    Fire In The Hole!!!

    Got woken up an hour earlier than normal by some wretched stench only to find a burning Peugeot 106 outside. So a car that has sat dormant in that spot for roughly 2 1/2 weeks now decided to catch fire. I've never trusted them.

    Here's the video, didnt realise my girlfriends phone has a rotate function on the bloody video camera. Never mind.

    So...what will you buy now?
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Well, there's one more parking spot for you now!

    I wish the cars on my street (that definitely do not belong there) would spontaneously combust as well. There are lots of Florida license plated cars around here. What the hell are they doing here in the first place? I have a feeling that they are fake plates altogether.

    yeah I have a 156, the Peugeot is in a garage that is opposite our flat. The 106 had front end damage from a collision so i'm guessing that was what caused the fire. The fire also damaged the passenger side of a 307 he had for sale that was parked next to it. I phoned him up this morning to let him know about the fire. He sounded as though this has happened before.

    never trusted French cars
    Even if my mom's first gen Renault Clio was pretty awesome. While practicing for the driving license I managed to start from almost standing into 4th gear with a 1,2 8v engine

    I'm sure it wasn't.

    No that it would've made it any easier, just because it was a diesel.
