Thumbs down my poor baby!!

what a morning i had... on the 414 coming to work, just come off of boost and loads of smoke behind me, so i pull in to bus stop, steam and smoke pouring from under bonnet... so i popped her open and found top hose has split, but more to my suprise, my heat wrap on headers caught fire!!! so i went to get the bottle of water out of my car, but was empty as i just filled up my intercooler spray bottle!!! so i was about to pull undo my belt to **** on the fire, but luckily some helpful guy in his van pulled up and he had a fire extinguisher and put it out for me.... will be getting on ramp later to check everything is ok.. new hose coming tuesday...
