The Astra G fronted Omegas never grew on me ...... I always liked the curved swage line across the bonnet of the preface lift cars  ;)

                  Indeed, and just to add, I believe people who voted to leave are naturally more intelligent than the other dull sort👍

So ..... back on topic .... the bonnet pull on a brand new leccy Kia Nero isn't obstructed by a closed door  :)

Thats a loop hole actually (which we do know about), as it won't have a bonnet in the traditional sense, just a Frunk  :y

 :y :y

Clearly there is now a gap in the market

 I was thinking of plugging it given the ticket prices people will pay, got a proposal for a new sub if anyone fancies joining:



Looks a better bet that the Titan did  ;) ;)

My story is about rental cars in the USA. Pitched up at a petrol (well gas) station somewhere in Hicksvill Texas running on fumes. Spent 10 minutes trying to find the petrol filler cap. Eventually had to ask the petrol station attendant - it was behind the number plate.

Similar story in Florida ..... I wasn't driving but the lad driving got out, looked on one side of the car, then the other, back to the first side & then stuck his head in the car .... I can't find the filler!  ??? I jumped out & found it behind the 'license plate' almost straight away cos I saw the hinges underneath it. If it was good enough for a MKIII Zephyr/Zodiac ....  ;D

I can trump all of your bonnet catch woes....  ::)

When I was a 'professional driver' in a former life I was allocated a spanking new MAN tractor unit for my day trip.  :y

I jumped in and thought How the hell do I drive this!  :o  There was no gear stick, auto box shift lever, flappy paddles or semi box shifter and after scratching  my head for a while, I had to admit defeat and go and ask the shunter how to drive it.  :-[

Turned out it had a auto box and the shift lever was an indicator type stalk on the steering column.  ::)

They didn't take the piss.... much!  :-X   ;D

I offered to lend my R Class to a good mate of mine. I went to collect him from his house & brought back to mine. I went back inside & he jumped in the car .... I watched him from the house as he looked around the centre console area of the car very confused. I went back outside to ask him what the problem was .... he couldn't find the column shift either  ;D ;D

As for the bonnet opener, I recall some legislation (not my specific field but, I did ask the question when Defender was launched with a plastic protrusion from part of the door card moulding to cover the bonnet release) that it must be restricted access such that you cannot easilt pop the bonnet when moving, so they tend to be on A posts with door trim in the way so they can't be access with the door closed (you can thank many a rusting Jap car for that one!)

Nothing in front of my ML's bonnet release  :-\ It'd be quite a reach from the driver's seat, but accessible all the same
Ah, but your ML is a few years old now?

Neither of ours have anything to stop bonnet release being pulled, other than they fitted them passenger side.  You know, just where her handbag strap gets caught around it  ::)

It is .... 14 plate.
Her C3 is older though but has it hidden by the door on the passenger side
