Up in flames on a test drive

[deeps]

Apparently it was on a test drive from Leeds McLaren, a 4 month old Artura V6 petrol hybrid. I believe there's already been a recall on them, not sure. I would guess the salesman didn't clinch the sale this time

Hopefully no one hurt.
Not a lot left there for even the least fussy souvenir hunter.

Better a test drive than the first drive after delivery.

Or park in a multi-level airport carpark

"..okay but apart from the fact that the car burst into flames, what did you think?"

[Eric Mc]

Well, the salesman did say it went like a bomb.

Tavarish will have that back on the road.

Would the test driver have any liability here?

Just before he pulled off the forecourt the salesman said "you bend it, you mend it'

"big boy rules" :-)

None at all, not his car, not his insurance.

Agreed. How could he have any liability for it?

No more burnouts on test drives.

The thing that bothers me is the soft drinks can. Why would you just drop it there?

Sorry, I should be more concerned about the combustible McLaren.

The can of Fanta was all they had to hand to put the fire out?

(Perhaps fire extinguishers on board would be useful!)

When I said you could do one burnout, that's not what I meant.
