I actually went on vacation to San Diego last week, and while I was there, I made a little visit to SFR, great guys. I met TurboTim, and a few other guys (didn't catch their names). Great guys, very nice. Tim gave me a little look around, and showed me some of the cars there, including a widebody BMW!! Thanks again Tim, hopefully I'll be stopping by again, soon, this time to purchase your kit...

Oh yeah I remember reading about that one.
The guy left the bottle warmer on, while went inside the house to take a nap.
The thermostat did not work right, and so didn't the releave valve (which is supposed to pop at 3500 psi). The bottle got very hot and pressure went up so high that it ripped the bottle apart along with the car and half of the house.
Good thing no one got killed.

Was this ever on TV. We have a new series of Bull Run on Speed and these cars aren't on it.
Edit: My mistake, this was the Great American Run. Not Bull Run. It looks like they are organizing a 2009 version.
