Just read the following on the dutch Skoda sight.

this unfortunate Dutch Yeti owner just escaped the flames in time before his Yeti completely

burned to a total loss wreck.

The driver went to pick up some bottles "refined Petrol" during the journey back home he had

to brake hard and the bottles rolled from the seat onto the floor.

During this most like a bottle leaked and likely static energy iginated the flammeble liquids.

Once the driver noticed the flames he stopped his car and jumped out at approx 20km

just in time before the entire car was inflames.

Ohhhh :(

Looked nice before the fire, was that steel grey?

Very sad for the owner and a tragic demise of a fine Monster :(

TP

:peek:

Good that the driver got away.

Stupid to carry unsecured flammable liquids in the car. I'd bet he will not do that again.

Petrol in a "bottle", loose on the seat .. .. .. .. OMG

The words - risk & assessment - spring to mind!!!

A very lucky escape for the driver

A worthy story!

We would all get it right with hindsight.

Feeling poetic so will quote a grook:-

"There is an art of knowing when,"

"Never try to guess."

"Toast it 'till it smokes"

"Then twenty seconds less."

Wow, our national Poet Laureate

Hope I spelt his name right!!!!

Hope I spelt his name right!!!!

Yer did. yer did indeed - and the name origin is Holland, but his humour and insight very Danish indeed.

Loosely translated:

He, who loses a glove is lucky in relation to the one who loses a glove, discards the other, and finds the first.

Or to keep on topic, He who buys a Yeti, discards it and buys something else, and then misses the Yeti is a lost soul.
