That is a p1sser !  :cry: I guess fire extinguisher sales across the forum will be going up now that's for sure. A couple of things I dont get on that video though, firstly they seemed to have a fire extinguisher and didn't use it or it was empty, which would be pointless anyway and why did they leave the doors and bonnet open ? Surely if they had closed them and not let as much Oxygen to the flames then although it would never have stopped at least it could have hindered the fires development until the fire service arrived, or am I just being picky.  :undecided:

Sorry but i have no sympathy for them at all.

1) The down pipe has caught fire. Humm obvious answer, open the bonnet fire up the camera and stand there recording it for a while.

2) ooo we have an extinguisher, lets spray the dash board with it because that will put the flames out on the downpipe.

3) humm its a fire, lets open as many doors as possible to give it a nice clean blast of fresh air, that will put it out.

4) ooo look the bonnet is still open, ah well we will leave it, perhaps a gust of air will put it all out.

err how f**king stupid do you have to be?? Yeah not a bad mk4 but at the end of it they were stupid for f**king around with a video camera and letting the fire take a real hold.

Nice one chaps.

I've carried a halfords fire extiguisher for the last 2 years. thinking of buying a 'forecourt' sized one just in case lol.

in a WRC car if there's a fire they hit a button on the dash and the engine bay gets covered in powder and they carry on driving if possible.

you know me mate, tell it how it is. Too many people think that they deserve sympathy when they have acted like complete twots.

The above is one such instance.  :smiley:
