SINGAPORE: A red Ferrari went up in flames near Teban Gardens Road on Wednesday.

A Channel NewsAsia viewer was having his lunch at a coffee shop in the vicinity when he heard an explosion.

According to the viewer, the red Ferrari had stopped in front of block 54 Teban Gardens Road, along Penjuru Road. 

The Chinese male driver had gotten out of the car before the explosion. 

The driver did not appear to have been injured. 

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived five minutes later and put out the fire. 

SCDF confirmed that there were no reported injuries and that no other vehicle was involved in the incident.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Petrol leaking....

Ferrari has had fuel line problems for some time now. fuel line or joints crack and leak a small amount of fuel, which causes fire. this fire leads to an explosion. that's why drivers are generally able to spot fire in the engine bay, and get out of the car before it explodes.

 

for the early 458, there was a sealant glue that was flammable, leading to the heat causing the glue to ignite and burn.

PIE towards jurong saw a bus on fire. So many kpo slow down to bio.

[Epong]

Witnessed an accident aftermath near NOL Alexandra on lane 1 and 2. I was on lane 1 and needed to filter out to Lane 3. The lorry on my left was not moving cos the driver was busy taking photos. Stomping or 4D I don't know but obviously not bothered by the long line behind.

will insurance be sufficient to cover 50% down payment for the next horse?

[Ricebandit]

Depends on what 360's are worth! They must all be pushing 10 years old or more now.. what would the insurance company value them at?
