The good old outback B&S ball.

Always brings out the idiot in aussies.
This particular one is not a bad effort at all. Mates stir you up to do some donuts in the paddock in your flash new ute. You oblige willingly, and do enough circlework to save the farmer even ploughing that paddock next season. After all that hard work, its time to park up and head back tp the beer tent for a cold one.

It is unfortunate for this guy though, as he has obviously under-estimated just how hot his exhaust is.... And how dry the long grass is.... And the odd 30kt winds blowing...

Most expensive beer ever.

Even got the typical aussie " maaate, she's gunna go bang.."..and right on cue "BANG!". My personal favourite moment is at an early stage, the camera operator goes for a walk, and its suddenly apparent that he must be wearing bamboo wind chimes as clothes coz thats what it sounds like.
Its amazing how quick something like this happens. I'd say about 3-4min mark and its real close to write off already.......9-10min mark = Climax .

Why didn't they push it back sooner? My first thought was push the thing back! Even if it torched more grass, just roll the thing away. Keep rolling it. **** even restart it and drive it to a road.

Just so everybody knows, cataclysmic converters don't work unless they are reeeeally hot, so they're made to run reeeeally hot. That's why they have heat shields around them. Heat shields don't stop grass seeds and grass lint getting up next to the hot parts.
Don't even drive across a high grass paddock slowly in summer because there's a very good chance you will light a fire. The grass collects up in the shield and lights up later on when things heat up.
Also, if you pull off the highway after flogging along at 100km/hr plus, don't pull over onto long grass for the same reason.

Which goes to say, "If you want to avoid a cataclysmic event you should have a catalytic converter fitted to your car. If the cops find you without one they can fine you $10,000 and that would be a cataclysmic event."
