Best Maintenance Reminder Yet!

[bwv]

There's a lot to be said for regular preventative and routine maintenance.

Here's a little reminder, that you never know where you will be when that part you neglected reaches end of life and fails !

Family's car catches fire in Longleat lion enclosure (Clicky)

Mrs Clements, from Kingswood, Gloucestershire, told the BBC: "It could have been in the flamingos or the camels but no, it had to be in the lion enclosure."

Eyewitness George Lear said the lions "didn’t take their eyes off the fire and smoke"

A day to remember for that family

"Unfortunately they were shouting to us: 'Get back in the car, do not get out of the car'," she added."

Hmm... Burned alive or eaten by lions.....

That's a tight spot.

"D@mn, dinner just fell out of the oven."

"Hopefully someone will run and trigger our CHASE instinct."

"Rare... lot's of pink in the middle, yeah, that's how I like it"

I dont see anything conclusive about why the car went up in flames. The only thing even remotely hinting at lack of maintenance is that someone "thought" the car was overheating. Who knows, maybe it was carelessness from whomever was performing maintenance?

At least the report clearly states that no lions were hurt during the near roasting of humans.

Well....maintenance or no... It definitely overheated a little !

 

[verranth]

Well....maintenance or no... It definitely overheated a little !

I will, generously, grant you that one. Well done good sir.

The cause is obvious. He was running CAR TIRES!!!!
