Now if you have to paint flames on your car, (and you don’t) it should indicate that your vehicle travels so fast that it bursts into flame. Not that it has caught fire in the driveway and that you might have to run out in your dressing gown and spray it with the garden hose. Appalling. A laughing stock of a car. Should be parked next to the toilet in Success. I had to block traffic to get this for you.

This happens all too often when you brake hard in a stock production “Aussie”(actually American) car.
Ask anyone who’s ever had their trailer brakes fail on a long downhill slope.

I was standing there, waiting for the lights to change on the corner of Wellington and Barrack Streets one afternoon, when a car suddenly stopped in the middle of Wellington St. The driver jumped out and flipped open the bonnet to reveal an entire engine bay in flames. He then ran inside some office block, and within 30 seconds came running back out with another guy who was dressed in overalls and weilding a huge fire extinguisher with which he proceeded to douse the engine, as if he’d been waiting in there all his life for this very moment.
We rubberneckers were mightily disappointed, yet curiously impressed.

In one year, 1978, I think, I used up 3 extinguishers on other peoples cars which had engine bay fires.
Not one of the miserable buggers offered to reimburse me the cost of the units let alone offering a slab for my efforts.
Perhaps I foiled their insurance claim scams.

It’s traditional to stiff the guy with the extinguisher for the refill cost. I figure they only want to impress people by taming our old enemy fire, so they get that as payment. Having an extinguisher is a cry for help. Like having a ute, which means, i have no mates, so why don’t I cart your shit around for free, and you will give me attention for doing so.
LikeLike
Having a fire extinguisher was, in those days of unreliable mechanics and motor manufacturing was almost a necessity: As the service car to an amateur rally team, absolutely vital.
And no, it wasn’t the sport enthusiasts who got into bother, but the spectators who hung about hoping for blood. Christ knows how many of them I dragged out of ditches and ploughed paddocks.

Come to think of it, a Ford with flames is a frightening thing for an American. Google “Ford Pinto” and “exploding gas tank” to find out why.
