D3 gone to car heaven

So the D3 burnt out around 3am this morning on the way to the channel tunnel.

Sad

Recovery company not interested. Insurers not answering... £100 cab home and pick up the other car...

Censored ....

Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Feel for you. At least it was this side of the tunnel, or not inside it!! Shocked

A real shame ☹️ Not the greatest timing either

No one hurt and we got everything out.

Luckily for us picked up a Lexus last week and fitted roof bars to it so able to regroup re pack and head out - lost maybe 4 hours.

As to the disco. Pretty gutted as it was well modded. Than gosh had not fitted airborne medics rack 😱

Been handier if it had blown up BEFORE I spent £3k refurbishing the gear box.

Damnation. Guess he car shopping again soon Smile

Hopefully insurance pull their finger out

That could be tricky as things like the arb bumper winch etc whilst declared will not affect the offer value. Like most modded and kitted vehicles it was worth more in bits probably..
