Best squirt from a leaking cooling system?

Got to my car after work yesterday to find big trail of water. I keep a bottle of water in the car so topped up radiator & started engine - rad cap off/heater on/etc - lots of bubbles so thought that I had fixed it.

 

Got home after 12 mile drive. Plenty of steam from the bonnet so lifted and there was a fine squirt of water aprrox 3 to 4 ft. Bugg3r I thought, but it was impressive and easy to see the culprit.

 

Anyway I remember an old Vauxhall Carlton that squirted water from its radiator through the grill on to the road.

 

So what has been the best squirt out there? :D

 

p.s. this car is having a few of those niggly problems lately!

On a less NWS note...

 

Try removing the cap of the rad when it's hot...my mate did that...burnt himself badly but I have to say watching a ploom of water fire up over the bonnet was impressive...however as it was my car I was slightly less impressed!
