[QUOTE="sakuraguy, post: 897104, member: 6441"] [b]Bird On Fire - Early Morning Accident[/b] Bird on fire! It looks as if the Kenari hit the car in front. As for what happened later, you can guess from these photos that were taken by Kakak from the Waja Performance Club. http://www.yourimagelink.com/uploads/c892052709.jpg Something similiar had actually happened to my mother before, but it was not because of an accident. Her 20 year old Nissan Sunny’s wiring had short circuited and the sparks caused the dashboard area to catch fire. Luckily she got out of the car and asked one of the shops along the road for a fire extinguisher. http://www.yourimagelink.com/uploads/6300671158.jpg The car spent two months in the workshop.

I’m no expert. But it was scary, really I don’t blame those people for running for cover. In this WPC forum, I posted a question that even if we have a fire extinguisher in the car, will we be brave enough to pry open the bonnet to attempt to put the fire out before it becomes uncontrollable?? Would it be wiser to just save yourself and claim insurance later (if can claim la). In all it took seven minutes for the fire to engulf all. The fuel tank ignited, the fire grew brighter and higher, the petrol cap blew off (I found that out later after the fire had died down that the cap was missing), but there were no loud explosions. Only muffled thuds.
