Default Luxury Porsche up in flames, 93 GTS

I am happy I have spent a fortune on Greg Brown fuel hoses.

that fire truck must have been parked in front of the car when it caught fire. I would think the car would be fully engulfed being stuck in Hong Kong traffic before a fire truck got there?

at least we are still considered a luxury car!

Spend a bit of time in Hong Kong every year. One thing I know is that fires are taken seriously. Fire trucks have full right of way to anywhere. Ambulances, well you take your chance.

Well, sorry to see what looks like a GTS in good shape go up in flames and sad for the owner. These car-bque threads are too common.

Off-topic, but I really love Hong Kong. It's one of my favorite cities in Asia. Although I have to say, it's becoming a little too cleaned up like many other cities I used to know and like.

It is sad to see that 928GTS caught fire. We just have a gathering on last Nov. at Porsche Classic Gathering function.

Do you think it is Fire from power steering hoses or fuel hoses?

Nice representation. I especially like the Raspberry GTS.

That video link of the fire makes it look like power steering hose, assuming the car is RHD.
