SebringRS Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Hi guys, just wondered if any of you heard bout a mk1 Mexico on fire on the M40 , i didn't see it but my m8 said it looked very bad, acordin to my m8 it was a orange mex. Just wanted to know if anyone knew if the family were alright? Gutted for whoeva it was
tim Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 it was a freshly finished cossy powered mk1 from the derby area so ive read else where
Conor Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 On the M40? Sure? I passed one on the M1 just above Northampton being loaded onto a wrecker. Bubble arched orange one with the passenger compartment burnt out and the roof paint burned off. All passengers were stood at the side of the road and the owner, I assume, squatted down with his head in his hands. Felt gutted for the bloke. Said to the missus that it's not like the Mondildo I was driving where you get a cheque off the insurance company and just go get another.
Yeomans22 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 i saw that it was toast, people were standing next to it so don't think anyone was hurt. not much left im afraid.
LEONMEX Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 not good,feel for the bloke. How many of you carry a fire extinguisher with you?

Admin Vista Posted May 31, 2009 Admin Report Posted May 31, 2009 not good,feel for the bloke. How many of you carry a fire extinguisher with you? allways have since my second car went up when i was 17, im 35 now. also watched a guy run around like a headless chicken whilst his jelly mould went up on the way to a show...... out of over 10 cars that stopped no one had one untill i got there but it was too late i couldnt be without at least one now. Likewise, I have two in the car but am probably going to go for a fixed system on project van. Anyone know the owner and able to get info on what set it off? Gutted isn't a strong enough word!
tim Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 from what ive read else where from people that know the owner it looks like the fire was under the dash,the pics ive posted it looks like the car has a fire eater system in the engine bay
SebringRS Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Posted May 31, 2009 Damn, thts a real shame, lookd a beast of a car
