[Target Practice]

Hahaha...well, as an El Camino owner myself, I can say that we really aren't the smartest bunch.

[TMAXXKING1]

yeah

At least he now has an excuse to rid the roof of that cancer!

10/4 on that one it isnt too bad under there .. beleive it or not ...

yowza... lucky he didnt crush the roof and sheer the hood off too. So let this be a lesson to all you aftermarket glass hood users out there. USE PINS!!! No, the stock latch isnt good enough.

wow ive never heard anyone never putting in the hood pins but to each hes own the main thing is that hes doing it himself

one can only hope he was on a speedway and not on a highway to make a hood peel back like that.

It wouldn't make any difference what type of road he was on. I had the same thing happen to me on a country lane I was doing approx 40mph the latch let go and the bonnet bent over the windscreen, fortunately it didn't crack the screen so I just had to get a new bonnet.

I had the same thing happen to me on a country lane I was doing approx 40mph (least he didn't use kilometers) the latch let go and the bonnet hood bent over the windscreen windshield, fortunately it didn't crack the screen windshield so I just had to get a new bonnet hood.

Translated into American - we invented the mass produced automobile, you could use our terms

Did you then remove the bent bonnet and put it in the boot to take back to the shop?

[purple]

did you have to load it onto a lorry to get it back to your flat?

no as it was on a van, so I could have put in the back by opening the doors but all I actually did was use a rope and tied it down around the bumper.....fender if you like.

Purple ...what?
