We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Jim Warren" saying something like: When I lifted off and got the spark back, it obviously ignited the unburnt petrol/air in the exhaust, because 15 feet of yellow flame shot out of my tail pipe, up his bonnet and across his windscreen. He did an emergency stop. I carried on, and never saw him in my mirror again. I got home ok, and didn't stop grinning all the way! I didn't do it on purpose, but what a way to discourage tailgating! Welcome to the world of the Kill Switch Backfire. You should try it in tunnels. -- Dave SE6a |
