Constructive and not derogatory. At least you bother and put the time in.

As Phil described in his initial discussion, its an external cage. Therefore can't go down to the floor as it would end up going through exhausts etc. I like the design and as Phil has pointed out, its meant to be an improvement over the roll over hoop. Having driven my completed Haynes for a year now, I can fully appreciate how exposed your face is to road debris and thats why I'm after the cage.... not for rolling the car, but from collision protection.
To me the front of the frame looks very similar to a Caterham R400 cage
