Yes indeed a good tale that has a safe ending. Last year while welding in my
workshop attached to my garage I set fire to some thinners which resulted in a
blaze! I rushed out shouting FIRE in true Basil Fawlty style to alert wife
grabbing my extinguisher as I went, I was in full panic mode as I tried to
operate the damn thing and managed to get it going and rushed back in to put
the fire out. I could have lost my workshop/garage as well as the wifes
pristine MX5 my Quantum and my Special that I built 3 years ago. We look back
and laugh about it now but fire spreads so fast its frightening.

Had a very scary few moments this morning, just after getting the 2+2 mot'd.
when I went to start it up, it did not start but there was a wisp of smoke from
under the bonnet. I grabbed my fire extinguisher from the boot and opened the
bonnet to see flames at the back of the engine. Thankfully a quick blast of dry
powder and the fire was out. Very scary and I count my self very lucky that I
could tackle the fire so promptly I could very easily have lost the 2+2. The
reason for the fire, a fuel hose had come lose. The good news is that the fire
did very little damage, and after fixing the hose, I was able to start the car
and drive home.
