A very, very bad day
 

Yesterday afternoon my pride and joy was totally destroyed by fire. After months upon moths of collecting parts, having brackets powder coated, fitting stainless steel bolts everywhere, brand new turbo, full de-cat, Blitz exhaust, all new hoses etc etc....Was the day of final completion as i was having it re-mapped, it went up in flames. Was pretty frightening as we only just got out in time. (sorry Scott for ruining your day!) So at the moment i am completely numb, hasn't quite sunk in yet i don't think, but glad that we were all alright!

Here are some quite nasty pictures of what she looks like now and whilst she was on fire.

'EDITTED TO MOVE PICS'

Not good buddy:doubledown:, glad you got out all in one piece and our thoughts are with you mate, any idea what started it?

A very very bad day
 

A braided fuel line burst spraying fuel out through the mesh of the hose. Unfortunatly my fire extinguisher wasn't big enough.

damn i feel :vom: for you mate , but im glad yuou are all ok though

thats just awful news, feels like someone died I bet!:sos::sos:

Jesus, thats aweful mate. At least you and scott where ok.

bloody hell :-o

such a shame, seen this car around and it looked great :(

Truly gutted for you mate. Words can't really say it.

I can not believe this :sad::sad::sad:

Well what can I say, you have my deepest sympathy. :cry:


Glad you both got out.

Glad you got out, I feel for you..

Hope you find another soon..

Its a car and can be replaced you two can't. :sadno:
Good to hear you are both safe :doubleup:

Hi Martyn,
Well I hope you can put this day behind you, and start to think about more positive things soon.
I know it's hard and I know I have been having moments of staring into space since yesterday. Talking about it and sharing it should help settle things.

It was a big shock to all involved and does make you stop and think how easy these things can happen.

Don't worry about ruining my day, what I lost was peanuts compared to your pride and joy.

Feel for you mate

At least you are both ok.
As others have said, the car can be replaced

good to hear there was no casualties and what scary stuff, chin up guys!:doubleup:

don't know what to say mate you must be devistated :doubledown: but at least know one was hurt, at the end of the day you can allways make a start on another project to replace it but you cant replace a human life

Truly gutted for you.
Thank god you are both ok.

Hi Mate,as I said on SS,what a bummer.I was on this same section of road last week with Scott so that really brings it home.As everyone says at least your both safe.Once again if you want to get to a meet,event and we are going PM me and I'll pick you up.
Large Brandy me thinks.

:cry: NOOOOO, Martyn I bet your gutted matey, at least nobody was hurt

Bloody hell thats not good, but as already said its a piece of metal and what you and Scott have lost can be replaced, the main thing is is that you both got out ok.

Thats the important thing:agreed:

Can't add anything that hasnt already been said! Just hope you get things sorted with insurance without any delay and that you get back into a scoob as soon as possible.

omg...... :( glad you both ok :) but also gutted for you.... :(

very sad
 

OMG you must feel gutted,i know i would,but thankfully nobody was hurt, look to brighter things babe,maybe get another 1 soon..

Glad you are okay. So sad about the car! Good luck for the future !!
