can somebody mechanically minded explain to me how revving a car can cause it to burn out? remember this is a N/A car. No turbo, no meth etc.
like hoosain says....something else must have gone wrong?
Rommies;
I have found a technical and scientific reason why the car caught on fire.
Please bear with me as it is a little complicated.
Upon driving the car down to Durban and as soon as the Marian Hill toll plaza was crossed, there is a remarkable increase in the amount on Chillie Powder and Mothers in law Masala in the atmosphere, the measurement of which is mind boggling.
There is a missed conception that rust on cars in Durban is caused to the close proximity of the Indian Ocean. However the intense red colour characteristic of the rust is directly proportional to the Chillie Powder and Masala compounds found in the atmosphere in Durban.
Now back to these unfortunate events. I believe that these Masala and Chillie powder compounds found in the atmosphere attached itself to the exhaust system. VW Golf drivers have counted these effects by lowering their cars as close to the ground as possible thus removing as much of these harmful Chillie Powder and Masala particles as possible when hitting road deviations resulting in an abrasive effect on the road surface. The addition of numerous spoilers also aids with preventing these highly combustible particles from reaching their exhaust systems
Our unfortunate bright sparks, with a combination of “check me with my Bra’s, Bally’s M3 syndrome”, “Durban Stekkies looking for a Lanie husband” and the now pissed off Masala and Chillie powder particles that have now attached themselves to the exhaust, ignited by the extreme heat of the exhaust due to the “AMG V8…. I’ll show you performance exhaust Bru” principle.
Thus resulting in one expensive night of Jollying with the Bally’s car.
