i've got video footage of the labbats 3 door on fire

and i'm not too sure what happened to the als stickers up car that went round once, then never came back round again before the session was red flagged 2 laps later

anything else?


oh yeah, took my own food and drink with me

someone slipt a whole cup of tea in the back seat at the services though and then the air con starting fooking about on the way home and would only work for a few seconds at a time before blasting hot air out again

nope mate, straight up
but photobucket seems fooked at the moment so i can't put it up

he was coming along the back bit and i was just about to turn the camera off as we were going and the mrs shouted "look look!" and the car was aflame

the commentary sounds a bit harsh but he spent about 10 seconds stil in the car after it stopped trying to get the fire extinhisher out from the looks of it
