Did you burn your benz today?

Drove up the M1 today and between junction 4 and 5 a black merc was burning on the hard shoulder ... Lots of flames and a distraught feller on a phone a couple of yards away .

He'd probably changed his oil for petrol to see what would happen.

Yep, onions would have been a much safer option. Difficult to make an onion catch fire.

It was pretty spectacular ! Lots of flames from the rear door , wheels and boot ....

It was north bound. I would have stood a bit further away if I was him @-:
I didn't see which model but it looked pretty new and shiny . What a bummer.

It might have been a W204 C-Class, I seem to remember a couple of threads on here started by an excitable Portugese chap who claimed they pretty much all burst into flames.

edit: here you go.
