In another clip, he said: “Mate imagine my nephew was still with me wow.” Danny recounted the scary ordeal in a video after worried messages, recounting: “I was just driving about 30mph and then next minute the car changed gear and the back end was just on fire. I pulled over, ran to the fire extinguisher”, reports the Mirror. He went on: “As I’m putting the fire extinguisher, the car exploded in my face and basically I just had to sit and watch my dream car just burn to the ground and everyone just sat there and watched it. Pretty sad, but… Obviously, it’s a set back. I’m trying to switch it into a positive. I’m trying to see the positive in it but I’m not quite sure what that is yet. But it’s happened for a reason but I don’t know why as yet.” He captioned the video, which he shared on Instagram with: “What happened to my car…. (Hope this answers the DMs).”
