A f***ing car was f***ing blown up(!) in Manners Mall at about 8.30pm on Sunday after a rag sticking out of the fuel tank was deliberately lit. Here's a pic by Andy Gibson:
torched car, manners mall

Any one got anymore info on this?

There's a little more info and one more pic from Andy on the wellingtonnz LJ group, see http://community.livejournal.com/wellingtonnz/503778.html

Dude, it says 'no parking'. WCC has stopped messing around.

BY jingo, it's war out there people, quick move to the suburbs!!!

The sign above the explosion says 'Havoc' (hair salon). Nice.

That damn Mikey Havoc! STAY OUT OF OUR CITY! Noone cares if you and Waverly are getting sprogged up! Keep your attention-seeking stunts safely in the 09 please!

According to the DomPost

a man was arrested and charged with arson..

WTF did he stick around for??? To watch?

Surely if you were going to blow up a car, you'd want to see it happen, wouldn't you?

Last night I ran into a friend who'd been there at the time. She said the guy stuck around, bragged that he'd done it and then was surprised when police arrested him.

Andy the photographer sez in the Wellington LJ post:

His mood I remember clearly however; he was having the time of his life, enrapt with the results of his actions - either oblivious to consequence or entirely comfortable with what the consequences may be.

Yes, though I think I'd try to find somewhere discrete whence I would not be extricated and arrested.

I smell P....

At risk of sounding like an insensitive git, best molotov cocktail EVER. Aside from the fact that it's pretty hard to throw.

Looks like Grand Theft Auto came to Wellington.
