MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Today was my lucky day, my very very very lucky day. I was at the builders merchants loading my Anglia up with crap and when I went to start it up to leave a Weber spat back and caught fire. In no time at all I had a pretty serious fire under the bonnet, which I couldn't get open fast enough because of dzus fasteners, a fuel line then burned through, fire-balled, and it went right up.

LUCKILY a bloke in a truck pulled up and he had a fire extinguisher in the cab and apart from some singed paint and a bit of powder skank the car is ok. I managed to patch the fuel line and bodge the melted throttle cable and get it home by itself.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

They are about £12 delivered from eBay so that means there are no excuses, go and buy one now. I NEARLY lost the car I had spent 5 years building, I DO NOT want it to happen to you!!!

Picture of what was nearly destroyed:
