nismo Unregistered N	went and had alook at my mate's 300bhp murple coupe today , the garage had only been on fire for 10-15mins before the fire brigade got there and put it out , the car had been off the road for a year and parked in a garage that we thort was safe and this is what we were meet with its a big shame that another coupe has been taken off the road but worst of all its not insured .

Davie Unregistered D	What an utter shame, real case of bad luck. I would have thought that the internals of the engine will probably have survived though.. RIP Murple

Nazo Unregistered N	Hold it for one sec.. is it meant to incinerate like that if it was a light fire? From the pics, it seems the blaze was intense and went on for some time..Hope there was no fuel in the tank otherwise it would have taken out the garage aswell. Its a heart wrenching incident!

Be very careful around anything rubber, for example, door seals, rubber under the bonnet etc. When automotive rubber burns it exudes some very nasty chemicals, very nasty so please be very careful!! Report any skin rash or irritation immediately to your local A&E and tell them what you were dealing with, it might just save your life!
