agree absolutely, and it should come with two portable fire extinguishers affixed to the handle-bars - if not for putting out fires, then at least to have proper balancing
Shoulda bought one with a sunroof
Got burn a booster tank with the car as well? Maybe a pirated copy of Initial D will be nice too.
This proves yet again that cars are far more likely to catch fire compared to UL2272 certified PMDs.

SINGAPORE – A woman linked to the fiery car crash that killed five men in Tanjong Pagar on Feb 13, 2021, faces a dangerous driving charge.
Phoo Yi Lin, 26, had driven the white BMW M4 before alighting from the vehicle.
Mr Jonathan Long Junwei, 29, the owner of the car, then took the wheel.
Mr Long had clocked speeds of up to 182kmh shortly before the car ploughed into the pillar of a shophouse and burst into flames at around 5.40am that day.
Mr Long and his four passengers – Mr Wilson Teo Qi Xiang, 26; Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28; Mr Eugene Yap Zheng Min, 29; and Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29 – were killed in the crash.
According to court documents, Phoo was allegedly driving the car in Tanjong Pagar Road at a speed of 109kmh at around 5.35am that day. The speed limit was 50kmh.
On Thursday, the Malaysian woman applied to leave Singapore but the court rejected her request.
She was charged in early March and is expected to plead guilty on April 3.
During the coroner’s inquiry into the men’s deaths, Traffic Police investigator Muhammad Firdaus Suleiman had said that shortly before the tragedy, Mr Long and his friends were at a Chinese New Year gathering in Ang Mo Kio where they had alcoholic drinks.
They then left for Hong Jja Jang restaurant in Tanjong Pagar Road, where they continued drinking.
The eatery was run by Mr Park Se Jin, whose age was not mentioned in court.
Senior Staff Sergeant Firdaus added that witnesses said Mr Long then showed his new BMW to his friends.
The group took turns at the wheel, each driving once around the Tanjong Pagar area.
Tanjong Pagar crash: Deaths of 5 men in burning car ruled a traffic-related misadventure
Tanjong Pagar crash ruled a misadventure: Who were the 5 killed in the burning car and what happened?
Mr Yap, who was later found to have 119mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, was the first to drive. He drove it from the restaurant towards Keppel, and made a U-turn on Enggor Street.
After that, he drove along Tanjong Pagar Road towards Maxwell Road before stopping near the eatery.
Mr Yap had driven the car at speeds of between 77kmh and 88kmh.
Mr Park then drove at speeds of up to 59kmh while following the same path.
Phoo allegedly took over after that and also followed the same path.
Mr Long was the fourth driver, and four of his friends – Mr Teo, Mr Tan, Mr Yap and Mr Wong – joined him in the vehicle, which had designated seats for only the driver and three passengers.
Mr Long was speeding in Tanjong Pagar Road when the car skidded and mounted a kerb. The car’s airbags did not deploy in the accident, which killed all five men.
Mr Long’s fiancee, former air stewardess Raybe Oh Siew Huey, then 26, tried to help them but was badly burned.
She spent four months in Singapore General Hospital and needed multiple reconstructive surgical operations.
Senior Staff Sgt Firdaus had earlier testified that Mr Long, Mr Yap and Mr Tan died of severe burns.
Mr Teo died of severe burns and a spinal injury, while Mr Wong died of severe burns and pelvic injuries.
Those that died deserved to die. Those that didn't should join those that did.

SINGAPORE - A woman who drove at excessive speeds in Tanjong Pagar, shortly before the car was involved in a fiery crash, has been fined $5,000 and disqualified from driving for three years.
Phoo Yi Lin, 26, admitted on Monday to driving the white BMW M4 in a dangerous manner at around 5.35am on Feb 13, 2021.
She clocked 109kmh along Tanjong Pagar Road. The speed limit was 50kmh.
Minutes later, the owner of the car, Mr Jonathan Long Junwei, took the wheel with four passengers. They all died in the crash.
Hours before the tragedy, the 29-year-old and his friends were at a Chinese New Year gathering in Ang Mo Kio, where they had alcoholic drinks. They then left for Hong Jja Jang restaurant in Tanjong Pagar Road, where they continued drinking. Their friend, Mr Park Se Jin, ran the restaurant.
According to witnesses, Mr Long showed his new BMW to his friends. They then took turns at the wheel, each driving once around the Tanjong Pagar area.
The first in the group to take the car for a spin was Mr Eugene Yap Zheng Min, 29. He drove it from the restaurant towards Keppel, making a U-turn in Enggor Street. After that, he drove along Tanjong Pagar Road towards Maxwell Road before stopping near the eatery. Mr Yap had driven the car at speeds of between 77kmh and 88kmh.
During a 2022 coroner’s inquiry into the fatal crash, the court heard that Mr Yap had 119mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood - the legal limit being 80mg per 100ml.
Mr Park then drove the car at speeds of up to 59kmh while following the same path. Phoo, who is a Malaysian, took over after that and drove the same route. Mr Long was the fourth driver, and four of his friends - Mr Yap, Mr Wilson Teo Qi Xiang, 26, Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28, and Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29 - joined him in the vehicle.
The car had designated seats only for the driver and three passengers.
Mr Long clocked speeds of up to 182kmh before the car ploughed into a shophouse pillar and burst into flames at around 5.40am that day.
The car’s airbags did not deploy in the accident, and all five men were killed. Mr Long’s fiancee, former air stewardess Raybe Oh Siew Huey, then 26, tried to help them but was badly burned. She spent four months in Singapore General Hospital and needed multiple reconstructive surgeries. During the coroner’s inquiry, Traffic Police investigator Muhammad Firdaus Suleiman testified that Mr Long, Mr Yap and Mr Tan died of severe burns. Mr Teo died of severe burns and a spinal injury, while Mr Wong died of severe burns and pelvic injuries.
$5000 fine is a fucking joke.
This would not have happened if the fucktard had bought a real sports sedan like a Subaru WRX or STi. A real car enthusiast knows that the BMW M4 is an overweight pig and handles like one. Being a WRX owner for years now, I can tell you 1) The car does not blow up in flames when it crashes 2) The air bags will deploy 3) there are 2 extra doors at the back that the passengers can escape by instead of being trapped in the back seat of a 2 door and get slowly roasted.
Tanjong Pagar car crash victims’ families settle out of court with driver’s estate

