Not needed on the Irish roads unless your doing the bloody ejit, or have the car on a track.

Hows it going lads, long time no hear.

I dunno fergus, fair enough the natural tendancy of the 5 is to slide as opposed to flip, but going sideways into a kerb could flip the car.

Also, if you slide into a ditch / grass bit off the road then the wheels can dig and the car can flip over on its own momentum.

Have been thinking of getting a roll cage alright, but probably wont bother...
Burn him!! Burn him!!!

No harm, this happened to a woman in the UK a couple of years ago, AFAIR they were on a run and she clipped a large stone on the side of the road. Shes was OK BTW.
