Whoops, hope you get it sorted mate, similar thing happened to somebody i know, FG bonnet though held by pins, and flew up and off on a motorway at 90mph thereabouts. Had to stop and go back for it, luckily it wasnt too damaged! On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I can sypathize. Been there done that, not going there again! On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Happened to me in about 1992 in my first Mini, a boggo 998.. I was racing a reliant Robin on the M5 so as I DNF'd I guess the robin won!

I noticed on Sunday that when I got home in the mk1 the only thing holding my bonnet shut was the hook thingy. It was defieintely shut when I left but the catch had not fully returned to the locked position. Will not make that mistake again! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
