Aventador catching fire

[jke11y]

More Sloane Street cringe-fest.

Embarrassing in many ways; people keep filming, the fact people go there just to get teenagers to film them.

Well that has convinced me to spec a fire extinguisher for my Aventador when it arrives

on what planet would you get back into and drive off in a burning car? Not a clever chap.

[giggsy]

& entirely self inflicted!!!

[stain]

Agreed but shouldn't happen though. This is the 2nd one I've seen go up like this.

Exactly what I thought, and what part of his brain did not register, fire in a car means switch of engine straight away and get out.

Knightsbridge has become so trashy.....

Agreed... The owner had a lucky escape especially driving off.. Wonder if he will do this stunt again.. Hehe..

I'm assuming sitting there reving the tits of your Aventador get them a bit warm. Anbody know if its a stock exhaust?

[AB]

He's a member here isn't he?

Did the Gumball recently?

Involved in telecommunications in some way?

[der1]

Why the feck did he drive off do a burly and pull in at the other side?? Madness.

What components are situated behind the grill where the flames were visible?

According to his Instagram page the only damage was a melted grill, http://instagram.com/p/u5NDywm5Fb/ it probably could have been a lot worse though. There was another video like this a few months ago at a wedding where the car caught fire after shooting flames

[dudleybloke]

Glad theres so little damage.
any bets on how wallet-rapingly expensive that plastic grille is to replace?

Stationery revving like that surely cant be healthy for the engine.

showing off in knightsbridge is never a good idea, especially with 100s of cameras around. I now have to cringe everytime i drive on sloane st, living down that way i have no other way of getting to the west end than going through it and now its littered with trouble almost everytime Im on it, I see someone driving stupidly or kids darting accross the road almost getting run over to film something. I also notice the police officer in the video, so a good chance he will have reported that little incident which will lead to more hassle for drivers in the area.
