I thought the same thing, and then I thought maybe it's the extreme heat of the gas tank letting the rest of the fuel out, and heating that part of the metal up way hotter than the rest, and it cooling un evenly...

The car was mint when it went to the shop, no dents scrathes of any kind. The heat from the fire and whatever fell from the roof caused all that damage. The other cars were the same way.

What a heart breaker. I hope you do find yourself another FD. To the rest of you with losses I hope the same. Good luck.

In that second set of photos, the little hatchback...that WAS my '94 Suzuki Swift GT.....sad, very sad. Lots of stock GTUs parts too.

Cars aside, remember to keep Seth in your prayers in the ongoing months of insurance and personal rebuilding......lives are more important than cars...did I just say that? hehe

Guys just talked to my insurance company they said they will go ahead and file it as "total loss" (pretty obvious)without even going out there because of the photos and the fact that Seth did let them know my car was there. Also, since the fire department is still involved no one can look at the cars anyway. I am going to call Seth today, hope he is doing better.

I think a very nice wide body RX3 "Gatoraid" race replica went up in smoke as well... Real shame all those mint cars have gone.

If any one is talking to Seth, please pass on my regards (Tony from New Zealand) - I had a bit to do with Seth a couple of years ago.

I'll confirm that, it was real nice in progress rx-3. It came a long way from where it started.
