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?'

On what basis?

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

Endangering life?

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.

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'.

Whoops wrong quote sorry.

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

Whatever - I was there. Just another load embarrassing load of pissed British tossers who ruin Le mans for me. Back to Tesco carparks for donut sessions next week no doubt.
