Default Drive my Pat 12 on the hooks

Hi Guys

Drive my Pat 12 that way if the air temp is above 70F. I use short bungee cords to make sure the hooks don't bounce out, yes I've had them bounce up but not out. I also drive with my seat belt on, because if the hook does come out your instinct is to grab for the door.

There is one problem though if your hood or nose side panels are missing the little rubber strips, all that love hot air being blown out the engine compartment is scooped up by the doors. This most noticeable at low speed high RPMs.

I'll be driving my Pat 12 over to our summer rally tomorrow, for cast 85-90 F high humidity, so even with the cab top off, will be driving with doors on the hooks an windshield open.

Cheers Phil
