[ArNoLdNuMbA5]

Hey was just wondering if anyone knows if its legal to drive around with no bonnet in NSW??.... iv seen it done before....but im not too keen on a fine if i get one...

[Owgasm]

I wouldn't dare either.

Why would you do that :S?

Don't take any chances.

oh i hit a kangaroo a few weeks back.....and done all the repairs...and got a full new bodykit on itt....and now its just sitting at my work in the workshop waitin for me to finish some repairs on the bonnet till i can find a good one to buy.... and am gettin a bit eager to drive it again...lol

is the old bonnet in a really bad cond.. cant you drive with it..

[adam-__-]

I would say that it's pretty much the same thing as driving without a front bar on.

You wouldn't be able to drive without a bonnet on a drag strip either would you?

[barnoon]

Your definately not aloud to drive without a bonnet on its 100% illegal, its that way incase you hit a pedestrian they cant fall onto moving/hot engine parts etc.

[Owgasm]

exactly with the front bar, don't wanna chop someones legs off while braking them with the fmic.

[anfo]

yeah definately illegal dude up the road from mine got absolutely butt raped by the cops for it once

[Drift Much?]

i drove without a bonnet to mcdonalds up the road lol... that was about it..

A kangaroo, thats officially the first time i've heard of that. Do thoes things allot of damage when you hit them? I know here if you hit a deer it can come in and kill you and if you hit a moose or bear your dead usally from impact, all of which is a write off except if your lucky hitting the deer. I guy i work with hit a big grey owel and completely f**ked up the front end.

[Owgasm]

LOL.

Must have been serioulys one big owl.

Well, those in the city don't get Kangaroos on the roads alot.

But we have "ROO Bars" for that.
