      Grim. Did you lose the back end and clip the kerb?

      I spun there in the wet when I lost the back end and was waiting for it to roll but luckily it didnt end the way yours did.

        One of the back wheels locked when braking into duffis and kicked the back end out. Didn't catch it quick enough and as a result clipped the tyre wall on the inside then it just dug in and rolled. I'm just glad I had a cage in it.

          Looks like the cage held up really well. Is/was it welded in or just bolted?

            Cage did its job well. it without a doubt, saved me and the marshals said that aswell. That is why I wouldn't be keen on going on track without a cage. The cage was bolted in but was bolted to thick speeder plates that were welded in. I just scrapped the cage with what was left of the shell because I wouldn't be happy outing it into another car.

                  I've ended up being given a ford transit radiator with fans off a friend. He used to have it in his cosworth powdered mk2 escort so should be up to the job. If not I'll swap it for something like yours Charliecosworth.
