i had one of the most scary experiences ever earlier driving my crx from mates lock up to the bodyshop 4 a respray driving along at about 45 50 mph and the bonnet catch gave way resulting in bonnet flying up into the windscreen now needing a new bonnet as well as the other bits and the windscreen has so many cracks in now that i lost count :(

Bad luck, mate, and scary, yes, I should imagine. Reference the windscreen, phone Mobile Windscreens, ask to speak to the manager Trevor, on 01202393228, tell him you belong to the same car club as Jeff from Glas Weld, and ask him what the best he can do to help you is. If you have fully comp., and not with Tesco or Direct Line, he'll probably be able to lose some or maybe even all your excess. If you are only 3rd Party, he'll do the very best price for you he possibly can. :thumbsup: He's a darn good bloke!
[GK-customfield]Jeff![customfield-GK]The Prelude, in many ways, is a typical Japanese car but I would always put it in a list of all-time fave raves because its  V-Tec engine is just so amazingly sweet.
I've said before that this is the best mass produced engine of all time, and I'll say it again now.

I was following him when this happened.....the Famous last words of NeilO when he picked the car up, 'the bonnet catch isn't quite on properly....i could fix it now.....but it'll hold....' just not for long!
