Lenny Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Bonnet struts are a good mod, Would grip bonnet preventing it ever happening again, Those bonnet hinges cut through the wings like a knife through butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What caused it? Good to hear you are all safe that is absolutely terrifying. I would have screamed like a 5 year old little girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 After viewing a few episodes of "Air Crash Investigations " on Discovery Channel this morning, yeah mate i agree with you 100% I'm also a fan of those program's too. I have never heard of a bonnet flying up on any year of Focus I have to admit. I did see it happen to someone on a dual carriage way once.. Scary enough just to see it happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Would have been epic tarantino stuff, Had a motorcycle been behind you, Bonnet ripped off rotating in the air coliding with the head of the motorcyclest Although you would need a front and rear dash cam for that, Can you imagine how many Youtube hits that would get? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in the event that such catastrophe does ever happen Lenny, I hope it's not me on the motorbike I think it's more likely to end up on another website, not YouTube lol.
