Lucky escape!

Can't believe he drives off afterwards?

Wonder if it's happened before and that's how he extinguished it?

[Mr Trophy]

Another reason why these kind of cars should have a fire extinguisher in them due to the sheer heat that comes off them!

Don't think it's normal for actual fire to come from the engine bay. Revving the tits off it at a stand still can't help matters.

Amazed he just drives off at the end!

Trying to get some airflow in there.

Because fires don't like lots of oxygen ?

I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying that's what he was trying.

[ivaylo]

Did he get a parking ticket?

[hornetrider]

Awesome looking colour on it as far as I could tell. Looked like an automan/tron paint job.

Seeing as he's a fellow PHer, he may let us know

I'm ashamed to be a PHer.

Seems like you don't need brains to afford an Aventador.

From today, I will now be carrying a bottle of Mountain Dew in the car just in case of any surprise fires

According to the internet: "Mountain Dew has a flame retardant in it."

Nice to see he shows some gratitude to the guy who sacrificed his drink to save his car.

Sitting revving your car in the street is such a tttish thing to do. There was a short, fat, bald guy with a moustache sitting in a white Aventador Spyder in Bond Street last week doing the same thing. I think he thought it was a mating call.

Hahahahahhahaha
This video is an example to most of us as to why life just isn't fair

Any local residents would have been willing that thing to go up in smoke!
