Coming back from Le Mans I was quite surprised to see my boot lid in the rear view mirror whilst on the Autoroute! (Up not flying away) Anyone ever had this before? It was just after a P stop so I may have hit the release button and not closed it properly(DOH!) but not sure... (BTW. coming back down through 100 it was funny to see how quickly it dropped,tells a bit about the aerodynamics..) TIA

I've heard that the Griff generates 150lb of lift at 150mph at the rear

Not surprising considering its shaped like an aerofoil - why dont you fit a SEAC rear wing - after all they were developed in the Wind Tunnel to produce downforce. Could start a fashion to rival the Tuscan's new spoiler. Russ (Tongue firmly in cheek!)

150lb lift would explain a lot...
