WHAT THE FUCK!!!

whats happened?

No fucking way, how did that happen

oh shit what happened?

How did you manage to get the battery out in time?

Noooooo .. Man when karl rang me to tell me this it braught a tear to my eye .

I hope your alright dude .

Plenty cars down here iff you need to get back on the road ..

Bye Bye Muppet

Gutted man for you, absolutley gutted for you.

I know the hours gone into this.

I'm being sick for you.

RIP Muppet

Don't loose the Dub love though!!!!

errr driving to the mot station for 10, was running late due to a flat battery but my housemates girlfriend sorted me out with her getz, jump start it, get 5 minutes down the road and the idle creeped up to 3k, pull over in the park rather than going onto the main road, open the bonnet and was greeted with some flaming heatwrap.

my guess is the carbs didnt burn off all the fuel, some leaked out and caught fire. luckily i managed to get out unscathed but the car is rather poorly to say the least :(

ahhh well win some lose some, and this was a massive fail.

edit: spare battery was in the passenger footwell, managed to grab the battery, my wallet and turn the fuel pump off before doing one sharpish
