At least in the repair shop he doesn't have to pay for the engine disassembly.

Engine brapped its last brap.

Carbon buildup. It's increasing friction and creates heat spots which causes tension in the motor block, which is a LOT more delicate than a piston motor block. And it creates vibrations. So at one point the case breaks apart. If a broken part goes inward even a little bit, it will hit the very high rpm rotor and violently grenades everything in its trajectory due to the high velocity. As you can see here, below the play button is clearly a part of the case.

Went the way it was meant to way.

Badged as the Mazda Capella in Australia, they were nice cars for the time, very fast, and apparently very explody!

That sounded expensive
AdventurousDonut480
Actually, the stopping of the sound is what's making it expensive.

enough wanking... errrr wankeling

If a rotary, I wonder what broke? Cause failure modes for rotaries are usually just loss of compression. There’s no reciprocating parts to eject themselves.

A rotary?

"Stationary"...

Not anymore

Squarary now

,,, in the past tense ...
AdventurousDonut480
That's indeed tense.
ChoonahFish
Indeed, it was a rotary but it's a stationary now.

"How many rotary engines I used? 3... I mean... 4..." - that guy

I do feel sorry for the owner as it's a nice classic car.

Maybe don't rev the guts out of it, like that, then?
spitfires2000
Rotary engines rev, that's what they do.
AdventurousDonut480
Or don't (anymore).
spitfires2000
Yes, but doesn't just about everything do what it does until it doesn't? ;-)
