More operator error than actual car fail (drunk). Actually, I think his car did well to keep going after the first impact.
(Note: I spy a Porsche 4wd taken out amongst others...)

All I know is my gut says maybe.

Depends really, I wonder whether the driver just jumped out of the car once it caught on fire, or had the presence of mind to turn the ignition off first.

Because it seems to me that if the fuel pump was turned off then the fire would have been put out. If he didn't turn off the car, then really only foam would have put out the fire.

Nothing that fireman could've done would've stopped that fire, drivers fault for not having a killswitch/turning off ignition.

That happened to a mate of mines skyline on the freeway, not even pushing it either. Whole car went up, complete write off.

someone needs to post the thread off another forum site, where some guy put the NOS drink into his motorbike, and thought it was a performance enhancer
