What could possibly excite more raw emotion than eyebrow hair? Yep, it's how to avoid making sparks on garage forecourts with your mobile phone.
'Somehow, I doubt that using a mobile phone will cause a problem,' says the rather hard-wired Nick Lines. He recently attended a racetrack where a Ford Cosworth pulled into the Donnington [sic] Park Fuel station and blew four feet of flame from the exhaust.
Nothing exploded, but if your mobile creates similar sized flames, we recommend you don't use it near the pumps. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
