was linked to this on FB - meant to be a Paul Walker tribute night which is kind of ironic! What a helmet the kid must be to do this to his own motor

I thought that this was perfectly acceptable behaviour from Renault's build quality?

I salute the legacy of paul walker. I particularly like how the community came together to help a fellow enthusiast in his hour of need and didn't just jump in their motors and bolt

Default Car catches fire at Paul Walker memorial cruise
Saw this popping up on Facebook over the weekend...apologies if its a repost

Boy decides to sit on the limiter for 15 mins in his Focus, till it dies and catches fire and car burns right out:

Isn't this what every car enthusiast wants ? to see someone hold there car on the rev limiter for ages, then to watch it catch fire ?

Cock and spanner spring to mind

Still I bet it kept them all warm.

The irony of paul walker dying in a car inferno and this lads car burning out


At least the bell end cruisers are still giving us petrol heads a good name

These paul walker memorial cruises/meets just seem to be highlighting how many dickheads are still in the petrol head "scene".

It did make me laugh how quickly everyone moved their cars but no one went to help, surely someone must carry an extinguisher or is it just us shonky Ford owners ?

https://passionford.com/forum/cars-f...ml#post6391166
