vented bonnet on at last

[clive f]

finally got the aluminium vented bonnet put on the car today, some of you may remember that I got on ebay last January.

they look great clive i was thinking along the same lines myself they are on the same lines as the old E type Jag very nice indeed and they suit the griff as well , can you tell as where you got them from on E,bay i was looking at some at CAR BUILDERS SOLUTIONS but yours are better

[clive f]

I didn`t get the vents, its a whole bonnet formed from aluminium sheet.

I'm thinking that if you happened to walking past with a large block of cheddar, thinking - 'Damn, I wish I had some way of grating this' - that'd be just the trick!

Looks good buddy

[Yellabelly]

Clive, they really suit the Griff. Is the bonnet a full replica of the fibreglass version?

Looks nice Clive

Nice looking Clive.

Where did it come from originally? Was it a one-off prototype or were they in production?

Probably to soon to tell, but does the aluminum reduce under bonnet temperatures?

[Barreti]

Looks smart Clive. That must have been a labour of love for whoever built it.

It will be interesting to hear what you think it does to the under bonnet temps and if it affects the car handling having lost the low pressure area at the front.

It will give any local cats a hell of a shock if they are in the habit of walking up the front to get on the roof when you've parked it

I tell you what festa i regret persuading him to bid for that now instead of getting someone to bid on my behalf... D'oh Bloody management meetings still it does look good on Ugly Boy's motor i must say

Edit to add it is a One off and cost a Bloody Fortune to make

I thought that would be the answer

Clive is probably the best equipped of us to make it. Yet he resorted to buying it.

Not much hope of anyone else getting one then.

If i recall it cost stupid money Clive spoke to the bloke that had it made at his mansion Apparently he had a bit of a car collection also

It must be nice to have Millions

That's Fat, Bald, Uncle if you please.

When he's finished putting me in the picture shall I ask him to return your wide-angle lens?

Sod you Ugly !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uncle Fester]

Right.

Firstly, the short fuse insinuation. IIRC it wasn’t, but it has been a while since I saw it.

Secondly, why do you keep calling me Festa? Is it ‘cos I is black you is being racist?

Thirdly, as you probably well know, I won’t be at the Growl. The Griff has been reduced to a pile of bits and won’t be ready in time. A cylinder liner slipped. Still, we (well V8D) can rebuild it, better, faster, stronger... You know what it’s like. “While we have it apart, we could...” I fall for it every time. I know you know the feeling.

Thirdly, suggestion of Pasco and I getting anything on is not just ridiculous, it’s physically impossible.

Fourthly, Clive, stop trying to intimidate Pasco. You know I haven’t worked on club doors in years. I’m old and grey, just like my old friend and teacher of many years, Vernon
