I'm guessing it's possible but the fact that they're so low....e.g. the centre of gravity is so low, it would be very very difficult!! What do you mean that "it feels like it wants to flip over"????
What wheels/suspension and speeds are you taking when cornering????

I've got standard suspension, and I think 10" alloys.
And I mean it seems to learn a bit.
Thanks

My Mini can take corners at unbelievable speeds, quicker than any other car I see. But she does have some rather wide wheels and my suspension is pretty good.
Also, the indent in the roof is because it is so flimsy, it isn't braced by anything some if it rolled onto the roof, it would pretty much cave in.

wasn't your fault... You were behind the wheel, you had all control, you went too fast, you crashed..

I think it is quite obvious, that a roll-bar can improve your chances here!
