Ferrari F430 on fire

This happened in the Philippines. The owner was enjoying a club run running at a relatively slow pace and all of sudden the engine compartment caught on fire.

lesson...always carry a fire extinguisher when driving a Ferrari F430.

Especially the part about the convoy of F-X50's and Escalades that slowly drove by clapping as it burned!

I am glad that no one got hurt. allegedly, a team from Ferrari is flying over to investigate. I guess its not the first time an F430 burned to the ground.
