So I took off for a midnight coffee with my mate. Went to Fast Eddies in the city. Coffee was so sh!t I asked for another one (which I NEVER do). The second one was just as bad though....

Anyway, we're talking about something random then all of a sudden.....BOOM!

Straight ahead of me on the road this car blows up!

Three guys are walking right past it when it happens.

A guy jumps out of the car in flames.

My mate and I grab our shit and run out. My car is parked opposite the one that is currently on fire.

Get outside, and it blows up another 3 or 4 times from the NOS bottles (probably) before finally the gas tank goes and spews fire everywhere.

Security guard in a car comes by and tells us civilians to go get water.....:P

Meanwhile the guy that was burning seems alright down the ther end of the street. There are some other people on the other side who are standingabout 10m from said burning car. We're yelling at them to run away, but they are obviously retarded and would prefer the warmth.

A couple minutes later the cops come armed with a pissant 2kg fire extinguisher. The car spews more flames and the officer realises he's gonna need something a bit bigger.

A couple minutes after that the fire truck arrives and puts the car out as the tyres catch fire and leave us all with an aweful taste in our throat.

Took some footage with my phone but can't get it off to show you guys yet. It doesn't have bluetooth or a data cable !rant

Had a quick look at my car, seemed alright. Just wanted to get the hell outta there. Will check it out proper in the daylight.

DAMN!

You sure it was from the nitrous oxide bottles? They arent flammable, but of course they make a big bang if they blow up, and they accelerate combustion too because they create oxygen.

Apparently the dude lit a smoke and his car went up. Heard this on the news (radio) this morning. Police suspect someone played with the fuel hoses.

I think it time the guy quit smoking ;)

not a problem.. just bring your bottle in to em. No special licence's needed.
Do allow a day for it cause they need to chill the bottles down to get maximum fill. So drop it off in the morning & pick it up in the late afternoon kinda thing. How much depends on how empty the bottles are. I cant remember what it cost.

what kind of car was it that blew up? no doubt it will be on the news that some "HOON" with a "MODIFIED CAR" who had just gotten back from "STREET RACING" forgot to turn off his "NOS BOTTLE WARMER", or some crap...

more bad credit for the car modifyer crowd. pfft.

sweet... i cant wait to have a NOS powered rc :P, might be a better idea to use the chassis as a basis for a drag car... now i have finished the drift wheels :(

Actually the radio said something about an LPG tank & car blew up when a ciggie was being lit.. So it was probably a family sedan or somethin.

Full bottle refill is around 80 from what I've been told...thats for a 10lb bottle.

cool, this thing maybe holds 500ml and is a skinny bottle.

a 10lb bottle may b a bit excessive for the RC :P

No news crews. Dunno what *really* blew up. But there were definately 3 or 4 smaller explosions after the initial one suggesting bottles of something.

The electrics melted and shorted together cos the alarm went off mid-burn which was hella funny. Then the headlights came on, and stayed on %-6

Dunno what car. Couldn't see it through the flames. And after it was out, I couldn't make out what it was anyway.
