    Blew the entire roof of the rangie ,and the shed it was in .
    Someone was trying to steal the Foulcan , then got the ****s with it and torched it .The rangey was just in the wrong place at the wrong time





    A few Items I came across that are still allright

    That's not an explosion! Mythbusters would be ashamed of an explosion where you could still recognise the vehicle afterwards! From experience taking the roof off a RR doesn't take much effort, there's not much structure up there. Sad end for a nice vehicle though.

    I've seen one other split gas tank, our local gas wholesaler used to have one out the front like that which had been caught in the Ash Wednesday fires. Just a wee split, nothing a good panel beater couldn't fix.

    I took home a gas tank from the local wreckers once, a staff member had come back after hours to siphon some petrol, had a fag end he dropped in the resulting puddle. A gas tank in the pile next to it got so hot all the plastic fittings inside the tank were melted, but the tank still held gas. I must find the pic one day. Headline: GAS TANK DIDN'T EXPLODE!

    Holy Sheet!

    I feel humbled.

    Suddenly, petrol is NOT quite so expensive anymore.
