Yeah pics or it did not happen.

I have had my bonnet pop up a couple of times but not flown up.. lucky i guess :/

It shouldn't have come up. Did you remove the safety catch or something?

Nah it failed its snapped off some how when
The bonnet come
Up.

Was such a mister bean moment lol

Picture a bright yellow mini bonnet up
Me hanging out the window steering to see
Where I'm going lol.

Hmm, I think I'll replace that safety catch pin with a nice new high tensile job.

SO are you going round telling people you have the fastest thing on four wheels that can't see where its going?

Hey NG, were you driving on Logan rd on the southside on Saturday? I saw a bright yellow mini

But bad luck on the bonnet

Yeh I just bought one

horrible isan't it nick.. my mini had the same thing happen,, bonnet had to be removed to get pulled down,, the hinges did the same thing,,, ripped through the top gutter there.. it was a long way from hitting the windscreen through brenton,, the angle has to go back much further through the gutter to do so..

Mine is still sitting there awaiting cash for repairs,, now rusting but with a student budget, nothing i can do until then,,

Let me know how much it ends up costing you mate, I'd be interested.

check ur pm's, sent you one, to see you tomorrow about that other stuff..
