    Can't be sure I can't see what car it was and whether it was parked up or not. I'll have a look in the morning. I would bet money on it being stolen and dumped , bristol is a nightmare for car crime

    Cars rarely go up by accident, in fact all most never because it wouldn’t pass safety tests.

    He he, imagine what it would be like if cars exploded as easily as in Hollywood films. Every little scratch and bump and them suddenly, <BOOM> the car and all other cars, houses, fences, dogs and trees also explode for no reason.

    Obviously hope no one was hurt. Must be weird that happening down your road, hope that doesn’t happen often. Bristol, eh, sounds lovely.

    We get that kind of thing quite often round here. Except the nobheads that do the stealing and setting on fire here tend to leave them in beauty spots or rural areas where people like to go walking. Saw one group of 12 year old idiots try to set a tree on fire the day!

    Clearly this area is too posh for burnt out cars

    Despite mine and my housemates best efforts to bring the tone of the area down

    Probably not the case but.....

    The Peugeot 307 is getting a recall due to the faulty starter motors.
    Apparently they burn out, cause the central locking to lock all the doors then ignite themselves :/
