Wow the softest of journalism there.

Motoring expert Trent Nicolic from Drive, which is owned by the Nine Network and publishers of this website, said more things can go wrong with cars as they become more advanced.

"They have electrics, they have batteries, they've got a fuel tank full of petrol or diesel," Mr Nicolic said.

You call that a car fire?
Maybe ask Tom Bailey (worlds fastest street car owner) about car fires:

And here is world's fastest street car going up in flames:
Maybe tell those aussies to stop whinging

They're only about 20 years too late. That being said in dry weather even a cigarette butt can start a bushfire is thrown onto grass.

5 cent O ring......
Now now, he wasn't sure of the exact cost of the o-ring.
And does admit that it may have come off of a spare injector as per a standard practice up until now (he has found better o-rings to use on injectors since then).

P.S have you seen his new NOMAD?

Indeed. DT is the man, I can't wait to see their 55 finished and on Drag Week.

The Nomad has been in the works for a bit as it's been in the back ground in a few video's on the Racing with Alex Taylor youtube channel but they have kept it out of shot.
