Nightmare- Incinerated dive gear!

Set off to Roho this afternoon to pick up my cylinder. I get to around half a mile from Roho when I notice smoke billowing from under the car bonnet.

Panic!! - Shed load of dive gear in back, so I pull over to bail out.

Deep breasts, stop, think and act.

1. Get my ass out of car. Done. What next?
2. Pile dive gear at side of road.
3. Rescue some important work.
4. Re-assess

Crackles under bonnet- Should I open it? Thinks not, air will feed combustion.

So I open it anyway!

Turns out that I topped up the oil earlier in the day and didn't put the oil cap back. So oil on the exhaust and lost of smoke.

So I cleaned up and got home safe, and with dive gear in-tact.

Roll on Sunday!

Don't suppose you noticed if they'd filled mine did you?
Need to collect them tomorrow. Hope I have more luck with the car

I hope that isn't setting the tone for your trip mate - I'm sure it'll be forgotten by the time we get up there though
