Surely one of his gauges would have told him there was something wrong!

Why use the fire extinguisher on the interior instead of on the fire down by the zorst manifold?

**** me That went up fast.
I must say I thought along the same lines as SJ, if he'd got his finger out and sprayed the turbo with the extinguisher when the fire first started, it may have been recoverable. Although looking at the size of the comedy extinguisher it probably would have made **** all difference.

If my mate had stood around videoing it instead of helping put it out I'd have chucked him back in the fecking car.

Can't fault the Fire Brigade's response either

I've said it to myself loads of times that I should have an extinguisher but I'm slack and I never got round to getting one. That vid has spurred me on! Tomorrow! Probably...

seen this before on another forum i think, think something to do with oil spilling over the manifold or something causing it to fire up, shame really, shouldn't they of reacted a tiny bit quicker than they did rather than film it and recover parts when they could've just easily saved the whole car? oh well, bit of t-cut and it'll be fine

Dodgy wiring from his 'guages' . I'm sorry but I pissed myself laughing when I saw this. The music sets it off perfectly.

No point having an extinguisher unless you know how to use it.
