    Anybody else see, or know more about the G that caught fire on Chapel street yesterday.

    Orange one, apparently on the way back from detailing to Lambo shop.......

    Walls have ears my friend....

    but this news comes from George, who works for me, and his hairdresser used his fire extinguisher to put the fire out.....(the G driver, who was not the owner, ignored a request for $100 to replace the shop extinguisher!!)

    Quite normal really

    I once put someones 348 out at EC on a track day. do you think the guy offered to refill my cars extinguisher? not that I asked.
    Never even came up to thank me for not letting his car burn to the ground.

    Anyway, I expect that from Ferrari owners with no class......

    That would be a difficult phone call to the owner should there be one

    If it happened to me,at the time,i probably wouldnt even think to offer to refill/pay for it either sorry. But if it was asked of me,like the lambo guy was asked,id happily pay for it. No questions asked. And id be really happy that someone helped me out too :D That guy certainly has no class!

    Heya John,

    I have been in hibernation (happens every summer :)

    No nothing new. There is no room for anything more.

    All cars going well. This year is a big year though, 512 is up for a belt change.

    Sorry for not coming on sooner, but congrats on the QV.
    You should at least call for a coffee.

    Might be visiting SA for a day in the next weeks (work related of course). Maybe I can collect that case of VB of a certain someone.
