That must have made the traffic a whole lot less fun.

Note to self: do not cut off qwwrty when he's riding his flame-throwing bicycle.

I bet it was an electrical fire. Those old luxury cars have issues when things decay and get corroded, and there are so many power-hungry accessories. It usually starts in the engine compartment, too. Then all the old encrusted oil goes up, presuming it wasn't well-maintained.
