Not trying to influence you in any way of course!! My car is only in for a wee service and to keep it out the snow Good luck mate.

craigdmcd Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Never met you Jimser, but that is gutting to see, especially with it being a special car. Why not hunt down a Spec C Type RA-R?

fai17 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Jimser......i'm here whenever you need a hand for anything. I was behind Jim today in my M3 convertible and Jim never did anything unusual.He was just setting his car for a wee blast then pop and a whole lots of white smoke belch out from his motor. I thought opps that was not good and maybe done a piston in.He pulls over on to the hard shoulder and holy s**** i could see fire underneath his engine bay! As and when the fire man done the deeds of putting the fire out and stuff we were told by the plod to move off the motorway.So off i went to wait for Jimser and Jac and expecting them to meet up and go home or breakfast!! ok i was starving. Then got a call from Jim to say he is on his way to Crail!!!! Then it was to crail i headed for and had a great time with all my good mates. Honestly there is never a dull moment when we go to crail....but this 1 just takes the biscuits. Chin up Jim and buy a classic for a laugh....you still need to beat my time! Edited February 9, 2009 by fai 17
killa Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 gutted for you Jim keep the chin up and come back bigger and better..
arch Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Cant imagine how you must be feeling, not a big issue with a standard car but a car that has so much work done on it is a sickner, as said before at least no-ne was hurt but gutted for you all the same not sure I could take the same approach so soon
coulty Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Mate i am totally gutted for you. I was luckier when mine went on fire on the M8, I got lucky when someone passing chucked me a fire extinguisher. Glad everyone was safe and nobody got hurt. I hope you manage to get good money and get decent new mota from it. Just make sure its another white one. Come on the whites!! Take care mate Stuart

martin_allen Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Shocking pics. good job everyone made it out. I take it we are all insured and things so it will all be replacable (unlike you) Good news, back box looks ok... you could ebay it! 5t.
Spaceman Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Jim got a really good policy so he should be fine.
C_WRX Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Fook sake, totally gutted for you fella. You got out okay so at least there were no human casualties - just a very nice car ! Chin up, you'll get back in to it, and who knows, maybe even something better with your gained experience and knowledge.
