Just thought I'd stick this up.

 

Was traveling home last night, not in the Z thankfully, and noticed a smell which I thought was the exhaust feeding into the car.

 

By the time I was off the motorway and had slowed down in town the smell changed rappidly from an exhaust smell to a deffinate smell of fuel.

 

The car started to stutter and then cut out by this time I'm rolling along with no brakes, no clutch and someone driving behind me flashing there lights.

 

As the car finally rolled to a stop thick black smoke started to billow out of the dashboard, 15 min and 1 large shiney fire engine later I was the proud owner of a 3 year old S60 Volvo with no front end and on board swimming pool in the back.

 

Anyway no one hurt, and it is just a car.

Thats bad news mate, its only a car right enough, but probably inconvenient to say the least. Glad no one was hurt tho as it could have been a wee tadge worse with the fuel smell being apparent !:eek:

 

And, it wasnt the Zed. Just think, that means you will have to use the Zed more often ? Any excuse !!:)

 

Should be a quick response with the insurance on that one !

 

Take care matey,

 

Alan.................

sorry to hear that mate, im glad that youre alright though.

That's really bad news buddy, but at least it wasn't the zed that burnt which is always a bonus! :)

 

Hope you get everything sorted out soon

Thanks Guys. Complication is that the car although mine is insured by the company so is going to be a pain to sort out.

 

Still things cant get any worse.

 

cheers

Bloody hell sounds scarey. Do you now the cause??

 

did you get any pics :wack:

Got a few shots on the phone, to dark to really make out.

 

I think there was a fuel leak in the engin bay.
