My car just went up in flames

Bugger me, that was a bit of an evening - went out for an early evening drive up some local country roads, engine started cutting out, so I pull over, next thing I know there's flamers coming out of the bonnet vents. Got out very quickly (seen too many movies with cars exploding), got to a safe distance and called 999. No extinuighser on board - what a numpty....

By the time the fire brigade got there the whole car is burning

So that's the end of the Stylus .... I need a stiff drink and a lie down .......

Thats terrible... its something that worries me whenever I drive my car!


But at the end of the day, its a piece of metal/plastic.... it can be replaced.... you cant!!!


Im not sure the "standard" car extinguinsher would have much hope of putting out a well set in fire in the engine bay.. opening the lid would possibly cause you more harm than good!
