I got stuck in non moving traffic at some green lights last night, changing lanes it was clear to see a modern mini was causing problems, as I passed it I heard the engine at full chat, screaming to death (no smoke), not even the classic rev limiter bouncing around and the car not moving with a rather concerned driver inside. Being the helpful guy I am I drove on by and continued my journey but as I did I was suddenly aware that my car had filled with eye stinging, nose dissolving gasses. The effects lasted for 5 minutes at least. I've worked in some garages and inhaled many toxic things but nothing like this... I suppose the closest I've been to that was when I mixed bleach with brick acid in a portacabin. What was that all about?

Probably a diesel with a knackered turbo allowing oil to be sucked up into the engine which it is then burning and causing it to run away until it either runs out of oil and siezes, or explodes. Although that is usually accompanied by smoke. Very common problem on Land Rover TDi engines!!

I suppose the closest I've been to that was when I mixed bleach with brick acid in a portacabin. What was that all about? Hard to say. Maybe you were experimenting and trying to get high. Maybe you were going through a difficult patch and it was intended as a cry for help. Maybe you had a job where the foreman said "Go in that portacabin over there and mix us up two gallons worth of bleach and brick acid". If the latter, it may have been a hazing prank. |

I see what you done there. It was an attempt at trying to remove skids from a toilet block I had rented. Bleach didn't work so I used something I thought was a little stronger and then shut the door and left it to soak in for a bit. How was I supposed to know that what it actually was doing was producing the worlds biggest, most powerful chlorine (or something similar...) bomb?
Opened the door and walked in... face pretty much dropped off, lungs fell out... no oxygen in there, no sir.
