Ulix,
Can you post a drawing or picture of how you sit in your MG, because
I'm having trouble understanding how the driver could move as you
describe.
I've had an accident in a BGT on a race track that involved stopping
from 60 mph straight backwards into a tyrewall. I'm 6ft tall, so
there's not much room between my helmet and the roof but I didn't
leave a dent in the roof.
Regards,
Dave
