SM42 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Well last night the Nechells Grand Prix was in full swing between 10pm and 4am on the north side of Brum I'm glad I wasn't out on the roads in that area and it sounds like many have a new layer of rubber on them. I was half expecting to have to drive around the debris on my way home from work this morning. Andy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite disconcerting to have someone overtake you at 70+ when you're doing 30. They are much better drivers than the average, so speed limits are not applicable to them! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Cummings has a record of ignoring Government Advice, 260 mile journey none stop, even at 70 all the way that's 3.5 hours.

I drive that same journey in a slower vehicle and it's 4 hours before the first stop as there are few places suitable, I then have a further 2+ hours.

Pretty sure that’s just a normal LPG leak, gas laying across the road the van almost got through but for some reason the car ignited the “cloud” and the poor old van coped a dose of flash.......I wonder if they were smoking in the car as when it goes out of shot somebody jumps from the rear door.....so it must have flashed over inside as well (if not first), I guess the “auto recirculating” on the AC wasn’t as good as it should be 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 31, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2020 The car looks low slung so it could have been the heat from the exhaust that ignited whatever it was. The van having a higher ground clearance was clear of whatever it was. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That's why if a gas system is leaking and catches fire, you don't try to extinguish the flames, but control them if possible, using water sprays, until you can cut off the gas supply feeding the flames...
