Title: Spontaneous explosions
Post by: Nick on July 11, 2009, 06:47:33 PM
Is it possible (theoretically like) that a car left in the hot sun and then cooling, and then hot and cool again for a few days) might suddenly blow all its windows out. Like?

Just in case it happens  rubschin:

It could influence the answer.

Tit!



Mind I have known a rear window to do that on a hot day. I got into the car, which had been parked in the sun and slammed the door and the rear window exploded outwards. The glass man said it was not unusual given the air pressure inside the vehicle would build up in the heat and the added pressure caused by the slamming door would force the rear window out. Mind that was donkey's years ago in an Austin 1100.

"Alright Marks, what do we have here?"

"Alright guv. The victim's car has had all its windows blown out but the hubcaps and wheels are still intact."

"So it isn't a robbery then. Who is the owner of the vehicle?"

"A Mr Nick of Nick Towers."

"Ah, it'll be natural causes then. Case closed. Who fancies a pint?"
