Driver of that car should be thankful the pumps have really good brakes (and ABS).

If it was a 2.4 or Light Tanker, may not have been so lucky!

Probarly one the best videos on youtube off a vehicle responding to an incident.

LOL at part 0:48 on the video.

Is it the SO telling the driver to take it easy etc ?

Was shown some pictures of it last night. One of the pumps got very hot.. Could not tell what station it was as the name had melted off the door along with the red stripes on the reflector tape, the side mirror had melted as well. Would have been a very hot spot for the driver/pump operator!

I believe that was Maddington Pump... 8)

A techy, brought a replacement pump at approx 21:30 that night.
