Very easily, in fact is one of the major causes of fire. It's the hot
exhaust pipe which does it.

No idea. I assume that all cars must at least lightly brush against it,
or it wouldn't get trimmed down like it does. I never thought of that
aspect of it.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Under what
circumstances can grass ignite under a car?

Hi Peter,
You say you had grass constantly brushing the undercarriage? As
I understand it, that would make the Forester a considerable fire risk?

A few years ago I drove around Little Desert a bit in a
Forester. No
idea where I really went or what birds were around - I
wasn't birding
then and was just having a look around. It did ok,
considering we had
no idea what we were doing, but having a lower clearance
than most other
4WDs you have to put up with the continuous sound of the
grass in the
middle of the track brushing against the bottom. I
guess if any car is
going to to bottom out on the raised centre of the
track, it will be
yours. But as I mentioned, ours didn't hit anywhere.
