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.

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.

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

[scooby222]

devastated for you mate,cant imagine how gutted you are right now! but at least everyones ok and theres the chance for something new

[p1ggm]

gutted for you, such a cool car, cant even begin to think how bad watching that must have been

[Scoobtastic]

[oobster]

Ditto.

[Joe G]

Gutted for you mate!! Must have been sickening knowing there was nothing you could do but watch! Sorry sight to see!

[StewartyBoy]

Im speechless. I'm really sorry to see that, I watched my valver Megane go up in flames in a petrol station in Irvine, around 3 years ago. Its such a sick feeling knowing you can do nowt.

Get back on the horse...
