Common thread is that for such small vehicles they see remarkably good at protecting their occupants.

Toby, you are missing this one...

Hope all of those will be back on the road again!
Always wondering if it would be wise to install a full roll cage on my car.
Like the idea of extra safety, but not the idea of hitting the cage with my head when not wearing a helmet.

Full roll cage tested and not even close to hitting the cage with my head.
There is an element of luck in a big accident, you can tick as many boxes as i did, because i knew the next one would be big!
Tilletts, 3" Harnesses and a Roll Cage did the business.

It really is something to think over very seriously. Being small and driving an SV means, landing on the wrong side I'll be dead for sure. The roll bar certainly won't help me sitting so far forward in the car.
