Once had vapour lock in a PA31 on take off on a very hot day - unusual for a turbocharged injected engine to do that!

Never got above about 20mph, but with one engine delivering between about 40% and full power in rapid fulctuation that was entertaining enough.

No prior warning at all and this following a run up just before entering the runway as my instructor said "we've held for a while, lets be cautious!"
