: : this afternoon my VE suffered a catastrophic failure in the line of duty. : : cruising at 80mph then metallic tapping and small "explosion" and plume of white smoke. 4 seconds later a bigger bang and a cloud of black smoke, everywhere. : : preliminary inspection shows that the #1 or 3 cylinder or rod went through the block. : : she's gone. whats really odd is that i have 2 other cars (one a vq 5sp) and i'm fairly upset obout it. : : my brother was driving at the time this happened but he said that she went out Formula 1 blow-up style. : : uncle pete, you could appreciate his exact words. " she went like Williams on a bad day. : :
: u sure your bro didn't miss a shift or something?...sounds very strange how it would blow like that.
