You WILL NOT believe what happened to me last night at Tesco Petrol Station in Clowne, I hope it makes the news!!
After cruising around last night, about 8:30, with a couple of mates I decided I needed some petrol, as yer' do. The car had been through some hammer, high revs, 'pedal ter the metal' for a while. As I pulled up in the garage, I got ma car a put the petrol nozzel in ma' car, as I was waiting for the guy at the till to turn my pump on I saw steam, or what I thought was steam, I was thinking "it's probly the radiator, or a water pipe burst or come loose. I had a look under the front of the car, It was on fire!! in a petrol station. I saw somthing drop from the engine, it looked like somthing very important, like part of my gear box, or clutch, so without thinking, I picked the flame covered plastic up and threw it as far as i could away from the petrol station, it hit a fence, bounced back and went out. Luckily for my, it was my air-horn and everything seemed OK after that, the car still runs, I've come to work in it.
My air-horn had worked its way loose from the mountings on side of the engine, the compressor for the horn in above (about 50-60cm) the exaust, so the horns fell off and the pipe hung on, the horns must've been resting on the exsaust for a while, to have cought fire, its melted all the plastics on the fuse box, and I have no horn!
I just think I am very lucky not to have killed everybody in Tesco, Co-Op, The chippy and everyone else who was nearby.
Later today I will go round to the petrol station and ask for a copy of the security video, you need to see it to believe it and i'm still thinking "what if..., what if it set the fuse box on fire, what if it set a fuel pipe on fire".
I'm still in shock!!!
So, anybody got a fuse box for sale?

Doubt that the worst thing to happen 'ever'......Id imagine having your penis nailed to a burning building and given a hacksaw as your only option of escape to be alot worse Probably your own fault anyway through crappy placement of the airhorn's
