    Kia Sportage **Red Hot Deal!** (beach fire!)

    Apparently selling like hot cakes!

    personally i dont see the appeal







    These were taken last night(sat night) about 8pm just north of the Sygna, we saw the plume of smoke in the distance and decided to take a look, apparently they were driving along when the brakes failed then it caught fire!! i will stick to my land rover thanks

    Yeh it took about 15mins of burning to get to the stage you see in the pics, fire died down as all the plastic and burnable bits were gone, but the body was still glowing red hot in places!

    Saw it yesterday on the LROC run. It looked as though the front suspension had collapsed as well.

    The rack had seperated as well. We couldn't see how a fire would cause the ball joint to come apart.

    We figured the steering failed & it then got torched
