I hope you all enjoyed the weekend? and enjoyed reading the many leaflets that you found stuck on your pride and joy whenever you returned to your car. I Bly hate that!!
I came back to mine to find 4 differant ones, but i did'nt find them all!!
As i was driving back along the front after the show,we started smelling smoke, but we just thought it was the van in front,Next thing we had lots of smoke in the car...Panic time!!
We were stuck in very slow moving traffic, and looked for a place to pull off, we dived down a side street with it getting worse, stopped and opened the bonnet, only to find one of those efin leaflets had fallen onto the exhaust manifold and was alight. I soon snuffed it out, and after a few well chosen swear words i was able to continue.
The amazing thing about it was that all was left of the leaflet was the web address of the people that stuck the leaflet under my wipers.
I won't mention their name on here, and i will let the others sweat it out a bit.
Any ideas where i would stand legally if my pride and joy had gone up in smoke because of these damn leaflets would be much appreciated.
I will be contacting the company during this week, the see what their comments are.
Thanks to Debs and Simon, Paul and Tracy for coming to our aid.

I had a Quavers wrapper rubbing against my front pulley (Oo-er!!)!

The strange metallic rubbing noise it made had me convinced my engine was on the way out....

Nice when you find out it's something mundane!
Take your point about the leaflets though.....one of my pet hates too!

Steve, your car is so hot they would have ignited upon contact with the windscreen.
