oh that's painful... Imagine that happening and you can't do anything to stop it. That's terrible.

My interweb is really slow - is that the video with "Say it Ain't So" in the background? If it is, you gotta feel for the guy, even though the car is a rice bucket.

The seat slides right over the top of it. Out of the way, but always handy ;)

I've got a fire extinguisher from autobahn. I may never need it, but after my dad set his daimler on fire and the amount of engine fires another member on this forum has had that shall remain nameless, I figured it would be a damn good idea

I'd be outta there if I was him...what happens if the thing explodes or something. He seems very casual about it.

My first impression was insurance job.
Why not get the extinguisher on the fire in the engine bay ASAP instead of standing there and filming it, letting it get worse |
