i saw it happen, it looked like the brakes caught on fire, next thing it was the tire, and then it reached the petrol tank and you can imagine the rest
 
  No car
Heartbreaking! The joke of the matter is, the insurance company will still find a way not to pay out 'oh the tires have been modified with extra air so that invalidates your insurance sir'

The brakes caught fire on normal road use?

I'd be crying and rocking backwards & forwards in the fetal position at the side of the road if that was my DB9.

Surely it would take a lot of fierce driving along with not noticing you are perma-braking to set them on fire.

Sometimes you dont notice brakes sticking on, my passenger side stuck on, on sunday on my way to newcastle, when your going along at a steady speed you hardly notice.. I got out and the brake was pretty much glowing.. Had to strip my brakes out on the side of the A69 :eek:

Not really at all. The caliper locked itself shut on my brake disc before on the old M3 and after 1/2 mile driving at 30mph it was glowing red/purpley hot.

Yes that would have put a dampener on my day.

You saw it happen and didn't get pics of it burning?

I knew about mine because it was vibrating like one of those big sex machine things, that and the disc being as red as F1 discs.

No worries, know a few people who have db9's so thought it might be one of theirs.
