WAAA!!! My favorite Dart dun blown up...

He was romping on it on the street, the engine backfired, blew out the relief plate and blew the blower off the manifold. Thankfully the blower was strapped down and it didn't go flyin'. Lot's of damage though

Oh-alcohol. That's why it burned up so quick huh?

It was a very wicked sounding machine for sure.
