Well not a mate really an aquaintance, being a bit of a cheap skate bought a clifford remote start car alarm off ebay to fit to his motor. Being even more tight he contacted a mate of his who is a house electrician to fit it. Unfortunately the guy managed to wire up the remote start to the wrong position (he he sorry I can`t help find this funny as the bloke is an idiot) on the ignition circuit and as a result the engine started and the starter motor kept running, he he sorry!! and caught fire. Moral of the story, don`t be a cheap skate!!!

May I burn in hell!!

The car is only an old shape Astra!

I helped a mate wire his stereo - I watch as he wired live in to his earth - promptly smoke emitted from the dash as it set fire to all the wiring - nice

it is bad of me to laugh. I`m not fantastic with electric but this guy should know a fair bit being and Electrician. Bit like me fitting a hydraulic pump instead of a fuel pump to a jet engine.