SINGAPORE – The families of three men who died in a car crash in Tanjong Pagar in 2021 have reached an out-of-court settlement with the estate of the driver, Mr Jonathan Long Junwei.
The details of the settlement, however, remain confidential.
The families of Mr Eugene Yap Zheng Min, 29, Mr Teo Qi Xiang, 26, and Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29, had sought to claim a total of about $1.7 million from Mr Long’s estate.
The family of the fourth passenger, Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28, had initiated a claim of about $477,000, but there has been no legal proceeding to date.
Mr Long, 29, was the last person behind the wheel of a white BMW M4 that crashed into a shophouse before it burst into flames, killing all five men in the car.
The State Coroner ruled the five deaths a traffic-related misadventure.
The Straits Times had previously reported that the families had filed their claims with the Singapore courts in November 2022. The three claimants were represented by Mr Goh Choon Wah of Characterist.
Mr Long’s mother, Madam Chan Ngerng Pheng, 58, who is the administrator of his estate, is represented by Mr Nigel Bogaars of Bogaars & Din.
The mediation sessions were held separately and mediated by retired district judge David Lim.
Madam Chan told ST: “The mediations were emotionally challenging, but we’re grateful to our lawyer, who relentlessly pursued peaceful and amicable settlements in a professional manner, and was an invaluable ally throughout this journey.
“He worked tirelessly alongside the families and the mediator to achieve a fair and acceptable resolution for all parties involved.”
Madam Chan added that she is grateful that the families are able to move forward and embark on the process of healing following the settlement.
“We hope that the public will allow all affected parties the space to move forward from this tragedy and to honour the memory of our loved ones,” she said.
The families of the three claimants could not be reached for comment.
The accident, which took place at about 5.40am on Feb 13, 2021, had shocked Singapore, prompting renewed discussions about road safety and the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The vehicle insurer, AXA Singapore, had repudiated liability under the policy for any claims arising from the accident after a coroner’s inquiry showed Mr Long had been driving under the influence of alcohol.
The inquiry revealed that Mr Long had a blood alcohol reading of 86mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. This exceeded the legal limit of 80mg per 100ml.
The coroner’s inquiry also showed that the group of friends had taken turns to drive Mr Long’s newly bought BMW around the Tanjong Pagar area.
They had gone to a friend’s home to celebrate Chinese New Year before proceeding to a Korean restaurant in Tanjong Pagar. All of them had drunk alcohol.
At around 5am, the group left the restaurant to see off one of the friends, who was catching a taxi home.
While they were outside the restaurant, Mr Yap asked Mr Long to let him and another friend, Ms Phoo Yi Lin, test-drive his new sports car.
Mr Yap, who was the first to take the car for a ride early that morning, was later found to have a blood alcohol reading of 119mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
He was joined by two friends, Mr Park Se Jin and Ms Phoo, who also took turns at the wheel.
Mr Long was the fourth driver.
Mr Yap, Mr Teo (whose blood alcohol reading was 162mg), Mr Tan (128mg) and Mr Wong (111mg) joined him in the car even though the vehicle had designated seats for the driver and only three passengers.
Mr Long, who had clocked speeds of up to 182kmh while he was driving the BMW in the area before the crash, was speeding along Tanjong Pagar Road when the car skidded and mounted a kerb.
It struck a pillar at an estimated speed of between 87kmh and 99kmh and burst into flames.
Mr Long’s fiancee – Ms Raybe Oh Siew Huey, then 26 – suffered severe burns when she tried to rescue the people in the car.
In their statement of claims filed in November 2022, relatives of Mr Yap, Mr Teo and Mr Wong accused Mr Long of driving “in such a way that he lost control” of the car before the accident.
They alleged that the crash was caused solely, or contributed, by the negligence of Mr Long.
Madam Chan had denied all allegations and claims.
She said in her defence filed that the deaths of the claimants were contributed by their own negligence in travelling as passengers in the car driven by her son, when they knew or ought to have known that her son had been drinking alcohol in such quantities and to such an extent as to render him unfit to drive the car carefully or safely.
Hes a motherfucker.
REmove him n Indranee
