    Default my ****ful day car burnt out

    this happened to me today my car my pride and joy ,

    gone in 6 minutes.

    ill explain what happened now so i dont get asked a million times like i already have today.(sorry if rude but im shattered enough)

    i was going to local shops driving through i got a wiff of fuel and thought "thats wierd" anyway 2 seconds later a puff of smoke (the bad kind ) and went about 4 metres and a dude yelled out get out of your car its on fire.

    jumped out and went to open bonnet but flames were coming out front and sides of bonnet.

    some people in the shops bought out fire extingquishers but couldnt get near bonnet so sprayed wherever they could, but to no avail.

    6 minutes from the time firerys were called till it was put out.

    i have had a ****ful last couple of months and i hope this is the last thing.

    as for injurys...none just a broken heart.

    if you read this thanks for listening to my sob sorry

    How much for the rims? They still look good.

    But yeah. Bad luck ey?

    Crazy that in 6 minutes it can completely gut the car when it started in the engine bay.

    yes i admit it, i set a timed cutter on the fuel line when i saw him 2-3 weeks ago to cut the line when he was in the middle of cranbourne to set his car alight to 'aquire' his SS skirts

    seems like the fuel line broke and hit the exhaust and just went up from the photos when will you know what caused it or find out insurance **** skitzn?

    You should re-read my post bud

    As I said, I think its safe to say this IS NOT going to buff out

    Hope insurance covers everything and you can get new wheels in no time.
