He was especially "gutted" because his "pride and joy", a Mitsubishi Evolution III rally car, was also destroyed.

Sounds like bad luck for him

yeah gutting, he's a decent guy too, went to school with him, but never realised that's what he was doing these days. Might have to go get some parts off him if he gets back up & running

Some people are just low, if you're bored and want to set something on fire, why not set you're self on fire, help the world

Yeah, had a chat to him. Full spares for the car and everything in there too. He'll be back. Was still selling bits from the 5 cars he had yesterday

i dont suppose the businesses insurance would have covered him since it was his own personnel possession and not apart of the business?

Yeah a evo 3 i think.

But he was running in rally otago yesterday, so I guess he managed to borrow a car?

by **Lloyd** » Sun May 17, 2009 5:27 pm

Car is borrowed.

And no, it was a GSR. But damn near everything on it was Evo

Nothing to see here people, move along. · by DJ » Thu May 28, 2009 4:41 pm

If so, thats a shame. I got parts for my old MR2 there.
