That really sucks man. Good luck.
This makes me worry about my AP1 now.

 

Oh, no !!!

Only thing I can say positive it start planning for the replacement.

To bad we'll never know the exact reason for why this happen. Driven hard, then something started to leak, and finally caught on fire when he stopped.

 

Cars can be replaced. Your dad can not. Glad to hear he's fine.

 

damn.. that sucks!
very lucky you didnt put that turbo in yet though.

as for the HT, it doesnt take a lot for aluminium to melt and that looks like it was a pretty hot fire.


at least you have a excuse to buy another ;-)

 

Just curious, did you have one of those oversized oil filters I've read about coming loose and spilling oil on the manifold? I can see a oil fire turning into a gas fire...

 

three cheers for insurance! Wonder if i should light up my AP1, id really like those CF synchros on the AP2

 

really is.. hope everything works out for you.

 

sorry to hear that man, insurance will handle it. only if your dad put your hardtop in the garage to go topdown ):

 

the fact that you have a fire extinguisher in your trunk. damn..granted it didn't save the car, but now I think I should put one in mine just in case.
