Suprash Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not sure if this has been posted, I searched but couldnt find anything, but the Japan Auto (Norwegian jap-importer) storage was left in ruins after a fire last night with a lot of Supra's, Skylines and whatnot inside worth several million NOK, the Top Secret GT-300 Supra was rescued at the last minute when its roof was on fire. http://fbimg.no.publicus.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Avis=FB&Dato=20081018&Kategori=NYHET&Lopenr=547559202&Ref=AR&Profile=1220&MaxW=468&NoBorder 2 Supra's have been listed as total wrecks so far, the full thread can be found here: http://www.driftworks.com/forum/media-section/68529-japan-auto-ruins-after-fire.html But a few pics, spot the Supra shells...... This is the Top Secret Supra http://japanauto.no/News%20Undersider/div%20bilder/1%20TS%20Supra%20Extreme.fi.jpg Which was very lucky and only sustained this damage..... Other cars and Supra's werent so lucky....... http://japanauto.no/images/Brann%20p%C3%A5%20Torp.jpg This has been investigated and its arson..... Probably started in this corner: Under the ashes rests a Sorarer and a Supra. In the back under the roof rests an R33. All these are crisps. Parts storage, and in the door opening there a GT-R R32 - everything crisped. Euro Spec Supra can be seen here, crisp. Hopefully this has only sustained minor body damage. One of the salvagable cars. The Supra doesn't look all healthy, you can barely see the fire damage on the roof. http://kjeltring.no/pre/japan/F35T2455.jpg One is still alive....... http://kjeltring.no/pre/japan/F35T2472.jpg Pictures from main cleanup today... we managed to salvage the Kaira Skyline, the Auto-Sign R33 and a Figaro... The half-burned S14 still has a working engine, and a lot of tools and other stuff was salvaged. http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2505.jpg http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2514.jpg http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2516.jpg http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2517.jpg http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2518.jpg http://kjeltring.no/pre/orja251008/F35T2526.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hard to believe nothing was insured! Poor guys, how the hell do you come back from something like that?

DodgyRog Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I guess that the lack of insurance rules out arson due to the credit crunch:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 some of those shells, really like they are rusting and have been for some time...
