    D3 Boom

    A D3 spontaneously combusted on Kalamunda road at the top of the hill. I will post some pics when I get home tonight. It was the Ditchwitch D3.

    D3 Boom

    As it turns out this one was pretty much right outside our house, Kelly was just about to pull in. He was towing a dingo type digger up the hill and it caught on fire at the very top. Apparently it went up really quick. A mate of mine who was in the truck in front of Kelly has some pics which I will try to get from him. Not a good day for Mr Ditchwitch man.
