[QUOTE] Your Mum tucks the engine in at night?[/QUOTE] Dunno. All I can remember was that the car was a crap old Cortina (tautology?) and she used to put a blanket over the engine when it was frosty outside. And one day she forgot to take it off before she started the engine. The fire wasn't big but it did melt all the electrics and plastics on the engine. I think she stopped blanketing them after that.
