It looked horrific at the time and i was visualization a write off.Close examination after I got home it would seem as if i got off lightly. I will need to lift out engine and strip the engine bay, and have that re painted, also the bonnet. new battery and air filters, re wire etc. Could have been a lot worse. It could have happened on the road miles from any where. I'M STILL ALIVE!
Post pictures tomorrow
Pictures from the fire, not as bad as I thought
