bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) as you can, i had a fire in my engine bay this morning. I had just got my car back and took it for a test drive. it looks like the fuel relay f**ked up and away it went. used about 4 fire extinishers and the fire service to put it out. NO PARTS ARE FOR SALE. SO DONT EVEN ASK Edited July 20, 2005 by bumpstop325 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 Oh man, what a sorry sorry sight - when you text me this afternoon I had visions of it being confined to the engine bay - Words cannot describe what it feels like to look at those pictures bro, and I cant even begin to imagine what it was like to standby as your pride and joy went up in smoke! If there is anything I can do to help ya bro, just say the word and I will do what I can - if you can get over towards the Pukekohe way I have plenty of green stuff to help ease the pain. Im assuming you will be re-bodying it since you dont want to be selling parts - again, if you need a hand with it, let us know! Im sure the majority of Bimmersport would be keen to help in any way they can too - after all, having your car go up in flames would be like having a loved one die - hang on, it is having a loved one die - that car was the closest thing to a child you got aint it? - Rememeber when we got you too tozed to drive???? Haha that will be a night I shall always remember Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 insurance is going through the pipeline. after doing some research we have found an clause in my policy that is in my favour. so im alittle happier. to put people at rest. a very special non f/l has been found as a suitable replacement. all will be revealled in time, as a new monster is lurking in the shadows, with a different and new kind of EVIL. when unleashed it will haunt the roads of NZ, as the first monster has done many time before. Thanks guys/girls for your support. the wreck will be bought off the insurance company by me. as i said before, NO PARTS WILL BE FOR SALE for the moment.
