J.O.U.R.N.A.L wrote:Trabant fire caused by oil leak in second engine: report
Following the fire that Cillit Bang Trabant suffered in yesterday's endurance race, an investigation has been launched. Current investigations reveal that an oil has leaked into the fuel. Additionally, it was reported that the second engine malfunction was allegedy caused because the second engine stopped to drive the rear wheel properly (the Trabant is front-wheel drive, meaning that the primary engine drove the front wheels) by it's final moment, causing instabillity. The investigation is continuing.
In a related case, a fire has also broke in Gillet Ecurie Nationale Belge minutes after the podium ceremony of the yesterday's endurance race. Again this is under investigation.
Gillet ENB garage fire caused by chip pan
The Belgians know how to celebrate a victory. Fine lambic beer was involved, as was a large amount of chips. Unfortunately, the team decided to fry so many chips at once that one of their chip pans (Belgian chips require two pans of oil at different temperatures, remember...) caught fire when a large batch of chips caused the oil to splatter onto the gas flame underneath. With the fire dealt with swiftly, no human casualties were reported, but 3 kg of chips were said to have been incinerated beyond human consumption. A funeral will be held for the lost chips in Verviers this morning, before the Charlie Cox Cup is paraded round the streets in an open-top Land Rover.
