Alright, chill out man, I'm only a shitty little manager, I usually get told to talk bastard home from my current job The ones that jumped out to me where the Skoda and the Merc.

Wish I still had the pictures of the burnt out frame. Wasn't rear engine though. Friend and I took it out for a spin after Dad had gone to bed and little did we know he'd been charging the battery and connections weren't back in place as they should be. About 15km from home another cars passengers are manically trying to get our attention saying there's sparks and flame underneath the car. We pull over and within a minute there's a 2-3 metre high fire ablaze over the bonnet. We start to leg it and I realise I've left the key in the ignition. Being the dumbass teenager I was I decided it was more important that a key not be found in the ignition by police and consequently my Dad than it was for me to stay well clear of a car engulfed in flame. I can't remember if I was able to get the key or not but I do remember the 15km walk home and the dread I felt as I prepared myself to admit to my Dad what I'd done on a school night. He was legendary about it, his initial reaction was to laugh and treated it like a rite of passage. Then when the detectives got involved and had footage of me at a petrol station that we'd stopped at, he defended me staunchly and possibly even didn't make an insurance claim so that the detectives would not charge me. I've had a few cars of my own since. Nothing special. Subaru Liberty was ever reliable though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
