brisbanetimes.com.au Date August 27, 2012 - 9:01AM A classic of Australian motoring met a fiery end yesterday as a vintage Holden Kingswood caught fire on the Ipswich Motorway at Goodna. Weekend motorists watched the blaze that caused police to block off two lanes of the motorway. Camira firefighters attended the fire but were unable to establish its cause. Firefighters said the driver had noticed smoke coming out near the gear lever and pulled over, getting his family out of the vehicle before it went up in flames. Advertisement No one was reported injured by the fire, but paramedics attended the incident. Read more at the Queensland Times (includes video). http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/quee...827-24v4v.html

So the Kingswood caught fire somewhere near Camira?? Isnt it usually a Camira that catches fire, usually because somebody lit it with a match?
Seriously though it looks like somebody lost their pride and joy, it definitely looks restored/done up. Luckily nobody was hurt.

It would be sad to have to watch your pride and joy go out like that.....

Always carry a fire ext just in case!
Sad to see a classic (no matter what brand) go up in flames like that.
