Yeah.... Asked him about the Corn Flakes. His response, "Most important meal of the day and I was on the way to work!"

Wtf did you even search for to find that?????

Actually. That looks like fuel leak from a fuel line or the fuel tank and dripping on the exhaust pipe, then the car going on fire, since the fire started in the back.

Heard of that before once. Not cool. I'm kind of glad for him tbh. A car so problematic and to go in the manner in which it did he may put some thought into the next one he puts his son in the back of

The fuel leak from the tank can happen to a lot of'em. My 23yr old Audi has that problem. Feckin' steel tank. Have to replace it.

I find these kind of videos fascinating, WW2 Russian and German tanks being pulled from bogs around eastern Europe:

Relax. Not sure about your yoke. If it has a plastic tank, you've nothing to worry about. Besides that, your car hasn't lived in Scotland for 10 years of it's life.

Japan and Ireland were practically salt free .. well .. Ireland until recently. Not even sure if it has a steel tank.

Worst case get one of the lads in Scullys to have a look at it at some point .. for ease of mind.

Well it has been smelling of petrol a bit more than usual on start up, it's going to the Doc for a few things to be checked very soon this will be on the list.

That smell of petrol is normal for those older BMW engines though. My E34 had that, too. Was a feature of the engines with hydraulic pushrods

Which brings me back to a photo a buddy of mine put on Facebook last week. Driving to work, got a few beeps from behind. Pulled in, opened the boot and was met with this. He salvaged the car seat, laptop and some Corn Flakes and left his mates model aircraft which he had borrowed in the car. I asked if he could have got closer to that Renault !
Apologies for the hooooge image

I used to see that car most mornings on the ballymun road.

I feel for anyone who has their car destroyed like that but I have to be blunt, rarely have I seen someone driving a car so regularly like a complete gob****e...I came across his accident with another car that caused the damage you can see on the front left...I was completely unsurprised.:eek:
