im alright thanks and just one of lifes little problems but just such a shame

i still cant come to grips with what has actually happened... the look on Lees face when he saw it, just sort of shows that the people that have worked on it must get so attached to the car and just feel devastated, thanks again for coming out, i needed to see a friendly face as aposed to some imature people that feel the need to comment as they drive past

there is literally nothing left of the car, the chassis has physically melted! all i got left is a front tow eye and a rear vauxhall badge, so am excepting offers over 18k for them

oh and a few blobs off chasis, where it has turned to liquid and then cooled down!

Hey Dude still Gutted Mate cant believe it rearly Me and you are getting very pissed next weekend thats all i can say and plan out what you are going to get with the insurance money vx220 Harrop i will help in every way i can

[mandarinvx]

[robin]

good god! that is not a nice thing to see to such a great car. main thing is that your in one peice and its not been a crash just hope your insurance see you right. would you say this was a 'thermal incident'?

[VX-GT]

A better pheonix will rise from the ashes good luck with any future project was the car parked and then you were subject to handbrake cable melt or was the car sick in some way prior to the incident

[theolodian]

Holy ^&%(**($£!!! If there was an exploding head smiley I would be using that right now! Really sorry about that. Maybe grab rcvaughan's?

[Darcini]

So any ideas what caused the horrendous result? You must be gutted

[jules_s]

So sorry to see that

[Paulo]

Really sorry to see this. I was only saying how mint it was at Silverstone. Main thing is your safe and I look forward to the project. Lighter, better, quicker......easy to say but I know you will enjoy the new chapter.

[The Batman]

Thanks alot guys, not sure what the next chapter has for me I won't be commenting on anything until the insurance has paid me etc

[savvy]

Joe, so sorry to see this. That car was a reflection of what time, love and dedication can do to a car. Really feel for you mate.

[TheRealVXed]

That is truly awful. I am so sorry to see this. I can imagine how you feel. I know I would be absolutly gutted. Some people may say it's only a car but it's so different when you have put all the time and effort (and funds) into it you have. Hope everything gets sorted quickly on the insurance for you. Take care Robin

[alanoo]

Omg, so sad... a perfect vocky'd car

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Dude, I know we spoke earlier but I feel the need to comment too after getting home and seeing that awful pic!

That car was awesome true; but only because of YOU! You did that and as daunting as it sounds right now you can do it all again. I'm sure you'll enjoy a new project as you'd run out of things to do to the last one!

If you need anything just ask!

Chin up Bro x

[MAXR]

.....Holy Smoke & Bugger! ....You're thankfully safe & remember it's only metal & plastic. I just hope you have the energy to do it all again! So Sorry mate, it was IMO one of the best looking & most sorted VX's anywhere!

[Ouchie]

OMFG! That is not what I was expecting. So very gutted for you and your loss. community spirit is strong here, but you know that already

[theotherjonnymac]

Very sorry to see the state of it. I hope you get a fair pay out on the Insurance then you can decide what to get next.

[spuk87]

Holy sh*t! Did not expect to log on and see that . At least you're ok mate and I'm sure give it a few weeks, maybe months, who knows how much fun you might be having building Kerry mk2 which will no doubt be even better.
