    You know how to pop the hood of the Bentley GT?

    I was watching some auto shows on TV and this guy was doing some mod to a Bently GT. I was really amazed to see how the hood was released...

    You push a button from inside of the car, then you push in the hood emblem which will cause it to pop up (only the center round part pops up) and you lift up the hood with it. Must be hydrolic assisted or else it would be too heavy.

    We are talking about the Continental GT, aren't we? That's been out ages, I thought everyone knew that. I've seen quite a few around here.

    And on the subject of hydraulic lifters, even my Mondeo has that. You lift the bonnet past about a 300mm up and the struts do the rest. Caught me off-guard first time!

    I really didn't know that since I have to lift the hood up all the way with my cheap Mazda6

    I wonder how many people have them and still do not know how to open the hood.

    Most of the people who own one employ someone to open the bonnet for them...
