Here is an advert for getting a fire extinguisher in your car... And to act quickly with it rather than film your car burning.

Yeah seen this one before, ouch.

I think that was an electrical fire, it was inside the dash, should have disconeted the batery straight away. Electrical fires are major problem if they get hold.

I had one in the Beetle but I pulled the main fuse in the fuse box and luckily that got it before the smoke turned to flames.

heheheheGood one Ryan! hehehe The problem is being an electrical fire it will not go out no matter how much water/pee you put on it. Judging by his fire extinguisher it was clearley for oil/fuel fires. What he should have had was a C02 (carbon dioxide) not a powder type one. That is the only way you will put it out. First thing he should have done was disconect the battery. Pitty that wasa nice car! hehehehe

WAS a nice car.
So the moral is, get out, shut doors and bonnet, use the correct fire extinguisher and disconnect the battery but don't risk your life.
