599 GTB Fiorano Caught Fire, Not a Fun Call to the Boss

Martin, 43, was asked to take Romans International’s 599 GTB Fiorano to the shop. On the way there while pulling up to a stop light the car “made a noise” and then poof! up in flames. The blaze was quickly brought under control and extinguished by the local fire department. But it wasn’t over for Martin, he still had to make a phone call to Paul, the owner of the car.

“He rang me and said, ‘Your car’s just gone up in flames’. At first I hoped he was joking, but I soon realised he was serious. I asked him why it had happened and he said he had no idea. Martin’s worked here since he was 15 and he’s a great guy. It’s obviously not his fault – so I’m not going to hold it against him.”
