Gutted!!

[Turbo]

My bro and fellow TT forum member, Ironside, had a pretty tough day today.
After spending a huge amount of time and money converting a standard Elise to a Civic Type R powered weapon, he had the whole thing go up in flames, literally...
Just one week after it's completion!!

It's hard to tell what actually happened as there's really nothing left to look at but he was tantalisingly close to rescuing it with the on-board fire extinguisher.
Unfortunately it ran out before the flames were under control and all he could do was watch it go up from the other side of the road.

Gut wrenching for anybody that's spent any time working on their own machinery, totally gutted for him!!

Man that sucks big time! That S1 looked epic! Hope everyone is ok.

Oh that's reaally sad... hope you guys were insured at least but I'm guessing even then it wouldn't come close to covering what it cost you let alone the heartache

ahhh that sucks so bad. It must of been an amazing drive with the Honda powerplant.

Heartbreaking. That's a sad sight.

Thanks guys, I'll pass it along. Happily ALL the mods had been declared and he was fully insured. Clever boy!
