Electric cars burn underwater...
« on: 01 November 2012, 18:04:23 »

...wouldn't happen to Omegas!  ;)

Stupid word filter.

Click link won't show, so cut and paste changing the word scrotebag into f-i-s-k-e-r without the dashes

Admins: It's the name of a manufacturer FFS, so why does the word filter turn it into "scrotebag"?  >:( >:( >:( ;)

Regardless of how they catch fire, you don't want to be anywhere near an electric car when it's on fire! They burn and burn well, needing large amounts of water! Makes old fashioned burning petrol/diesel, oil, plastics etc seem tame
