It was just as we approached the junction, I was seated in the rear with Grandmother Annie Munford when a most unusual and unpleasant smell began to drift around the interior. Mother smoked like a chimney all her life and we were all used to “Fag smoke”, but this was much different.It did not take long for smoke to begin oozing from behind the roof lining. Then quite rapidly the roof inside began to glow and the decision was made to stop and abandon ship!Fortunately the item of most immediate importance, the eggs, were in the boot and quickly accessed by opening the drop down boot lid. By now we were all out of the vehicle and stood in amazement as flames began to engulf the bodywork where we had been sitting only a few moments before. In later years and with some more knowledge I could probably have saved the car by disconnecting the battery, but as I was only almost four years old at the time my interest in cars was still purely that they were great fun to ride in, and look at, even if they were sometimes in flames!Thank you for listening to our Buzzsprout audio stories.You can follow many of these with added film and photographs as videos and slide showson our YouTube Channel at "cracker books on youtube".WEB SITE CHANGE: New Web site at www.crackerbooks.frAt the same time, Cracker Books have produced 10 complete page turninge-books on their own Site.All the books are free to download to any device.Have a look at our bookcase and view all the book details. http://online.flipbuilder.com/crackerbooks/ Finally for lots of further information about what we publish and why have a look at our website at www.crackerbooks.fr
