Funny little OSF thing

[mk2dk]

Did a little cleaning up in the attic today and found this little fire extinguisher. It's an original unused Ford item, and I nearly threw it away, but noticed the date - 10th month 1977 which means it possibly could have been in the car from new

Don't think it's in working condition anymore - after 30 years

Very nice........Deffo worth having a working one in the car if you can't get that one recharged.

 

I saved the day on the M5 many years back. A guy in a beetle had had his engine catch fire.. Just as they were grabbing their stuff out out the boot (bonnet ). I pulled up and put the fire out.

 

He was very grateful to put it mildly. Sent a cheque through to me for a ton (to replace my fire extinguisher ) In his letter, he admiitted he' been a bit silly spending £6k restoring a car and not another £25 on an extinguisher.

Only some of the vans have fire extinguishers, more of them should Four years ago we nearly lost our Mk2 LWB, luckily it was outside the house. The twin choke Webber had gone up, and the air filter caught light. I belted in the house and got the hose pipe turned on, so only paint damage on the bonnet and wiring damage.
