In a roll over I'd be just as concerned about the wind screen folding backwards and getting decapitated.

That does it - although I just finished it, I'm never driving it again beyond the driveway. It will just become a full size scale model for garage display purposes only.  |

I've already had discussions with our interior decorator about incorporating the Kirkham into my living room decor. |

Hey Dan, I'm with you! Maybe we should all just stay in bed with the covers pulled up over our heads

I don't know, this inagural first drive around the cul-de-sac may be all there will be - first right and then left. This may be it for me. Too great a risk of whiplash from the rear, decapitation from the windhield/visors in a frontal, or grinding my gray matter into the asphalt from a roll over if hit from the side. Oh my! Maybe the laughter from my wife in the video background is probably from her contemplation of my insurance policy payout.
