[TR] Roadster Shipping and wind

[Brian.L.Jones at gsk.com]

Ahh, another item for the million and one things to use Duct Tape for....

Apply cling film to outside of doors to protect paint, run duct tape in 
two or three loops around the car (up a door, across to the other side, 
down the other door, and back across under the car. Likewise use duct tape 
to wrap around the boot handle and attach to fender. Could do the bonnet 
too, just in case...

Interesting. 

My biggest worry about using an open carrier is the fact that the doors 
on the roadster are suicide doors.  I'm afraid of a big bump or 
something knocking the doors open and the wind then trying to tear them 
off. 

I know what winds can do.  I was hauling a Herald for Andy Mace and had 
the boot lid try to tear itself off because of a horrific cross wind on 
I-90 west of Cleveland (sorry Andy!).  Ever since then I've been leary 
of what damage the winds can do to our cars.
