As far as we know it's natural, but there's huge danger of forest fires since people are bringing out the barbeque.

20 year old driver drove a bit too fast and ended up on the edge of the ravine...

It isn't. According to the local police the car really was teetering on the cliffedge. The ravine isn't too deep, though; we're only talking about 5 metres, which is enough to be dangerous, I suppose... but from this angle it sort of looks like the car is inches aways from a two-mile drop.

Dude, that's not an Audi! It's a freakin' Wolkswagen (honestly, some people...) :tongue:

Nobody knows what happened, other than that the thing caught fire at about nine o'clock this morning. The driver had just fuelled up, and that contributed to the size of the fire.

Nope. First of all, the A3 is too small; that's at least an Avant-size car. If we have a look at the Avant, then, you'll notice the rounded curves, and particularly the square lights:

Whereas the Passat is more box-shaped in its construction and also has round lights:

There's also the badge. That's not an Audi badge. It just isn't.

But for me, it'll always be an Audi. *stomping on the ground like a stubborn little panda* :tongue: I wondered if it was a Variant, but couldn't tell for sure. Image

Bu-but, but the truck was a Scania! :baby:

Changing subjects, I'd like showing this pic of Mars. Always something beautiful, not yet strange of a place where they think it could have been a river (as many other places they speculated before).
