Car fire on Prairie last night

[pauljoecoe]

Big fire on Prairie last nights. To much donutting in a C63 in a tiny space surrounded by tents and cars. Diff caught fire. Fire service took ages to come. Brits of course!! I endured the wrath of some French 'why do you English do this?'

What an embarrassing reflection on the rest of us. I don't understand why these idiots don't keep this nonsense for the McDonald's carpark rather than where people are presumably sleeping. I hope the French absolutely nail them to the wall for this.

On what basis?

Private campsite. Outside police jurisdiction. They won't care.

Suspect the owner will have enough drama with an insurance claim.

Quite agree, absolutely unnecessary and stupid behaviour. Along with Dutch Techno at concert volume until stupid o'clock.

Endangering life?

I remember going to Le mans in the 80s with my Dad, there was a big bonfire in the campsite and there was a load of cars doing skids through it including a Mk1 lotus cortina. I guess it the same as Bathurst, or bikes at Mugello it's a larf ennit?

Le Mans has move on from the ‘mad Friday’ days. I have no sympathy for this guy.

Fingers crossed.

How come it's the owner's fault, unless I'm missing something?

Where to begin?

Really?

You're right, I negated to read the commentary above the screen shot and just headed for the screen shot... Now I've read it it serves the fker right

Not to the same scale but the brits have also been misbehaving on the roads around the Nurburgring this week.

How anyone thinks this is acceptable behaviour is beyond me.

I feel for the owner of that Golf - it must have been fire-damaged being that close.

Private land, not an accident, he might struggle with an insurance claim also.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

I really hope it's financed to the hilt as well.

Front right wing was certainly badly damaged including lights, bumper wheel tyre. All melted. Probably some further back too, couldn't really see.

I saw him, heard him and I wasn't convinced he wasn't complicit. He claimed he had just returned and knew nothing about it but he was parked next to it and appeared to be camping in that group. He didn't seem particularly surprised or shocked. Another guy whose tent burnt down appeared the same. I think most of those actually involved disappeared once they realised the car was properly on fire. One guy said the driver 'did a runner'.

I’d like to come in here and say I’m the owner of the golf and you have no idea what you’re talking about. Coming back with shock to see your car on fire may make you respond different to how you think. Imagine your pride on fire and being destroyed in front of your eyes and how you’d respond. I’d like you to come and speak to me by the car now and get an understanding of how I feel. fking ridiculous comment from someone with zero intelligence

[Jordie Barretts sock]

So you don't know the guy with the C63?

Suggest you find out quick to claim from his stupidity.
