A guy i work with,his Mk3 Golf Gti caught fire a few weeks ago while he was driving it.And it was from the back.
Was driving home at night and seen the reflection in the hedges and looked over his shoulder and seen it was up in flames,tried to brake but the lines must have melted so he had to jump out while it was moving.Said its the scariest thing thats ever happened to him.
Had to watch his car burn as he had nothing to put it out with and had to wait on the fire brigade.
