Saxo on fire
Anyone we know?
Was tempted to put this in "have you been spotted" but a bit unkind!

The phrase 'you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off' comes to mind.
But on a serious note, I'd be gutted if that happened to me. Hope they occupants are okay!

Saw it on Facebook earlier. I'd be gutted if that was mine.
I had a crash once and the airbags went off. Still a bit confused the car was full of smoke from the airbags and I thought it was on fire. Never got out so quick lol. Lost all I retest in the car and just wanted to get out.

Air bags blow out with a small explosive mate
That's why they're not to be posted in normal post
And why they often leave burns on ppl's face and hands etc
