Got to feel a bit sorry for this guy, he is from Sweden and his Fabia is his pride and joy, or should I say WAS his pride and joy! ..................................................................

sh!t. :eek: what a waste. :(

I feel really sorry for him aswell.

It was a nice Fabia. :(

That must have been rough for him, poor guy. Good reminder to have a fire extinguisher as part of the kit in any car.

I don't suppose it had a diesel engine in it, right?

oh dear..... wonder what happened......?

i wonder what happened to that too??

Oh Dear

Another Fabia leaves this world :(

From what I read on the site, he'd over-wintered the car, and this was it's first long run out this year, since being serviced following the long period off the road. Best guess was a fuel pipe popped off, or something went under the bonnet.

I believe it was a 1.4 16v engine.

I wonder if the rear lights are for sale?

I was hoping they had been destroyed tbh

He shouldn't have set fire to it, just so he can use his GAP insurance for the new improved Vrs Fabia next year.

Shocking!

Drove past a fairly new Hyundai Coupe the other week in a similar state of inferno on the M42 with no fire brigade yet in attendance! Wonder what causes these thing!

I believe it was a 1.4 16v engine.

Looks a bit smokey for a petrol though.....:P

Deserves to burn for those rear lights and bumper.

I believe it was a 1.4 16v engine.

Bugger

:orb_sad:

I'd guess at a petrol leak onto a hot manifold to get that sort of fire....

Wouldn't want to be taking pics bearing in mind the thing would have had a tank of fuel though

I do hope the awful lights and bumper were consumed by the inferno.

Look on the bright side, it could have been much worse

Did I miss something there ?
