   After looking at the pictures very closely, it looks as if the car did have
a roll bar but a very low one.  Also it appears the car was a TR6 not a
Spitfire,  ever see a spitty with dual exhausts?  Regardless of the car or
rollbar this man died a terrible death!

OMG, that is a horrible story Bob, and often I think about getting
Pinky a
roll bar for that very same reason. I pray that poor man only
suffered seconds
not minutes.

Does anyone know who he was?

Is anyone else sporting a roll bar
on their Spridgets?
Prayers for his family,
Lin
