"What the...!"
"Oh, it isn't is it?"
"Oh, b*gg*r, it is!"
Fortunately no-one ran over it, or crashed because of it, but it could have been so different.
Took the indy out today having a great drive and really enjoying the BEC feeling you know the one i mean when you carnt stop smileing from the moment you turn the key anyway life couldnt of got much better, till my bonnet nearly lifted of that is. Talk about crap me pants lol. I manged to pull over quick sharp tho before it blew off completely. Has anybody else had this happen to them before?
Did you check the bonnet pins/locking things before you left? There are a few stories on here of people who've had bonnets go over their heads. Mine does lift/wobble a bit, but not so it'll fall off.

Happened to me a few months back... in 1 second I went through a sequence of
"What the...!"
"Oh, it isn't is it?"
"Oh, b*gg*r, it is!"

Happened to me too, and i'm convinced some idiots undid it when i left it in the carpark, as it was fine all the way there, luckily it
didn't come off, but you should have seen the mess i left in the seat 
It was fine for a good hour then filled her up at the garage. Noticed a car full of clowns pullin. I lost sight of them while paying. I had thought that maybe somebody could of tampered with it for it to just happen like that. It could of been nasty. I would like to think that wasnt the case but who knows.
I drove for five miles with my catches undone, it was fine while i was doing 60, went to overtake someone and the bonnet started to lift, quick
reactions and pleased my windscreen was'nt fitted so i could hold it down until i stopped. Very lucky.
It happened to me too - the first time I took anyone out in it to show it off. I don't know what was worse the fact it happened or the fact I had
to run 200 yards down the road with a helmet on before it was run over!
Also had a boot panel fly off on the motorway when towing it. When we left it was there and when we arrived it had dissapeared!
Often happens when the clips haven't been put in the right place, using the template.
Ours has never, ever flown off or come loose even when racing and we do not use any other form of holding.
