--- Quote from: "Disco Matt" ---I once read a column in one of the magazines written by someone who had scrutineered competition vehicles. His worst horror story was the person who turned up with a rollcage made from plastic tube and glued together with silicone sealant. What was even more astonishing was that the builder of said rollcage didn't see anything wrong with it!

There's also a story of one of the AWDC scrutineers (Mario Alliperti??) testing cages he was suspicious by whacking them near a joint/mounting with a 14IB sledgehammer!

Well, if it doesn't pass that it wouldn't stand up to two tons of Landy falling on it!

I know Goat's posting is a different scenario, but the end result could have been the same??

If not worse - a Golf is a fair bit lighter than most 4x4s

If an Aliperti has reason to be suspicious you better pay very good attention to what either of them has to say. The slogan been there, done it, got the t-shirt was written for people like them.
