salvatore Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Pisser - real bad luck. But then again, if they had used the extinguisher (CO2) straight away, instead of f**king around getting some quality shots with the video camera, he may have still had a car at the end of the day. We'll, you live and learn - watch those guages people!! :thumbdown Think i'll just nip to Halfrauds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The two mistakes they made are that they opened the bonnet the whole way. No.1 thing you should do is pop the bonnet just so you can get the extinguisher nozzle in there and then use the extinguisher. - or if you do open the bonnet the whole way, and can't put it out, then SHUT the damn thing. Keeps oxygen flow down. No.2 thing they did wrong is they left the doors open after 'giving up' on the car. They wouldn't know how long it would take for the fire crew to get there, so the idea is to keep all doors and bonnets / boots shut after you get out. This car on fire thing does seem to be catching...
