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.
