Since when was advocating vehicle safety heartless or pointless, LB? Presumeably you're one of those ballardian 'crash' freaks who get kicks from autogeddon. Warm leatherette, much...?

perhaps there's a time and a place for such advocacy?

I'd imagine john5001 isn't out campaigning for all soft top vehicles to have roll bars retro-fitted to them at every opportunity.

It looks more like a typical 'Argus comment section cheap-shot' from where I'm sat.

And I might imagine a tear of petrol is in your eye, as the handbrake penetrates your thigh. Quick! Let's make love. Before we die. Whither the Normal...?

its not a vintage or veteran sports car and judging by the rostyle wheels its not even old enough to be tax exempt at a historic vehicle (pre mid 1972)
