that is tight you think they could have had a fire extingusher in the car to try to put it out when it started

 

[Lyons]

Aye, its been up before. I would cry like.

 

[Gobsheene]

Owhhhh no that would make you cry... no heat sheild tho...

Unreal how fast the fire licks through the inside of the car.

Like a black firey version of lenny old motor!

They did i think mate, but it was one of those piddly wee fire beater ones! lol

 

[Morty]

They did i think mate, but it was one of those piddly wee fire beater ones! lol

you could notice it for a couple of seconds

but i did notice that it only took firemen 2minutes 16 secs until they were starting to put it out

wish that could happen over here then alot of major damage might be prevented

why would you just stand and film that?? weirrrrrd.. gutted 4 owner all the same

 

[dubburke]

Saved the wheels though!

 

[ray]

i would cry if i owned that

 

[Mickylad]

Saved the wheels though!

thats exactally wat i thought aswell!! aw really pity!

 

[rsnutter]

Quite old. Would be one of the worst thing ever to have to stand and watch you car burn. Thats exactly why i'll be buying 2 extinguishers when my engine s tuned.

 

[big cyril]

Thats rough.
Notice the airbag wheel has been removed also - seems like an odd thing to do.

 

[Lyons]

Judging by the gauge pod on the dash, im assuming it was a fairly quick tuned model. So the wheel could well have been replaced to reflect this.

 

[big cyril]

Why would removing the airbag wheel make it quicker?

 

[Lyons]

Lol, no no. It seems to be the norm with these kiddo's who have prompt, modified engined cars, to get some supportive bucket seats + a small racing wheel!

 

[ossy2004]

this video and the clio v6 burning, makes my eyes water lol what a waste and a pity

 

[big cyril]

Lol, no no. It seems to be the norm with these kiddo's who have prompt, modified engined cars, to get some supportive bucket seats + a small racing wheel!

Think it'd be the last thing I'd remove - they'd feel pretty stupid if they crashed and got a face full of metal wheel boss.

not alot else can be done lol!!!

I was thinking the same thing about the wheels lol, seems at the end of the video they were looking about the car for something to salvage lol! what a nice car that was! *sighs*

 

[Lyons]

Think it'd be the last thing I'd remove -

It would certainly be between it or the arm rest in the Bora

 

[wingnut]

I think if you're getting your car engine into a state where there's quite a risk of it catching fire, you'd be best investing in one of those plumbed in extinguishers.

wots the song playing in background?

 

[Steve]

nasty.

years ago my gran had an '88 1.4 escort, i drove round to the house one morning and the windows where all black, the fire had started during the night but had starved itself of oxygen inside the car, dash and all melted onto the floor, crazy

 

[vwpolo]

thats sad ****,prob his pride and joy.pore lad

 

[Nicky]

Great camera work, none the less...

Its not like theres a shortage of Mk4 Golfs on the road lol

 

[djlee_dj]

seen it before

lucky he had the camera.

and if my mate was standing filming my car burning instead of running and rapping every door in the street trying to get sources of water to try and help me i would seriously turn that camera sideways and shove it right up his **** !!!
