    Very impressive!
    Only five minutes to be entirely destroyed!
    Sad day and big loss for the owner!

    They do burn well don't they.

    I have been in two Miuras that have caught fire.

    The first one started misfiring and managed to rev the engine very hard and it sucked the fire out. The second not so lucky. By the time we pulled over the fire was well alight. Fired an extinguisher in through the rear louvres which put it out but it then relit and my extinguisher had run out. Then a very nice man in a council lorry stopped with the daddy of all extinguishers and put it out. Damage was bad but fixed in three weeks.
    This car doesnt really look too badly damaged. We have had much worse in. It will be rebuilt.
    To those that dont carry an extinguisher...get one ....its well worth it.

    Really? Is that because they're worth so much now? - like Rowan Atkinson's McLaren?
