[B]Passers-by saw him seemingly slumped over in the driver's seat[/B] on the shoulder of the Ventura freeway, but actually [B]trying to make a phone call, Van Dyke said[/B]. They "yanked me out of the car" before it went up in flames. He said he had not realised the Jaguar was on fire. "It just started making a noise, and I thought I had a flat at first, then it started to smoke, then it burned to a crisp."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23763623[/url] [URL="https://vine.co/v/hOjUae1muaa"]The Aftermath.[/URL]
Holy shit. He's extremely lucky someone happened to be there who knew what to do.
On second thought.. why the fuck did his Jaguar just burst into flames? That seems like it could be a serious technical issue
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;41900156]On second thought.. why the fuck did his Jaguar just burst into flames? That seems like it could be a serious technical issue[/QUOTE] i think they are overlooking that now actually
Just throw on a new coat of paint and an air freshener and it'll be fine.
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;41900156]On second thought.. why the fuck did his [B]Jaguar[/B] just burst into flames? That seems like it could be a [B]serious technical issue[/B][/QUOTE] answered your own question

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;41900156]why the fuck did his Jaguar just burst into flames?[/QUOTE] Probably tried turning on the radio
"He said he had not realised the Jaguar was on fire." That's how you know he's rich. He refers to his car by it's make. Most people would have said car :v:

damn he looks good for 87

hell i go as far to call my car 'the 240' instead of Volvo
I thought he died a while ago, glad to hear I'm wrong.
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;41902375]hell i go as far to call my car 'the 240' instead of Volvo[/QUOTE] 'the pussywagon'
[QUOTE=Shugo;41900065]Holy shit. He's extremely lucky someone happened to be there who knew what to do.[/QUOTE] As in, exit the burning vehicle.

You'd sound like a pretentious asshole if you just referred to it like that. in my own history, I referred to my Saturn SL-2 as 'the Saturn' (same with my dad's newer one a while back that I can't even remember the model), whereas my crappy old toyota camry was 'the Camry', and one can ONLY GUESS what I call my Chevy Sonic

My mom calls her van "Scrap Metal". I can't wait for her to get rid of it. breaking down 200 miles away from home in the middle of winter isn't fun.
