That is disgraceful, must have been quite a hot fire to melt the alloys and the rockercover.

I love the 4 exhausts too :cool:
It's the first thing I looked for to identify the burnt out hulk as being the same car :cry:

Cock suckers, if itturns out it was stolen and burnt out I'll be mega pi55ed off. Could have just been an engine fire or crash etc...

That must of been one VERY hot fire - it burnt everything - kinda unusual for a car fire...or any fire...to burn absolutely everything...

Maybe it was a 'done on purpose' fire? Just looks to 'good' a job for me... but hey I am suspicious by nature... smells like money is involved somewhere...

Man that just makes my blood boil, I feel for the poor person who owned that beauty, I certainly know how I would feel if my car ended up in that state for what ever reason.

It looked awesome with those alloys and tail lights....what a shame.

That would explain the crazy heat needed to cause that much engine damage. Thats a sad sight.

I thought it might have been Nitrous, it looked bad enough in the engine bay to be that intense :roll:
Looked like a very nice motor, shame! :(
I reckon that was an S52 in there, bet it was quick :o
