At the next set of lights a fukimng cyclist pulled up alongside me and

at the dash "Yes. The car already told me that" and shut the window in
his face.

Bless, they really get upset over the slightest things, don't they?

I pulled up alongside a white Sierra once (it was a while ago) casually
leaned over and asked the driver if he knew his car was on fire.
Turned out he didn't and we both had a look underneath, where a fair old
bit of oil smoke and the odd flame was licking. Don't know exactly what
it was, but luckily he had an extinguisher - a decent sized one too.

I was walking past a pub when I noticed a parked car smoking quite
impressively. Went in and said "anyone got a white Ford Orion parked
outside?". A guy said, "yeah, me" and put his pint down. I said "you'll
want to bring that..."
