Another one for Golf Heaven....
« on: 11 September 2012, 10:11 »
This morning as I awoke from my slumber, I was greeted by my next door neighbour poking his head through the window and shouting "Oi fat boy, there's a Golf on fire down the road". Needless to say I was up like Usain Bolt, boxers on, belly out, panicking like f**k, trying to unlock my front door...... I ran outside to be greeted to this,






I couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of relief. But that relief soon to turned to empathy when I realised it was someone else's pride of joy. Luckily the owner had TPFT and we quickly started making jokes with the fire crew, that really it had saved him the job of torching of it himself  :grin:
 
The owner went on to explain that as they drove down the road he noticed a feint buzzing noise from the engine bay, but no discernible problem, he carried on driving for a further mile  :laugh: before he noticed a musty, smoky smell, with that recognition smoke started to bellow through the glove box and vents........and the rest is history!

Another one committed to the scrapyard heaven  :sick:

Monster graphics on a car are a clear sign of a stupid owner.

Fire probably caused by dodgy stereo wiring.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Other than a world record cabbage being grown, tis the most exciting thing to have happened in the village since the Yanks came to stay in WW2, that's why the coffin dodgers are delirious  :rolleyes:

Please feel free to move the thread Guy.

Can't disagree with this. But some people are poor as fook and that's their way of individualising their ride, sad, but true. Unless he has shares in Monster, somehow I doubt it.  :grin:

By the way, how can you tell its a Tdi? (number plate checker?)
