My car just went up in flames
Bugger me, that was a bit of an evening - went out for an early evening drive up some local country roads, engine started cutting out, so I pull over,
next thing I know there's flamers coming out of the bonnet vents. Got out very quickly (seen too many movies with cars exploding), got to a safe
distance and called 999. No extinuighser on board - what a numpty....
By the time the fire brigade got there the whole car is burning 
So that's the end of the Stylus .... I need a stiff drink and a lie down .......
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Thats terrible... its something that worries me whenever I drive my car!
But at the end of the day, its a piece of metal/plastic.... it can be replaced.... you cant!!!
Im not sure the "standard" car extinguinsher would have much hope of putting out a well set in fire in the engine bay.. opening the lid
would possibly cause you more harm than good!
