| Here is an advert for getting a fire extinguisher in your car... And to act quickly with it rather than film your car burning.

| Yeah seen this one before, ouch.
I think that was an electrical fire, it was inside the dash, should have disconeted the batery straight away. Electrical fires are major problem if they get hold.

| I had one in the Beetle but I pulled the main fuse in the fuse box and luckily that got it before the smoke turned to flames.

| heheheheGood one Ryan! hehehe The problem is being an electrical fire it will not go out no matter how much water/pee you put on it. Judging by his fire extinguisher it was clearley for oil/fuel fires. What he should have had was a C02 (carbon dioxide) not a powder type one. That is the only way you will put it out. First thing he should have done was disconect the battery. Pitty that wasa nice car! hehehehe

| WAS a nice car.
So the moral is, get out, shut doors and bonnet, use the correct fire extinguisher and disconnect the battery but don't risk your life.
