It was a Subaru Legacy.
This happened about 200 yards from my house. Looks like the driver was trying to "clip the apex" of a bend at what must have been one hell of a speed, and caught the Kerb, this threw the car (on two wheels going by the motorbike like skid marks) to the outside of the bend and then wrapped around a tree .... Tree 1 - Car 0.
What i don't get is the fireball from a modern car, thought that only happened in Holywood!
Horrible way to go though, be carefull out there kids!

Must have been terribly unlucky to catch fire. I would like to think that the chances of being burnt in a modern car are pretty low!
Still, same as my first reactions, i thought cars only burst into flames like that in Holywood!!!

Are the other 3 accidents rubber necking or trying to get the reg numbers as all the 'bad luck' is gone. In Malaysia yuyou see loads of people writing down car numbers at crash sites.
no the car has long gone, just a burnt tree, a big black patch on the grass and a few bits of melted metal... the rego's would have melted in the fire anyway, like most of the rest of the car!!! But yea, people do do that trick here too, especially to use the numbers on 4D (lotto)

My race car has an English reg plate, when I blew the engine up at Sepang, my mechnaic used the number on the 4d (expensive rebuild) and he won, still charged me.
guy that spanners my porker is an Ang Moh, but his mechainc would probably have done the same thing .... Actually, the week that i bought the porker, the outlaws bought 4D on my nuber and got 2nd prize ....
Yea i never saw any of that either
Asia Lah!!

What is 'Ang Moh'?What do they speak most commonly out there? Malay? Manderin? Cantonese?
Then you also get some Tamil, Tagalog, Kerala and Bangla to name but a few!
Its a place where you just give up and speak the languages that you know, trial and error of combinations will get the message across.
Having said that, English, Malay, Hokkien, Teochew and bad Mandarin are the most common and regularly used all at once.
Very little Cantonese spoken here.
