Looks like fuel lines at the start.. flares and fast spread across the top of the engine.

What the hell was that? The guy was just standing right next to the car taping it and laughing.

I can't believe there was nothing that could have been done. It started so slowly.

Are those the same rims that one of the guys here has? ATB or someone?

Aha.. found his profile: https://rennlist.com/forums/members/93-atb.html

They are nice rims.. look great on an OB.

On the bright side, this video makes me glad I recently upgraded the fire extinguisher in my car to a bigger 2L one.

Easily could have been avoided. It didn't need to burn that far. I'm guessing owner wiring caused it. Thats is EXACTLY why I yank all PO wiring when I get a car. A Fire extinguisher would have stopped it in no time.
