Found this on a local forum today. Figured I should post it up.

Quote "So my time almost came to an end this morning... im very lucky to be alive.

First of all, GO HUG YOUR WIFE/HUBBY and tell them you love them.

i had an acetylene bottle in my truck, the valve was bumped so slightly and over night the truck filled with the gas. i noticed the smell, and opened the doors to air out the truck. i drove the truck out of the garage to get some more air movement. i went to roll the pass side window down and as soon as i touched the power windows. BAM. with me in the truck. i lost all hearing out of my right ear and got a scratch on the back of my head. all things considering, im alive.

so now ive got the question out to toyota about a 2012 TT. 125 to canada only, 15 in standard. i want a standard...

pictures tell 1000 words.

dont take any minutes or seconds you have for granted... it may be your last...

peace everyone,"

And on to the pic's:

[subieboy]

And what a fuckwit... acetylene tank leaking and he go's to move it... That there is call the Fire service territory and vacate the building...

This guy must be related to those NZ dumbasses a few years back who were sniffing something flammable in a closed car and decided to light up a fag.

Flambe time !

I call bullshit - the roof is bent inwards. I think it's been rolled... maybe flipped upside down then slid down a bank backwards on the roof. That just doesn't look like a car that has blown up.

dude rolling a car doesnt turn the interior into 100's and 1000's

Nah, look at the back door, its like someone took to it with a can opener. Outer skins blown off the doors surely shows the outwards force.

[wrx_lou]

Yeah those panels have clearly been blown outwards.

Panel skins dont just fall off when you crash.

no burn marks?

[wrx_lou]

Accetylene explosions are more of a shockwave as oposed to a fireball.

Didnt you guys ever make accetylene bombs in metalwork at school lol?

Holy motherf***er ! :o

Literally, look at it lol but i agree, you smell gas as soon as you open the doors, you KNOW theres a acetylene bottle in the truck and you decide to drive it ?? hmmm low on brain cells i think...

On the other hand, very lucky motherf***er and glad he survived that one !!

There was a guy the other week who was syphoning petrol in the dark and couldnt see so he used his lighter as a torch.

Thats a very interesting way of removing the outer steel pannels off the vehicle :

I don't necessarily blame him for moving the car out of the house so the entire house didn't go kaboom, however I wouldn't done it with, you know, the handbrake off and no engine? :

[Joker]

even unlocking it is a risk

Well, if it were locked I wouldn't have unlocked it, but opening a door isn't really *that* much of an issue, surely?

[Old Skool Subbie]

Could be used as an anti theift device lol
