Luton airport car park fire - started in an ICE car

[MooseMiller]

Well, to be fair, if it was a 2014 RR then the owner had nearly ten years of probably intermittent use of the vehicle before it exploded, destroyed an entire multi-story car park, and took an international airport out of commission. Overall it’s a mixed bag and not all negative.

Yep, apart from that he probably had quite an uneventful day

Haha.

In 2014 the car didn’t explode.
In 2015 the car didn’t explode.
In 2016 the car didn’t explode.
In 2017 the car didn’t explode.
In 2018 the car didn’t explode.
In 2019 the car didn’t explode.
In 2020 the car didn’t explode.
In 2021 the car didn’t explode.
In 2022 the car didn’t explode.
In 2023 the car exploded, once.

What’s all the fuss?

Great minds think alike, POD parking Heathrow appears to be popular with Macan drivers, another three just out of shot. Came back with the Volcano Grey parked in front, I guess they felt safe next to another Porsche?

And luckily the volcano grey one is shielding your car from the Range Rover in front, which may explode any minute.

Hearing more rumours that the dimwitted RRS owner actually drove into the car park with the car already alight, thinking it would be quicker if he abandoned the car by the walkway to the terminal to run in to find a fire extinguisher.........(as he was later for his flight)

This may explain the rather unusual arrest for criminal damage that was reported in the press last week.

The whole thing screams of a coverup. Bit like the boat that caught fire. Early reports say EV to blame. Later authorities say no, it was an ICE vehicle.

Two major fires and fast burning EV’s not to blame. So, keep on buying them folks.

The early reports of EV being responsible for the Luton fire were down to our largely stupid and ignorant press............who are too quick to regurgitate dim witted social media as 'facts' so as to be 'first' with their reporting.

Or they just say it was an ICE vehicle so it doesn’t put people off buying Electric cars. Happy in the knowledge people only believe what the telly tells them to believe.
