thats why you should always have a fire extinguisher in thier motor, you can pick up a decent RAC recognised one from places like wal-mart asda for like 12 quid or online from r-tec or somewhere, well worth it if thats the other choice! he could of saved the rest of his car!

nice to see he kept the bonnet and doors open to fan the flames

yea thats a very good poin, but where do you keep it? I keep mine in a holdall in the boot but thinking about it surely im defeating the object!..... :laugh:

yea mines in the boot but just seems like theres nowhere else to put it, yea post a pic please mate
-
mine was in the passenger footwell, it fitted there quite well and didnt get in the way, as i thought if anything ever did happen i'd need it in the actual cockpit. If its in the boot then you may not be able to get to it...

I was on a fire fighting course a few months back and the instuctor told us the last thing you wanted to do was attempt to fight a car fire, because of the various plastics and fluids present under the bonnet the cocktail of gasses released was extremely toxic. Not to mention the risk of explosion.
I have to say that I think if the worst happened I would just put as much distance between me and the car as possible and collect on the insurance. I watched an episode of the garage where they were repairing a fire damaged beemer - even though it was a minor fire it meant a new ecu, loom, inlet manifold and a heap of other parts. I don't think I would be happy to get back behind the wheel of a car that had decided spontaneous combustion was the way forward - just wouldn't trust it after that!
-
lol, thats true, soon as a car decides to kill itself, you dont wanna be getting back in!!! good point lol.
-
But surely if it was just the start of the fire i.e smoke it could be stopped before it all went up...like in that video. I agree though once the fire takes hold run like the wind!

you can see the guy with a fire extinguisher.
I think that was a setup :nerd:

fk that! Like the guy in the vid i'd be getting plenty of air onto that fire to get it well going! :lipsrsealed:

I'd buy a huge bag of marshmallows and let the fker burn! hmmm toasted mallows :drool:
-
Everytime I watch that vid it just looks more and more dodgy, *accidental fire* hmmmmmm.
I always keep a fire extiguisher in the boot, mounted on the left, only a little one - more to put me out if I was on fire. I doubt it could stop a car fire with it (but heres hoping).
