Helicopter ejector seat?
Motorcycle ashtray?
And my personal favourite the motorcycle-sidecar combination, cunningly combining the lack of speed and manoeuvrability
of a three wheeled car with the exposure to the weather and increased chance of life loss in an accident of the motorcycle. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

The general plan with a heli is to not need to evict yourself from it until it has landed, that said heli ejector seats do exist, some Russian military helis for example do side eject or blow the rotors then eject upwards into the now clean air that wont turn you into salami. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...

Loads of cars are like that, lots of mid engined stuff, Smart, Mid Engined vans and people carriers (Toyota Space Cruiser for example) and my very own 911. It does have a 'bonnet' as such, but you can't see anything on the engine except for the very end of the heads and all the fluid filling points. It does, however, have a manual handbrake, manual gearbox and no speed limiter, stop start, lane keep assist or anything like that. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

I'm not sure what you've read, but you just pop the grill, twist two knobs, and the bonnet lifts off. No dealer, or even tools, required. |
Well, the motoroing press for a starters, but yes, according to Wikipedia, it is able to be opened at home (my bad), but that is certanly not how it was reported at the time of its release
Quote: | The bonnet was widely rumoured to be sealed – Car and Driver wrote: "...feature of the A2 that may foretell the future: the sealed hood". Actually, the bonnet is easily removed, being held in place by two twist-lock catches. The bonnet, weighing 8 kg, then comes away from the car altogether, unlike the usual hinged flip-up arrangement on most other cars. Due to the service hatch, the bonnet does not need to be removed frequently for access to the engine. |
