Pop Top on side of road!!Spotted a pop top (no kombi though  ) on side of Graham Farmer today.... Hope it wasn't anyone on here, infact hope nobody is missing it, could have done some real damage.

Yeah that's the spot... can you imagine if you were behind it when it departed the bus

There are quite a few pop tops around with a tie down strap or two missing.
Windy day like today, going over the bridge at 80km/h, probably wouldn't take much to lift it off.

I once forgot to strap our poptop down (I was chatting while lowering it), and it decided to go up on a highway at top speed... the kombi behind us had a real fright! but managed to alert us before it came completely off... the mechanism is now twisted and will (eventually) need to be replaced. I now always double-check the straps.
It is indeed lucky that this poptop (apparently) didn't cause any harm. I hope it wasn't raining that night.

i used to have a bedford dormobile in the uk and the roof vent hatch blew off at about 60 mph. went with a real bang and it suddenly got very windy! took a moment to work out what had happened!
