OMG, what were they thinking with those arches!!! This is a demo car, costing over £100,000 to build, apparently it was not insured (dick). The fire was a result of some bad wires to the speakers.

The result:

Well, I feel sorry for the owner, who obviously put some hard work in, and to lose a lot of money, but he was an idiot not to insure it!! And, well, it is a rice car, so no real loss there! :wink:

feel bad for owner he lost a whole shyte load of money you probably could've bought a 2nd hand Ferrari with that money (if about £100,000+ is equal to $100,000+)

100,000 gbp is equal to 186,000 usd so you could buy a brand fucking new 360cs or 612 or an Aston DB9 with cash to boot.

Looks like an improvement to me.. That certainly wasnt a performance oriented car judging by the rediculous rims

not a 612 dude...that's way more expensive...and of course I'd rather spend the money on a ferrari than rice up a shitty civic...this one looks like a toy car really...

Remind me to never give a shit about your oppinion again. It's just that Vida Guerra's ass keeps drawing me to reading your posts. :mrgreen:

Not insuring that car wasn't very smart. It still looks like shit, so not much of a loss for the automotive world.

I think that car was a model for a Hotwheels 1:18th scale car. I saw one looking exactly like that in the Exoticar catalogue.

From the part of that "Thing" that looks like a car i can tell that it has been an Opel Vectra before (Don´t know the Vauxhall name of it), and this isn´t the best car in general... :roll:

urm...Vauxhall Vectra?

Actually, it was Opel/Vauxhall Astra Bertone, but that Jackass ruined the car by putting crap wannabe-DTM kit. serves him right,,,and obviously that wasn't intended to be a performance car with 3 ginormous speakers on the back seat (or where it used to be)

Rice Car + Fire = one happy man

The car looks like a customization on a fantastic limited series car, the Opel Astra Coupe V8 DTM. Like the new Merc that was put on sale recently. But this sound craziness is not part of the package.
