Is fire a common problem with Ferraris? As I once saw an Italian-plated 575 on fire at the side of the A20 a couple of years ago.

If it was mine I would be gutted

damn beaten to it

Ouch.

Thats only about 5 minutes from where I live. Mad mile is right too. Coming from Sutton and through that roundabout, its usually all guns blazing to the traffic lights. Funny to watch people as they go for it, I have to say. Still, wont be so funny trying to explain it to the insurance company for this one...

i wonder if he was extending it to get it past the quiet exhaust zone..

Yeah, what is it with fire and Ferraris?

I've seen an F355 and a 360M up in smoke. Is it just dodgy Italian wiring?

T-cut? Nah, that Ferrari's a bit beyond t-cut.

more like some colour wax, that'll see it right as rain. I've got half a bottle of the stuff that I don't need now, someone give the addy of the owner and I'll stick in the post

It's not yours but it is gutted!

Sad waste of a fine car.

Ferrari's designers are great - in fact, they're on fire!

That's the third 599 I've seen pics off that's caught fire whilst driving; along with two or three R8's; does anyone know the cause?

[mr_tony]

has it hit something? Doesn't look like it. Looks like some kind of spontaneous combustion.

Weird position for the car too - it's parked just before a turn off - you'd have thought the driver would ahve got off the main road if they noticed the car was on fire, unless it happened v fast and they were queuing in traffic?
