Found on another forum:
Dude was on his way to rotorstock and there was a problem with 2 fuel pumps and something to do with the fuel rail or line (leak somewhere) As he went to pull away he indicated and must have caused a spark..
450bhp@ the wheels and £25k's worth of money up in flames...

imagine the feeling you have, watching it burn, and having to admit defeat with the extinguisher
i'd be cheering if it happened to my corsa, slight bit of smoke and i'm blowing it gently trying to get it going
