W88CHY Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Gut wrenching pics there!! I know it's probably the last thing on your mind, but any idea of the cause?
neill54 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 really really gutted for you mate it just makes you think how easy these things happen i have a small extinguisher in the car but i dont think it would have made a blind bit of difference to that kind of blaze sorry again mate neil
kebab nemesis Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 You must be devestated, I found the pictures shocking, glad nobody was injured. Hopefully you will find another project to keep you in the scooby fold, a loss of a stunning car.

uRaBu5 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Devastated for you Jim! Glad all involved are ok. Must have been one of the worst things ever to watch, unable to do anything after all the time and effort that went into the bomber. Sad end to a fantastic machine. So sorry to read and see. Derek
jimser Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 So sorry mate Gutted for you cheers for all the replies folks not sure what started the fire and never will unfortunately.car was running fine,overboosting to 1.95bar but thats nothing excessive.felt like it had fuel cut or similar and then an almighty bang,no power and a big puff of white smoke stopped the car,first thought was oh well there goes the block,i'll get it towed home and plan the next stage. saw the amount of smoke still coming out the engine bay,jumped out the car and went to open the bonnet but the fire was well under way.too late,greig phoned the fire dudes and ahem 30mins later they turned to put out the fire by which time as you can imagine it was totally fecked. not sure what i'll do next,the spec c is a hard act to follow
