POS Random Short Out Causing Fire!!

[Grechie]

ai guys

im gettting REALLLLY sick and tired of my car, REAL TIRED...

ok, all is fine, perfect, a friends running low on oil , f/e he checks it, hes down heaps, no dramas, he goes down n buys some top up oil from the servo, no biggie, as were ready to leave, i jump in mine, (no problems) drive out to the drive way, take the driveway REAL slow coz we put ultras in and my GT bumper is 82mm from the ground (we measured it)...

next thing u no im taking the driveway and car turns off and headlights turn off everythign turns off, ripp the handbrake up mate gets out and says theres smoke comin from the bonnet, i pop the bonnet open it, and b4 i opened it smoke was POARING out from everywere, open the bonnet and damn smokes poaring EVERYWERE, and i see a fire glowing on the battery, friend runs to get a fire extingusher, but fire puts its self out and its jsut smoking, ...

now after the smoke dissaprears we asses the damage, somethign shorted or some crap and all i know is the red wire going to the starter motor is Cooked, it eventually got really hot and melted?, the battery then caused a short circuit and fried and caused a little fire, and the lead that goes to the engine mount or woteva is also cooked, couldnt see much else but some weird crap has happenend and it could only happen to me in this bloody thing.

in the moarning gonan check it out proply, hope theres no more damage, or nething, atm its under the car port bonnet up with everythin unplugged from the battery (well cooked and sittting away from the battery etc)

damn, was a good friday night at one stage...
