TG850T5R Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I avoided going on Express lanes becuse of the news... no idea it was a 855.... I can tell you that it wasn't Geoffrey's car! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PullMyFinger Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Wasn't me. I'm running RIP fire prevention kit too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I thought the theory behind the RIP kit is in the event of a fire, it will blow the top hose and blow the fire out... I must have missed the memo :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmelviØØ7 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Alright guys I am not going to repost the video link but here is the low down. The owners name is Gary, he is a pretty cool guy from what I have heard. He was headed down the express lanes when some one pulled up next to him and told him his car was on fire. He pulled over and the rest was history. The car was a V70 XC, color: GREEN!!!After watching the video over and over again before I clocked in, my boss calls me into his office to tell me that I am the unfortunate mother fucker who worked on the car last. He waits for my response, which was damn near tears, to tell me that all I did was a software upgrade and a 45k and that it is almost impossible that it was my fault. But in the back of my mind I am still a wee bit scared about the whole thing, at least no one was hurt.And now to reafirm your love for Volvos. Volvo of North America is getting involed. They are sending a couple of guys out here to investigate exactly what happened to this car. This news made me shit my pants, but is good for all of you saftey nuts out there.
