Don't get me wrong, safety is good, especially for those who have kids. LR's work needs to be respected. The structural integrity of Mark's D4 saved his life. I used to tool around, on tracks like that, in a G60 Patrol ragtop. Everywhere at full throttle because that is the only way the car would get up. A crash like Mark had was easily on the cards, but the difference is, I wouldn't have survived it, unless I was thrown.
I'm pretty sure it's the D4 that's MONO/LADDER not the D2??
