Mines been there since March
As long as it's not in the window it'll be fine. Mines in the door 'crap holder'

Mine was in the side door holder tbf and it was roasting but I suppose when parked in 25 degree direct sunlight its no surprise

Didn't think so..an ounce of alcohol hand gel inside a car is a fire hazard but 40 litres of petrol under the car is perfectly safe

Think Obi is going on by a news article that appeared online supposedly a car window panel set on fire due to alcohol hand sanitizer

There was an NHS internal email going around, some newspapers picked up on it(staff leaked it for a few quid), and wrote about it without doing any fact checking.
Fire brigades across the world debunked it almost immediately.

Yeah i was mate

When one sees the NHS attached to a report(also a newspaper reporting it), one assumes it has brevity, it's just in this case, there was none.
No offence intended, I thought rather than deleting your thread, people could see the claim", then the rebuttal, if that makes sense.
