storm force winds here the bonnet catch gave out as the bonnet was chattering in the wind and has flipped in the 70+mph gusts and did the motorway wrap over the windscreen, screen survived. with the open bonnet as a sail the handbrake was overwhelmed and car rolled across the road, lucky for me it missed all the neighbours cars. oh well new bonnet time orange car has nearly 120kg of bagged sand in it as it was lurching alarmingly in the strong gusts

not usually the concrete is perfectly flat (for setting up suspension etc) had been fiddling with it and the bungee across the bonnet was being employed elswhere, the wind (gusting to over 100mph) was just too much for the crispy plate under the bonnet and it let go. picture of its former glory days.
