The Sweetest SC Cab - RIP MAY 5, 2006

Hey all,

Just thought I would share the last pic of my beloved beauty.

There was a fire in my garage last night and the garage and car were lost.

It is so hard losing your most prized possession, i truly loved that car.

Everytime i go to the yard and see and smell all i want to do is

The investigator from my insurance company and fire department are theorizing that the fire may have started as a result of the use of the trickle charger I was using to charge my battery as my car was parked all winter.

They are still investigating and I should know soon.

So i bid farewell to IMHO the sweetest non-M cab, may she RIP, I will miss her.

Omes.

OMG , so sorry to see this happen to you and your beautiful car. I enjoyed seeing your car evolve the last couple years, such a shame. Hopefully your insurance will cover your loss to the fullest. The important thing is no one was hurt.

Good luck with insurance, a new car, new garage, etc. This may quite possibly be one of the saddest car-related things I've ever seen.

Oh man, that's so sad to see. I wish you the best of luck getting money back and maybe starting all over again with an even more pimp base car this time?

The front of the car does not look that bad I think most of the ash and smoke will buff right off.

But really, sorry for your loss I have learned alot from your FI threads back in the day. Will you do another BMW project?
