I like what he's done to his tail lights... they've got that "smoked" look.

So it just gives CAMS a nice warm fuzzy feeling then? Be even warmer when you're on fire ..

Maybe we can set you on fire John and see if i can put you out with a 1kg??

A 1kg extinguisher is only really any good on very small fires where more fuel is not being added....so its effective if your pod filter catches fire but not really any good if there is fuel or oil leaking on to something hot because powder extinguishers don't remove heat.

They really should be viewed as a tool to smash a window and knock the flames down long enough to give you a few extra seconds to get out.

They are also handy to deal with road rage and to beat recalcitrant children with.

I would of thought with a smallish fire extinguisher it would be more so for personal protection rather then the whole car. They are not very big at all.

Ohh just realised, pretty much what deviant said, bash those juvenile delinquents!

It will delay a fire, but if oil or fuel is burning a pissy 1kg fire extinguisher does 2 bits of fuck all.

Trust me, I know this first hand...
