I've got a 1kg one, at the moment its jammed under my drivers seat.
Good thread this, might give me some better ideas where to store it.

As Paul Ripley says, fire extinguishers are a must!

If yor putting it at the side of the seat make sure its secured. You don't want it flying forward and going in under the brake pedal !! It happened a m8 of mine with a lucozade bottle, ended up rear ending a car.

I've got too little imperial blue ones (I'm such a girl)

Got one down the side of me in the door pocket and another in the boot. Broke the cables off for easy access. Ever since my 'near fire' I'm a bit para!
