starts with footage of the mrs and junior before the fire

the commentary is a bit strange (from me) but i don't have any sort of video editing software available to me to sort it

anyone got any after the fire pics?
does anyone know how it got back home?
does anyone know the driver?
etc?

 

also, the quality is a bit poo, but i've got much better on the pc is anyone wants to host 251mb of it

 

shame

 

pictures of it after though showed the car was still intact and no major damage was done by the looks of it. Engine can be repaired, but if the shell was destroyed then .

 

must have had a built in exstinguisher in teh bay and the fire when out instantly when he realised there was a fire, and used the hand held as a extra safety measure.

or did the gravel put it out upon second viewing.

 

We were having a good look at this earlier when it was parked among the trade stands...
It stunk of fuel inside, but thats probably just normal...

Shame

 

wounder

 

fucking hell thats not good. i know exactly how he feels though!

 

o dear

 

not good

 

there is still fire starting up when the marshall starts to put it out so it could have been anything

don't know what caused it, but if he posts here, we'll soon find out

 

Wounder. Saw the car come off on a low loader.

 

thats the worst thing that could ever happen to a car or person like that

 

 

Think that's "Gary's" car........from Portsmouth.

 

Tis indeed Garys, thankfully all was sorted and put out before it really caught fire


Could have been serious

 

That's Good News

 

not nice

 

it sucks, but that's the chance you take everytime you take a vintage car like that out on the track.

 

Is it a real btcc car or just a rep?

 

Matt its a rep, Ray Anslows old car which was in fast ford with my dads and steves...

Wish ray still had it though

 

Its a Rep

Martin Johson owns the real Labbatts car

 

lucky bloke really.

everyne please carry fire extinguishers in your cars,proper sized ones too.

 

ditto,


get a fire exting' in your car, you never know!

should work not i've tided the computer up a bit

 

i remember my mates bmw went on fire & we had absolutly nothing to put it out, its the worst fealing in the world just sitting there watching it burn to death

 

not nice to see

good reason to wear race suit even for track days

gary will fix it no problem

so no taking the piss when i have my race suit on for track at national day

 

Just what i thought so many spares lol

 

U taking the Merc again?

 

did cring when it went past on the loader! we werent that close and people were sayin it had been stuffed, was glad to see it hadent althought fires stil not good!

u were just in the right spot to film it man

 

no sold the merc to someone in denmark a few weeks back

bought something else

ford falcon v8

pick it up in a couple of days so national day will be a good test

 

I always carry a fire extinguisher in my car now. Unfortunatly, i learnt the hard way...

 

From what year is that Falcon, an ex V8 Supercar?

 

i had a look after this happened and it seemed to be around the turbo area, oil i expect, the fire up the side after he stopped was the plastic sideskirt burning

the k+n had a masive hole burnt in it

 

Here ya go - chatted to Gary afterwards and he was pretty OK about it - obviously he has got work to do but he is in the right business aint he





What the pics dont show is that all the graphics are full of tiny bubbles etc from the heat... and yes it was the arch on fire

 

I remember doing national day in 2004 when Disco borrowed it from gary for the day, the fookin things an animal (and the cars quite quick too)

 

Anyone seen these yet ?

 

Bloody hell looks real bad in the pics!! Gary will have it sorted in no time
