CJ Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 My guess would be a fire extinguisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The emergency flare. Threw mine away, probably best not to have a 12 year old firework in the footwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 A flare??? That's a bit different, what was toyotas thinking behind that. Thanks Guys. Only on Jap spec, something to do with them travelling into the hills in Japan? I guess communication is shit so they have a flare incase they get in the shit?

MrAngry Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I took my flare in to work and let it off with the fire crew nearby just in case :flame:They are quite impressive It isn't the type that heads skywards! I am suprised that they aren't pulled out of the cars before going on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 its a legal requirement in Japan to have a flare, much like a warning triangle. if you break down, set up the flare to warn others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Cool, Maglite holder is a good idea just the right sort of size. Have to admit i would never have guessed that it used to hold a flare. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 yeah i had a bag of the things from when i worked at an import garage, the boss said to take them out of all the cars so they just went in my boot, beats a sparkler on fireworks night!

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 don't let them off unless your prepared to explain to a japanese helicopter pilot it wasn't a emergency and you don't need the coastguard. I use mine to hold a fire extinguisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 still got mine in the footwell, perhaps i may take it out and replace with a Maglight Can someone video themselves letting on go ? It would be good to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
