Contrary to roumer we were not throwing petrol everywhere before the fire . The vehicle was roasting hot after a 50 mile drive on a 28degree hot day.

Shaun,

Was not there myself at the time, but it was surely the talk of the day. I'd say, as long as PJ will be alright and all involved learned a valuable lesson all ended well.

Re. the heat; I was surprised no-one started reenacting "It Ain't Half Hot Mum"
