CAUTION!
Do not Fart while siting on the front end of your Commodore, when the engine is on.

Says he went to start it and heard two bangs then smoke and flames came out under the bonnet. It needed the Fire Trucks to put it out.

I'm guessing air filter, might have been a backfire with one of the oiled type.

Won't matter as he didn't have the car insured which I find not a wise move.

Not much external damage to it anyway, nothing a half an hour at the wreckers wouldn't buy your way out of followed by a respray and blend of the nose.

It would be interesting to see under the bonnet.

on the outside it doesn,t look to hard to fix, hopefully no panel warping. but he should at least protect it from rusting.

Did cover the Holden badge with an SS Badge though.

What is it about the Lion that Holden owners find it so necessary to cover up?

I'd cover or replace my badge too if it sported a lame lion in a limp wristed pose. Nothing remotely Australian about a lion, when's the last time you seen an Australian lion in the wild ?

I had to google this, found there is an extinct Australian Marsupial Lion which sounded pretty tough.

The Chev badge is too American and not relevant to an Australian Holden, and the SS badge is very... German

The two lightning bolt SS on the VZ series was remarkably German, and it was very ironic seeing them on HWP cars at the time, whom I regarded in the same light as the Gestapo of old..
